This event has just confirmed the game is super dead outside Japan. Nobody joins raids, unions are all dead. JP players are grinding level 20 raids, only discord groups coordinating can get even close to that on global. Seriously, I started a level 9 raid, killed half of it, and zero people joined in the evening EST. It's easy points, just one or two people kill the rest of it, but no.

That, and this shit is incredibly time consuming and boring. Easily the worst game mode ever.
