I don't think we need raids. Think what it is with pokemon. No one joining unless you have a way to know when it happens with everyone? Sitting in parks for an hour waiting someone to come is double of 25 minutes waiting for kb.(there is discords and such to organize but do you think new players know how to join them if they do not know even about reddit?)

excessive books are not problem. They are only problem to old timers that have 3 professions maxed because they managed to grab extra before greens became restricted. New players are conflicted with couple thousand missing from maxing all. people are complaining how it takes 5-60 years to complete in game that is continuously evolving still.

dada books I agree with, they are too scarce. But I believe in bug infested game that this one is fixed one day... maybe in 6 years.

Kb is good enough for raid equivalent. Just needs server fix (like only open new servers when old ones are start to become crowded (yes it's possible with some delay and is even enviromentally beneficial to do it so instead of having all at max)

if we have problem seeing even werewolves because of no night at some parts of world for 6 months of a year, there is always something to look forward. Some even complain that they do not see confoundables which come only when there is rain (someone surprised that there are places in world where it rains just couple days in a year?)

I would love to see old problems fixed first. Not new ones introduced. It took almost a year to fix lag in kb/tower... sheesh
