Its not even in the game yet people start complaining. Without any thought given to it. It wont kill raiding as it is.
The point of removing it is so you have more choice from the loottable, not being locked to 4 pieces from the start of a tier.
Raiding should feel fun to do, not a chore to get the 4p bonus as fast as possible, with titanforging involved, you may have passed on loot that would have been
a significant upgrade, but simply because of " im going to put a setpiece there" you didnt take it.
Welcome some changes guys, its a good Qol change overall.
