Damage Sponge Events on a Declining Game

After coming back for Fresh Start and playing through these past 3 events (Turkey, Yeti and Crassus) it is abundantly clear that AGS does not understand how unenjoyable they have been. In a game where the population across most if not all servers has been on a steady decline how does it make sense to make a limited-time event to where you need 20 people in order to do it in a reasonable amount of time and not spending almost 1k gold to repair items cause you get 1 shot by the 5 million health world boss. For the current event which is Crassus if you do not have at least 20 players, it can take upwards of 30 minutes just to get your singular crate for the day. Limited-time events should be able to be considered fun and not a chore to do in order to not lose out on the chance for easy money cause we all know the gear is mostly unusable. We were given the idea that the Crassus event was going to be like an open-world invasion when in reality it’s just 3 damage sponges and a couple of resized mobs with more health. I implore the dev team to try to beat the world boss with just the employees at AGS to see the amount of time it takes to kill theses bosses. With all of that being said I do see the vision AGS is trying to create but it is being done while completely out of touch with what their community wants. If this is any indication of what the future world boss that was spoken about in the past dev blogs and on the roadmap for 2023 then you will only be able to beat it when the servers are over 500 population unless you have taken the time to cultivate a PvE community in which you can take on this content with.
Side Note: Server merges shouldn’t be delayed just because of leaderboards and events all it does is make the game stale for the players on suffering servers resulting in more loss of players. Server merges are the only way this game is going to stay afloat because nobody is gonna start playing again just cause there is a new 5 million hp boss to wait 15 minutes for people to group up to kill and then take another 20 minutes to actually kill.
