I don't mind the grind however

I do not enjoy being locked out of content. The honing rates are fine as they are. I get that you need some carrot on the stick. But move the raid to 1340 at the very least if not lower.

In fact all content should be max at 1340 until you bring us a new way to get materials. I am just 10 points shy of 1370 but 10 points seems like 2 maybe 3 weeks away and that is IF i get average or better honing results.

Sure I could swipe and drop 100, 200 bucks and get there tonight but I feel I will fall in the same hole again and again and again and again.

I feel you here. I do not mind grinding, but it would be nice to have more outlets to get material. I didn’t realize how much content we were missing to get materials until Asmon mentioned it in his video.
