Raids, and M+ are not requirements, thats wht we do not do them. Unless we need a kill to advance our war campaign. We find enough fun in the rest of the content. We do not have to sit in front of the computer for 13 hours a day to try and keep up with other people like we did back in the ancient days of this game.
You should not have to make a game a second job, risk your health, and actually really risk your sanity just to keep up. That was a huge problem back in the day, and a big reason we have most of the QoL features we have today.
Been there, done that. Ended up in the hospital back in those days. Im 55 now and that kind of play style will just not cut it anymore, and i for one am glad i do not have to play like that anymore!
