even something as simple as making leg enchant / shoulder enchant require 2,000 CR in 2s + 1,750 CR in 3s simultaneously would feel so cool, like ..this server is just a bunch of random people playing un-seriously a few times a week to kill an hour or less, there is no point to even play on here
you gotta captivate people and make them achieve something, otherwise the feeling to continue playing is not there
I dunno, I am not good at articulating my thoughts but, you get the general idea
If I have something better to do, I'd go do it in a heartbeat, but if I was working towards something like "attaining this leg enchant or piece of gear" I'd put in more time and feel good about it and want to continue playing more after earning it because I put the time in and got rewarded physiologically, like a personal mini-mission victory of mine
and once you've earned something and felt good about it, you'll continue to play because the vast majority of people won't quit after earning something they put a lot of time / energy into, otherwise it'd just be wasted for them, not everybody would have it at the same time as well because others earn it faster / slower than others, so this teeny, tiny little advantage over other players feels mentally good and makes you wanna continue and even showing off in some sense just by having it
take for example (on a lesser scale) that feeling you got when on vanilla live 1.12.1 and you inspected a guy with a piece of gear from Naxx like t3 head or Naxx weapon, felt epic and like ..you wanted to be that guy
