rewards we did not have before

I'd be grateful for what we got instead of already complaining that they're too hard to obtain

You know, I've never understood the attitude that as long as something is free, it's beyond reproach. What if the target was 40,320 minutes? Would it be reasonable to complain then? It's not as though Nexon is giving you free stuff out of the goodness of their hearts. Weekly and monthly goals are there to give players mid-term goals to work towards and increase player retention. In other words, it's there because Nexon thinks it'll make them more money. While I don't hold that against them -- making money is what corporations are for -- the idea that players should be "grateful" for them acting in their own interests is laughable.

Note also that I take umbrage not simply with the difficulty of attaining the playtime target, but with the large discrepancy between the weekly and monthly targets. They set a precedent that playing <2.5 a day is sufficient for weekly rewards but more than double that when it comes to qualifying for that specific monthly reward. Other monthly rewards are far more reasonable. The 60 transformations mission requires ~2 transformations a day equating to just over 1 hour at worst; 100 raids is just over 3 raids a day which is easily under an hour.

The 10k minute mission is a massive outlier in time commitment hence why I asked for a sanity check, not a handout. (less)

One of the monthly missions is 10,000 minutes. That's over 5.5 hours a day. This is pretty unreasonable and would require idling overnight or spending way too much time playing this game (… (more)like I do +shy). In contrast, the weekly mission is far more reasonable at 1000 minutes or under 2.5 hours a day.

And, yes, I'm aware that the 10k number is even more absurd this month because we only have a week left but I'm going to let that slide. (less)
