I know it is somewhat unpopular for me to say this, but Lost Halls / Events were never really about whites for me.
Events gave me a small chance to get that cool skin that I could never get (I had bad experiences with pretty much ever mystery box I opened).
Halls gave me fame.
In all honesty you can jack up the white rates but I still say the only S tier white that comes from halls is MSEAL. Nothing else is really game changing.
I truly didn’t care if I got a white at the end of halls I just did it mostly for the enjoyable experience and the fame.
I feel the same way about the events I mostly did them because it was fun to bum rush dungeons with massive amounts of players.
It was also fun to hear the RL banter and some of the crazy and wacky chat events.
Ultimately it felt fun to just do something in a discord in an organized fashion.
The discord problem is really on full display now. When I shy away from discord ques of 100+ individuals, I genuinely find myself struggling to find things to do.
The discords in a way felt like a guild (most ingame guilds are flaky to say the least) and now it feels like they’ve cut off a large portion of the community.
I’ve talked about this before and I understand why they did it, but it’s still super frustrating and makes the game actually quite lonely.
