It feels like raids rewards killed the the little joy I got from the rest of the game
Might be a bit of an unpopular opinion and don't get me wrong, I think raids were a fine addition. But there were still a few things in the game that got people excited... Like Rad rumble popping up. But who wants the measly 2-3ks of xp shooting a few ghouls when you can have +200k xp from finishing one level of raids? Especially if you fall into a team that carry unyielding power armour and can shred the snake before you have to stimpack once.
I went to a rad rumble on a full server a few days ago. It was sad. There were 3 of us. Rest of the server was either prepping for raids or doing raids.
Why did they have to exaggerate the rewards sooooo much... All I am finding lying around everywhere is serums, stimpacks, radxs and such.
