also cutting 30k Alexandrite down to 15k and 100k Ichor down to 50k is not meaningfully changing the amount of different content you do, just halving a 20 year old hellgrind (not literally 20 years old. only 18 or whatever.) and letting you get to the other content parts of it sooner

I still wonder what they think players are doing to obtain this quantity of Alex. Forget the cost and time burning old content, just trading that quantity is insanely irritating. Then you have to get Beitetsu, do trials, etc.

I've always wished they would give players a reasonable way to earn a Cats Eye or something doing current content. Trade x segments/rp, y galli, whatever - something other than what we have to do now, which is either buy all of it or grind old *** content forever.

I am a broken record with this, but some seem to forget that this is only really possible if you have a consistent group of static players going. That's the real problem with modern, current content. It's not about you, the player, as much as it is you and 5 others.

I would love someone to ask Fujito-san face-to-face - "You said getting a prime weapon is possible solo. What setup have you used to beat Aminon solo to be able to make that claim."

SE talks a lot of ***and doesn't get called on it. I remember the ***show in the official JP forums when HQ Aminon was first released. Yet not a single person has called out that, even if you could somehow solo 7.5m muffins in a single human life time, how the *** are you beating Aminon solo. Or any boss really.

Oh keep in mind he said that BEFORE they nerfed the basement bosses, fully aware that they were all to be in that enraged mode after stage 4.

That's what I keep coming back to with SE and their plan for XI. That was their original vision for Primes, which they doubled down on before backing off. It's evidence of just how out of touch they are.

I'm actually not opposed to the difficulty spike in the basement they had planned, IMO the *** part was the claim above and that the rewards were the same. If they had sped up the galli gains for stage 5 by beating the harder bosses, I'd be 100% ok with that, but keeping them the same, claiming it can be done solo, and then doubling down on it is just lol

ambu is the intended solution to RMEA currencies, which is mostly fine, enough to make good progress or sell some but not instantly finish a weapon every month. the problem is they conveniently turn an eye from the 24/7 salvage bots that supply enough alex to finish weapons instantly on demand. would take all of 5 minutes looking at logs to see that 99% of salvage participation is a few bots, with the rest being real people doing trials and not farming alex themselves.

They have no reason to ever do that

Lose subscribers. cause other players to be mad about no alex flow.

Whats the upside; there isn't one

I'm sure they would just come back and say "You can get a stage 3 and stage 4 prime solo. Fully completing a prime requires beating bosses which is a team effort." or some BS like that.

Like a politician hiding behind semantics to excuse lying through their teeth.

Idk how accurate this translation is but the quote isn't remotely what you said.

Fujito: Yes, it will be. We have tried to make it so that solo players can work hard to strengthen the game in line with their current style of play. However, the final stage may be a little tougher.

What was the question exactly. Just showing an answer with no context is not helpful.
