An 'Optional' boss? I say poor game planning [a different rant]

How come everyone can acces a random giant jelly or a shadowy beast and even a fiery undead king that nothing has to do with the base story of the game, yet they consider optional a fight vs the supposed guardians of the clockworks?

Seriously, the game is upside-down now.

Except THE game. If you weren't playing before now, well now you are. If you were already playing, you just lost. You now have 30 minutes to forget about the game without losing again.

No, Juances, you left the most strange part about the game.

You know the Shadow Lairs, right? You know that they cost 1800CE to play once, and that the price of the Expansion Mission is sort of like that? And you can only play them once and their rewards aren't worth it.... well, Snarbolax set may be, but I mean going "deeper" into them.

With the new Expansion Mission you have:

- A way of making Crowns in a new environment, after being sick of FSC= This is also true in SLair, but you can only play ONCE SL before you have to pay again.
- Rewards: You have awesome 5* weapons, you only have a set of armor in SL that could be replaced by other Shadow Armor if you aren't a swordman.
- Infinite access! Which FSC doesn't have.
- A NEW boss, and not palette swapped versions (also, agains Snarbolax is the most original as they are 2)

So, why would anyone now want to go to Shadow Lair for a different experience? They are vastly more expensive and a waste of CE money for the most part. But that is what I think as a normal player, maybe the businessmen can explain me about material wins or something (which going 2 times at SLair would net you Snarbolax set complete...)

I stopped trying years ago. That game was boring anyway.
