It’s not a matter of being spoonfed, it’s just that the whole design we’ve got right now is completely idiotic.
We need a ton of BG for arts, trascendences and the new items. Yet they removed most of the sources of it. The old saalus convent gave much more than the current dungeon, let alone the ones we could get from the BG shops. So the only good source left now is singularities.
Likewise, we now need a ton of magic stones, and we can only get them via either timegated contents, goddess grace (if you’re online during that time) or singularities.
And then you need brikynite, again either from goddess grace (as above), very low amounts on challenges, or singularities.
So the end result is that everyone uses the challenge vouchers from the badge shop to do a couple singularities per day at the highest level they can muster since all the useful resources we need are there, and challenges are neglected outside of the free ones you have per char. Sure, you may have alt chars…but then you can’t afford to equip them well - you haven’t got the spare BG for them too. And if you’ve already got glacias on main char? Well, it’s even worse for alts, as glacias require the full set for the bonus. So unless you’ve got an army of similar or identical chars, they can’t properly use those glacias and you have to use the old armors as fallback…that will lack ichors unless you unequip and reequip them everytime, and that’s assuming you did have varna weapons already done and ready for them. Oh, and of course you aren’t giving them other glacias or savinose - the raw expense in materials and BG to make them even decent would outweight the gains massively.
For most players, this ends up in actually playing like 25 minutes per day, and then staying afk at klaipeda cause there is nothing to do. Sure, you could farm silvers while we still can, but that’s far from being fun, and soon even that will be gone anyway.
