Is the New Design that Skill Doesn't Matter?

You need skills for coil 6-9. SE is just trying to appeal to as many players (casual and hardcore) as possible. There's something in it for everyone. Atma quests and coil are both optional so players do get a choice of what they want to do. If you make everything super challenging, then all the casual players are gonna cry about why the game is so hard.

Giving players a choice of "do this easy thing a billion times and maybe the random number generator will decide to give you your reward" isn't less challenging. It's stupendously boring
