Legends players and GTOP - NX withdrawal symptoms

GTOP is currently broken and no votes can go through (1/4/2023).

In this post I want to discuss a hypothetical scenario where gtop never fixes their website, and we lose this source of nx income forever.

How long would players be willing to accept such losses before we see riots on the streets? At what point would it be time to move away from having a third party site be the main source of a vital in game resource?

Here I want to discuss the alternatives we currently have in a hypothetical world where GTOP no longer provides us with our nx.

1) Vote on TOPG (a knock off of gtop that only rewards 500 nx). Not viable in terms of nx / effort reward. Potentially could resolve the issue by boosting this to 6500 nx. But do we really want to stay dependant on a third party website? What if TOPG does the same thing as GTOP?

2) Do party quests to get nx from the bonus stages. CWKPQ gives on average 187 nx per box. Given that a normal 5 man run takes like 45mins and you get like 6 boxes, this is only 1.5k nx per hour, not enough to replace the current gtop progression.

3) Multiclient farm maps like damp forest. This is probably the only viable solution to get nx if no changes are made. The problem is that it would require insane character investment and would alienate all non sweaty players from progressing. It looks like you can get around 3.9k nx per hour with this strat, so with like 2 hours of gameplay you can match the GTOP passive pace.

Do you think changes are needed or should everyone interested in heavy wash projects settle into the multiclient farm meta?

Or will the challenge system save us all to the point where we don't really need nx?
