The original game was just that. It didn’t have legion raids. It was just story, islands and minigames.
The game failed to make a profit and had horrible retention, the owner of lost ark basically gave the devs a free pass to go back and redesign the game to be fun.
So while you might like the story-telling and island exploration aspect, it’s not what makes a lot of players love the game. The opposite is in fact true.
Moving forward base on KR releases, I’m afraid all this game got are raids, raids, and more raids. It seems to be dev’s only focus outside of making classes.
i mean what did you expect from a p2w mobile/moba style game 
It’s a Grind KR MMORPG Raid based. We knewed that 1-2years before we even got it to EU/NA.
So why crying? If you don’t like it don’t play it. Simple as that.
Has kr found the last ark yet? Or is south vern the last story content where getting for awhile?
I guess the last Ark will be the end of the Game and based on that guessing I don’t think the last Ark will come so soon. Just always new Content/Story like the 2 new Regions.
yes
seems your brain got an “error_404” indeed, “crappy raids” 
, just because you suck or can’t get the gear and everything right, doesn’t mean the raids are crappy, get a reality check
spoiler of sorts
they have found the last ark already and its only the beginning of the story
Ok good to know. Since I don’t follow any KR streamer and only read the patches I didn’t know that, that’s why I just guessed.
lost ark was dying raids are the things that brought people back and kept them to stay @Error_404
It was pumping with players…then the raids started.
I mean … It’s litteraly what the game is based on.
We never had any of this. Its always “do stupid chore for tokens and mats” from events or shallow as fuck islands that only make you get there for a shitty rng token,
that is false
the debacle of maple story made people come to lost ark
stop parrotting your favorite streamers
Rowen comes after Brel
ah! interesting opinion. I am quite critical but for some reason I really enjoy most of the islands. They tell cute little stories and have fun cut scenes.
What is the RPG part then? Is a raid the RPG part? Or is Lost Ark just a MMO?
yeah man, the gatekeeping and toxicity of the raids will downsize the population to 10- 20 k players. Mark my words. And I do not predict this with joy, I really love this game a lot.
The South Korean developers, are the ones who have the team that runs our version.
If you dont want to look at their version then dont, but this is what we get.
