If I need to rely on third party sites to figure out the build I need then that is worse. In my view if the game build system is complicated enough that you cant intuitively figure out what you need for a reliable build in the game itself without having to resort to google then the game is broken.
Hey, I liked your response, as it is a perfect argument to my note on crafting. How would you feel if they added customization, but also added a default automatic build? This would allow people to customize if they wish, or they could hit a tickbox that automatically fills in the traits as they level for a build chosen by the development team?

Alternatively, the default build could be crowd-sourced. As in, it defaults to what the majority of players are using. So if people discovered a good build, shared it online, most people copied it - then new players would automatically get that build if they opted for the default.
