It is a way to force players into content they don't want to do. OC S was laughably unpopular within a few weeks and North hasn't been received too well either. The fact that these devs have to artificially inflate the player interaction by requiring more players (crafter mains) to do unpopular battle content on top of an already tedious phantom relic grind is baffling when it comes to the games design.
