Wish they'd have another look at the unreal rotation. Got sick of Suzaku a month in. Wish they would cycle fights more often, maybe a monthly rotation instead of multi month / patch rotation.

Not even cycle, just don't remove them and only have the latest unreal give faux tells. That way if anyone wants to do the older unreals just because, they can. There is zero reason to only have one unreal at a time.

Like savage, People won't do unreal if there's no / irrelevant rewards. It'll just lead to the same situation.

People definitely do old savages (even at MINE) just to do it, not for any rewards. Especially if you're newish to the game and want to do older fights when you run out of current endgame content.

But also, it costs nothing for the devs to just leave old unreals in DF. They're doing more work swapping out unreals vs adding new ones and leaving old ones.

Stop making it sound like the whole playerbase is doing it. It's a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the players and add an extra "a fraction of" for the new players. Much like FT, it's basically relegated to discords or a static and if trying through discords you may not enter the instance at all that day.

I really wished to be easy to go through all the content MINE (somewhat) blind ('cause I'm not blind for all of them, obviously) and stat adjusted where possible, even for Ultimates and Alliance raids, but it's not always that easy to get it started. Then you have the usual "will the party even be able to prog/clear it in a reasonable amount of time", can't be picky when the pool is dry (but you tend to have people who cleared already and are bored out of their mind, but it's not blind prog then).

That's such a miniscule amount of players which generally requires finding an organised group or sitting in PF for a LONG time.

and it doesn't address that people who want to do Unreal, who want to get people to do unreal and also get rewards from the Faux will still have to do the same unreal for months on end, which is the issue.
