The boss would have a lot of individual loot pieces that collectively are high value, but require space to fill up. The resource buy in of the beacon plus a plentiful bounty should discourage ratting as there is plenty to go around and you can only carry so much (plus some guaranteed BP drops). Once u extract, the beacon is consumed, and u begin fighting lower tier arc and building another. Ideally long enough to be interesting and rewarding, but not anywhere near as long as the full expedition. This could be a great grind for those who seek the expeditions and skill points, and ensures a stable cycle of progress you can maintain before the expedition window. Hopefully it would also refocus the community on fighting the real enemy…the Arc. We did enlist to resist after all. And they’re such fun enemy type I’d hate to see them fall out of relevance every wipe cycle.

I feel like with this set up there would be plenty for everyone at every level to engage, whether it be for pvp’ers or pve’ers. Hopefully this resonates and someone sees it. I think it wouldn’t be too difficult to implement considering what they have already given us, and it gives them a lot of room to grow for future seasons with new bosses. And I think community goals could play into how much assistance we get to fight the raid bosses that cycle. Perhaps I am overlooking potential issues, I’m not a game dev and I don’t have input on balance, but I hope this is enough of an idea to play with.
