so at  min  4  I  NEVER  do  and  a few  other  are  weekly so  situational when  you  want  to  undertake them 

result  2 hrs  a day  on  my  account  and  I  am  23 mil  account and play 5+ yrs  ...LOVE  this  game  and  WISH  I  could  spend  more time  playing  the  game  I  love

so  at  end of day  tell me  how  Raid  pleases  all us ?

I don't think Raid is ever going to please everyone - nor should it try.

But that doesn't detract away from the fact that time spent in game is an absolutely massive issue - especially for those who play primarily on mobile. Actual functioning background battles are a great first step but there needs to be autocomplete in a lot more areas of the game and/or other ways to expedite matters. I am very much end game but when there's:

Live Arena, Tag, some Classic everyday 

Hydra/Chimera weekly (granted Hydra has auto but depending on how sweaty your clan is 1-2 keys probably want to be manual)

Siege every other week, PR CvC once a month 

Doom Tower (fine, this should be fast for later game)

Cursed City

Hard Faction Wars

Grim Forest

It just gets to be a bit much. 

You could play 4 (more?) alt accounts? :P

I  suppose  at  end  of the day  WHAT does  RAID  want  to  be ???????????????TRUTH

mobile game =  I  hear  you  loud  and clear  and  ASH  says  he  spends  20  hrs   a week  on  his  phone playing  RAID

NOW  ME!!!   I  am  a  MMO  RPG  gamer  who  LOVES  grinding  and  countless  hrs  spent  in a  MMO  to  better  my  account  progress= reward  ON  PC  gaming  PCs

Crazy  that  any  video agme  can  compete  with  both  genre   mobile/PC.  IMO

But  Raid  does  it  some how.   Raid  attracts the older generation  MMO  players  who  have  dope  PCs  and  in  same  breath  the  youbger  mobile  players  (which  I  am  not)  playing  on  phones.

Its  honestly  crazy  how they manage to keep  all  engaged.  I  think  Grim  Forest  really  helped them attract  NEW  customers  while  still  entertaining  old  folk  like me  ;)

I  do  not have the answers to  make  it all work  but  to  be clear  I AM  accepting  of  some for  of  SIM  fights  for  older  content  assuming  you  proved  your account  can  do  it repeatedly  ;)

You say that you love the game, and anyone paying attention knows that you vote with your wallet periodically.  

You also say that you wish you could spend more time per day playing,, but you skip a lot of the end-game content that requires work.  That is certainly your perogative, but Raid does offer you more opportunities to engage with their content.

The part that I don't really get here PG, is that you've already stated you do everything on autobattle. Which is totally fine, to be clear. But if you do everything on autobattle, you clearly aren't actually watching the game as these are happening. Why wouldn't you want those to just complete automatically? The autobattle part can't possibly be the part of the game you enjoy.

That's all we're asking for. To make the monotonous part of the game disappear. What made this game fun, for me at least, was discovering everything, and understanding how to get past those challenges. Now that I'm long-since past those, I see no interest at all in just having to spend hours getting through them. If I have an hour or two a day to spend, I don't want to spend it on stuff I've already completed - and I especially don't want to feel like I *have* to, because if not, I'll fall behind.

Time creep is definitely going strong again.  Pretty much ever since the introduction of LA its been getting worse.  Im hopeful for some QOL stuff on that front early next year.

Be gone AI bot.  

MooredRat/WileyMan/kram  I  respect  all you  and you all make very strong  points .  Like  maybe I need  to  play  more  than 1 account

Some things I just  do not see enough  reward  to do  ....like   Iron Twins  (thats  just my opinion)

Hydra  I  auto and  or fast complete and generally  take the result for what it is

Chimera is same  for me.  I set up   a  team set to auto and  yes I know  its  gonna  take 20 min or  more  so  I go watch   raid  videos on youtube while I wayt  and  come  back later while  it plays  in the tray of my PC

Dungeons  well  I see  no reason to do it  except for a tourney or some  other  stimulating reward

ShoGun and  the other  one well I  do set up  100 or so  battles  time to time but same  drop into tray and go do something else to come  back later

Now Grim Forest  has  my full   attention  and  I  do a  little of both  manual and  auto  but  its the closest thing to playing  a actual RPG MMO  imo  and  engages  me fully

Classic arena  I  pick easy fast wins /  do my   TTA for faction war keys and farm  FWs  on auto by  again droping into tray   and watching YT .  Doom Tower same thing set to auto and  put  in tray to go  watch  YT

Now  there  is a  strong case for  how  can  anyone  enjoy   a  game  so much when they   are  not actually   playing (I say I  watch YT  more than actually play)  ...   But  for ME  this  is what works for me to enjoy this  game

Maybe  its  just   the account development side  of it where  you never   truely win  but always get better and  the collecting  champions.  social side of community .  It  just   all works for me.....as  oddly   different  it is from all you other  who   play your way.

You play the way that you have fun, that's the only thing that matters.

Even on the rare occasion when I disagree with you on a topic, PG, I respect your opinion, and I always love your enthusiam.

Also, if you wanna create and grind 6 referral accounts up to 50 or whatever it is for me, i wouldnt object to getting chronham and whatshername ;)
