If you think getting a good endgame weapon is hard now you should've been here for episode 9.5. The best gear was Apoc and the only way to craft it was by getting the blue tear, which had like a 1/800 chance of dropping in a raid you could only do 3-4 times a week if I'm remembering this right. Now you can get a full OJ weapon just by doing your raids/abyssal and buying pieces with seals if you really dont feel like dropping 10-16 mil per piece. Plus, a +10 is really all you need to do well, which is really easy to get even without NX. I consistently get top 4 dps on my Evie with a +10 Leo Lugh Scythe.
I think one of the big reasons why this game loses players is because once you get geared you run out of things to do and there aren't a lot of challenges left.
Raids right now are trivial. None of them are really a challenge bar Neamhain; they start, some people get clapped occasionally and then the raid ends 5-15 minutes after you start it. I think adding Neamhain is a good addition to the game. I hope they add more obscenely difficult raids like that but I'd prefer if they made them less stat dependant. Kinda like Keaghan on his release. The guy has 3k defense. That raid took a while cause he had a ton of health, had a lot of different combos/attacks and hit like a train. More raids like that would be pretty nice.
