Why do people want trash?

[Seryl199]

Make the trash interact with the boss in some way? Killing X will change Y mechanic with the boss.

There are a lot of things they can do to make the raids more interesting. For me, at least, making it a one and done beeline to the boss does not make for an interesting "raid."

Just like in Turn 2, when you have to choose which nodes to kill, deciding what buffs the boss gets and what moves ADS will use throughout the battle. It was great to be able to choose and plan ahead to best suit the group based on the party's composition (if you managed to find a group to actually fight ADS head on).
