Then it's gonna be a fucking dead ass game at the top end, with a high percentage of players just abandoning it shortly after they reach 60.
Enjoy the literal physical gates they're gonna put around encounters. So immersive.

Uhhh no, I'm not going to do raids in this game as you describe them. I am absolutely a 'casual' by your definition, as are 99% of other players
You are the weirdo here sir. We'll see if there's enough other weirdos to justify more than a single server after 8 months, but I think you know the answer to that.

You're not going to do a raid in a relevent time period regardless of how much they bend over backwards for you, you're a bad investment.
Farming items to spawn raids is fine, no instancing I would say is a hard and fast rule, you're just speedrunning why WoW sucked vs EQ in real time

So for anyone who is curious about what I mean, here's what they're testing now. Actual gates/pens around encounters that you trigger:
They're simultaneously hyper concerned about features that feel too 'gamey', while also thinking this is a great solution. It's wild stuff. Feels like Diablo lol.

Given the groundwork and "idea" of the game, I just dont see how they can get away from the "gamey" feel if they dont want to utilize instancing, dailies/weeklies, etc. that people say "ruined" WoW.
That Bone Construct "Cage" is just one example of what theyre working on and for that encounter, it seems fine for what it is. If anything, I think they should add more flare to that one encounter - like the group that "triggers" the event stabs the ground and a shield goes around group members, stunning them for a brief second - while the bone construct spawns, slams the ground, and everyone thats not in that bubble or w/e is grav fluxed out of the room. Presentation and all that.
Same with the raid boss that spawns in a sand storm. The group that triggers that boss makes an action of "hunkering" down in the sand storm, and everyone outside of that group is "feared" with blinding sand on their screen and they run to the perimeter of a "sand storm wall" before the fear ends. Unable to get back past that sand storm wall until the encounter is over.
Just two examples that come fresh to my mind with the limited bit that I experienced before stepping away from the game.
I dont necessarily understand what hes getting at, or trying to elaborate on.. with boss encounters being able to spawn every 15 minutes for example. But again, I'm not against most of the changes Ive seen taking place when it comes to raid bosses. Gamey or not.

I've never understood why something being gamey in a game is a bad thing? I am all for immersion and making system fit in the world, but letting something exist just because the game demands it is usually just fine IMO
