"Oh no, I got pushed off this precarious ledge!" or "Here is some poison on top of a debuff mechanic!", it's just all kinda whatever for me. An infinite treadmill of the same thing over and over with no real point. And it is literally the same 8 or whatever SC-ing, auto pilot, 10 min runs with no strategic depth required or forethought.
I don't really push myself into Fractals/Ascended gear. Just take whatever I can get. Meh.
