Yeah, no. I'm with everyone else who's given up on this meta - it's not that it's hard, because hard can be fun! But it's awful to spend 2+ hours with a perfect squad that did everything right... only to recieve bupkis at the end because one person screwed it up, or the boss decided to spam the bubble/dash combo roughly ten times in a row (and no, that's not an exaggeration! I counted!). Plus, in most other "hard" content, if you fail - you can charge right back into it once you're ready. Here? Go wait for an hour, and grind up your stupid participation badge all over again, just so you can earn the chance to find out if the boss hates you today. Hard can be fun when you go into it with a team of likeminded people, knowing you'll need to practice to succeed. But an open-world, free-for-all meta that is one half of the expansion (and ten-year story arc!)'s ending is not a place for this kind of hard.

Given it's hit several "big name" (for a given value in their respective fields) game journalists already, I don't think they'll be able to ignore the skrittstorm forever.

Logging in for once to add my feedback to the growing pile - in theory, it's not as bad as some I've seen, but I still find anything of this caliber to be extremely predatory on customers. Y'all already knew that cosmetics are endgame here - hiding maybe ten "good" skins behind twenty "meh" skins in a RNG bonanza is ridiculous on it's own, but at the same time as a greater kittenstorm over lootboxes happened? What were y'all thinking?
