I suppose when I'm saying "I'm fine with spiral abyss being the way it is" is really me making a concession because there's absolutely no way they wouldn't have at least SOME activity that necessitates being a fucking whale or dedicating metric tons of time to maximizing a full compliment of people. Not that I actually like spiral abyss personally or find it compelling.
Not even in the slightest. If I had all the correct people on-level with even modest gear, I'd be steamrolling these domains. Conversely, all the cry babies whining about childe's fight were lacking in something that they can't get from just time-sinking in the game: skill.This too lol.
Ergo, the two situations are different. Wanting to be successful while using variety != wanting to be successful while being bad.
Wow used to be like this, then they realized "hey, it's fucking retarded to make a boss completely immune to fire damage, because all those people who like fire mage essentially have to reroll or play something outside of their desired fantasy."
