    The point I was trying to make is more about them giving all these benefits but only to a select group of players. And I will hammer that point over and over again. If you give it to one, then you need to make it AS EQUALLY FAIR to all. The cracked cluster or w/e should just be a randomized drop to anyone who participated.
    Doing that is pointless. As many have explained countless times before, the Cracked Cluster reward is intended to help relieve queue times. Period. Giving it as a random award does not accomplish this; giving it to the role that is currently bottlenecking the queue times does. Your complaints therefore have absolutely no merit, as your objective (equality for all) is in no way related to the intended purpose of the mechanic.

    To illustrate just how absurd your position is, I'll apply it to something else: crafters shouldn't get a monopoly on making items or furniture. Why should someone be penalized for playing combat classes rather than DoH classes? They're putting equal time into the same game, so why shouldn't they get the same rewards?

    The only valid criticism of the Adventurer in Need bonus stems from the fact that it is tantamount to bribery, and as such has a tendency to mask underlying problems that SE is too lazy / incompetent to fix. Whining about fairness is pointless and wrongheaded.

    Yep, my criticism is just that tanking is boring in this game outside optimizing your DPS and the bonus is just a carrot that masks this problem.
