It's amazing how fast this problem is growing. Now you have a collection of players who have managed to win, but are now exhausted by the effort and ridiculous busywork and are either boycotting or going back to far more enjoyable content. Slowly the pool of players doing the DE meta becomes only those who haven't gotten lucky with the RNG and are just growing more frustrated.
So silly. Considering the mountain of other map wide metas that are fun, rewarding, and tuned/scale properly, it's a bit bewildering we're encountering this issue in the third expansion. Who was the focus group for this? Who was the testing crew?
