absolutely, but it's extremely bad when they change existing content to take longer to complete for minimal reward or release new content that is a haul to complete with barely any reward, that is engagement farming in bad faith instead of just rewarding players for their time invested.
They are fully capable of giving us shorter content with at least decent reward but they wont do that because why would they? Players will still run that crazy tedious dungeon and beat their heads against it for a tiny tiny chance at the roll they're after but they might literally never see that roll drop.

So, the persisting accusation of "engagement farming" is a load of bullsquirt since by your own admission players will continue to play regardless of content length then.

Nope, you're intentionally misunderstanding what im saying because you already made up your mind from the get go. What im saying really isn't hard to understand if you've played enough over the years where quick and simple things have been changed to become more tedious and time consuming or the game design has straight up changed to become more time consuming for no apparent reason.

No, I'm not misunderstanding anything, and I've been gaming for 35 years so you whiffed on that. I think the more likely scenario, based on my aforementioned experience, is that players have much shorter attention spans and a higher expectation of getting the same rewards for less effort than they once did.

Lightfall literally made the entire game more difficult and tedious (except for patrol zones other than neomuna) There was no reason for this and i vividly remember people going absolutely ballistic because even red bars took a freaking reload to kill. And with this difficulty increase there was also no increase in rewards at all. You've been gaming for over 35 years and you really said "yOu WhiFfed On ThaT" when there is literally no way to know anyones age on the forums, good god i refuse to believe a person that old can be THIS childish, incredible. I'll stop replying now because i can tell you wont budge on this.

You made the remark "really isn't hard to understand if you've played long enough over the years," implying that I'm either ignorant or new to gaming and you're going to accuse me of being childish? Smart decision, don't reply.
