Im geared so not running into issues, but definitely do think that at this point, they should add Thornbreaker stage 9 to story mode. People that came back are kinda left with exalted weapon and pretty hard to get into parties even for lfp groups or weekly pleb raids. Not sure about the lifespan of bns because it is just not player friendly for new players. Sure there was cta but what about those that couldnt do it? I just think storymode needs to give good gear so players can enjoy. Some random said its not the destination but the journey. Well tbh, the journey seems pretty grim for new players, alts or ppl that play the game casually.
Also just wondering why they don't do anything about cheaters like in spectral shrine. People using bns buddy, automatic scripts etc. Win trading for seasonal arena bg, seems kinda weird that these ppl aren't getting banned for it. I do hope so, but if not: the future of blade and soul is not gonna last even with ue4.
