My issue with Lost Ark's daily chores is that they really feel like chores and aren't fun at all and they already know this and have solutions in place but have not ported over some of those solutions, thus resulting in a miserable fucking experience for some of the more casual players.. They just need to prioritize them.
As an example: I am more efficient at clearing chaos dungeons than 99% of people. I have more playtime available to me than 99% of people. I still find doing them to be a chore even if they're incredibly rewarding. Every single time I step into the second and third maps all I can think is, "why the fuck do I need to run all over the fucking place." There is already a solution in place: the maps have been cut to small islands where the auto aggro range will basically allow you to stay in the center and just clear mobs in KR. Port that shit over yesterday.
If this change was ported to NA, I would save a few seconds clearing because I am already efficient and know how to properly farm. It is not a big deal. It would however help those who take 6-7 minutes to bring the clear time closer to my level. I still want this change to occur because the few seconds I save is time
not well spent as it's clearly being spent doing chores.
Guardian raids are an entirely different beast where someone just needs to wake the fuck up and realize that no one wants to do 2x of these a day. Here's an idea (that isn't even part of KR): based on the total amount of characters that I have available to queue for the Guardian, provide me the option to collect the rewards for all of them as I see fit when I clear it. Don't make me re-clear it. Also (and this part is going to be addressed) but you should never, ever, ever fucking leave a Guardian which ports 3x as a final guardian for 1-2 months of farming. While I am efficient and fortunate enough to use consumables to bypass this; it's fucking annoying.
With that being said, knowing nothing about him,
Chimney
is definitely playing efficiently (a lot more so than a lot of you) and this makes a HUGE difference. The daily shit in Lost Ark is significantly
reduced compared to the daily shit I would need to farm in other MMOs. I very much am able to do most of it within a little over an hour a day, which compared to other MMOs is absolutely nothing from a time spent position. As mentioned, my issue is that none of that shit is actually fun to do and there is no good reason for that.
Thankfully the challenging part of switching from KR is over for me now, which was waiting for legion commanders to be released and gathering a sufficient amount of resources to be able to auto pilot and focus on the content that I enjoy (which is a day or two of commanders and a day or two of abyss raids) while playing classes as they release. Provided AGS doesn't fuck this up, I'll be quite happy to focus on that for summer time and it's better than any other MMO out there by a metric fuckton. That doesn't mean that every time I run around a chaos dungeon wasting a second here or there isn't retarded though.
