Pottable badges were restricted due to orders from KMS not wanting us to have better badges than the KMS meta. Why go for the Black Mage badge when we have Ghost Ship Exorcist, and all that. I agree that it was a poorly thought out decision, but honestly the only way I see them returning is if KMS makes them the new meta.

Which will never happen. That would entail admitting that the genesis badge is, as we all know it to be, utterly worthless.

Ah yes, making sure that players can't bumrush content and burn through all of it within a matter of weeks or even days is cheap and low-effort compared to what? Forcing devs to work mass amounts of overtime, focusing on nothing but continually pumping out content for a ravenous player base that will never stop nor be satisfied?

Two problems: 1) regardless of what misguided, asinine thoughts or opinions you have on the matter, having a healthy work-life balance does not come secondary to whatever short-sighted desires you have. And 2) when you start demanding more of developers, everything starts to suffer. Events will become even more bland and unoriginal, content will feel disjointed and there will be a speed bump almost between content that is cohesive and flows well and jank overworked last-minute rush jobs.

You can stop quoting entire goddamn chains too, riza.

It's easier to timegate content than produce it at the speed the playerbase would want it to if the timegate was removed.

A great example of this is ms2. You were given 30 dungeon clear rewards per week(15 per day), people would blast through all 30 in the first two days after weekly reset. They added, for a time, a button to reset dungeon clears, effectively 30 -> 60, and all that accomplished was people blowing through 60 dungeon clears in four days instead of 30 in two. Pre-button, people cried about not having enough to do; post-button they still did.

You will never, from a development perspective, keep pace with players clearing/completing content.

If you're on bera I will literally give you a superior pendant and/or belt to stop whining.

Also, gollux has always been a time-gate. One clear per day and if you didn't get a superior drop well then sucks to suck.

Nobody likes time gated content - and if you disagree then shut the hell up you freak.

I hope to god you don't actually have kids with this attitude. Are you going to tell your kid(s) to shut the hell up and call them freaks for disagreeing with you too? If you act the same way toward them that you do toward a video game, your children will grow up resenting you, and will undoubtedly gripe about you at length to anyone who they feel they can confide in, be it a friend of theirs or under the anonymity of the internet.
