I've been playing this since launch, it's probably the final MMO I'm going to play and then begone from MMOs for along while if I do perma quit Lost Ark, I anticipated this game for years even during my time at BDO and was excited for Lost Ark during its alpha footage years back.

While I'm not quitting anytime soon, I do see the fall off of players, the inactivity of friends of new and old and those who have left the game entirely due to the grind and various other reasons.

For me there are problems in the game that could be improved, but I'm just going to go through my experience first, and to summarize the main problems of some of the content burnout that even I don't really engage in are:

1. Vertical Progression constant(a problem almost every MMORPG suffers from), but the issue in Lost Ark is the horizontal progressional areas feel mostly abandoned.
2. Gate5-6 Brelshaza mechanics being huge time sinks for what looks to me like insignificant rewards
3a. Ushering of new players gap skipping them to where current content is, is bad in the sense that you have a ton of new players in discouraged areas of the game with unfamiliar understanding of game's mechanics in general causing failure and then being gatekept out of runs. Ways around this could be granting veteran incentives to pair with mokoko-tags in their party.
3b. They could have an option to stat cap a run to be max effectiveness instead of overstat and give bonus drop rewards forcing veterans if they want to take on the strife of a slower run but more drops and be open to newer players, while leaving the current option of being overgeared and blitzing runs, such systems like this already exist in Inferno but just not to such a punishing degree.

I've been in some parties I've led where users were being toxic to a mokoko player just because they disconnected, not only did this anger me but this mindset of gatekeeping is the real problem I excised out of the party and actively blacklisted the person throwing shame over a new player just because they disconnected, which is no indicator to lack of skill or understanding at all, they are completely different factors of settings and this flamer wouldn't shut up about it until I force quit the run and just booted them and ended up gate keeping a gatekeeper.
