Downgrade those gems on main to 6s on CD and 7s on DMG(6s on filler damage skills). That's all you need at 1680 now(you were never getting into pub Aegir HM with 7s anyways), 6s work on any 1660 alts you have, and 5/6s work for any 1640 alts as long as you have full transcendence and elixirs and next week those will all be easy to get.

The Frontier system looks like a sort of catch-up mechanic. The game already has some of that, in the form of the gear progression - as your gear gets better, the raids do get easier naturally. I guess that's why KR doesn't get this, as they have longer time between raids and therefore better gear playing them. I don't know if it will be enough to counter the gatekeeping issue (I doubt it to be honest), but it is a step in the right direction.

MMOs in general are niche just cuz of the fact you can't just hop in and play whenever you want to like FPS and other type of games, they require constant time and effort. Even the goats of MMOs that had millions of players back in the day like WoW classic up to Wotlk required a constant time investment, you couldn't raid ICC and original Naxx with T1 gear, they had to get thru the grind of progressing raids, doing dungeons and other content to get to the hardest and "fun" content. Even if they release LA2, the game would be popular for a couple of months and slowly start bleeding, games like LA come and go with every major patch/update just as all the other MMOs, that is just the reality of MMOs, they all slowly dwindle and bleed out players until they had 50-100k hardcore population and thats it.

Hell, I bet Zeals has played the game and spent like 100x times more than the vast majority of players (he has Esther weapon on multiple classes) and even he's advocating for a hard reset. People like you who are clinging on to the progress you made at the cost of the state of the playerbase are just enabling this game to slide down into irrelevance.

I think its actually a very complicated question, its ez to say yea throw everything away and start anew, but then it also ends up possibly hurting the whale community which is without a doubt why this game still exist. Most people will say the solution is new players, but I think we forget that all of us rn are giving time and money to this company already, so the option of making the game even better for the people already here is also viable, and then expend from within by rebuilding trust. Most people I know entered a doomage phase and barely spends any money anymore. Just look at the recent survey and the openly biased question about their poor sale for the Black Friday deals. Overall, I think the true solution is a mix of both realities. We need to rethink the game from within first, then we can expend to newcomers.

I agree with almost everything, I would say though that the MMO genre is not dying, I think a ton of people would love a new big MMO to play, it's just that there hasn't been a new one in years that has everything that people are looking for, especially the LA and BDO playerbase that want an MMO with a great combat system. Throne and Liberty came out but the combat and movement in that game is heavily lacking, and even then it had almost 400k people just on steam that tried the game on launch. Lost Ark had like 1.5 mil that tried the global launch a few years ago. I think the interest is there, but there hasn't been anything that appealing recently. The majority of MMO players are still playing the same few 10+ year old games.

Every time a studio puts the effort in to make a good game they make an insane amount of money- look at Elden Ring, Wukong, Baldurs Gate 3, Cyberpunk (after the updates.)

I still think LoA combat in raids is exceptionally fun. Why there's so little players then? The answer is very simple. Ratio of good parts (combat/classes/raids/some islands) to bad parts (all vertical and horizonal systems/etc) is extremely skewed towards bad and there's no replayability in this game. You managed to overcome transenance/elixirs/ark passive on 1 character? Good for you, you can now play about 2 hours worth of content each week and if you want more you need to go through allllll the systems again to earn maybe another 1 or 2 hours of good weekly content. It's just not worth it for any sane new player.
