But that's exactly my point - no content at such length should be integrated into a duty. It doesn't matter how good it is, it's the integration itself that's badly designed.

So, no, these changes are not stupid.
These changes are tone deaf. It's possible that the queues won't be hurt as badly as we say they will be, but from a development standpoint, they did the single most intrusive, violent thing they could've done. Forcing your userbase to do anything when it comes to content is the #1 biggest no-no. I'm a software engineer. You only do that sort of thing if you want your users to not use your product. A lot of people in this thread already said they'll never bother again. You yourself said you don't see the point to going in there more than the one time. And from a developer viewpoint, that's the worst outcome regardless of how bad the queues will or won't be. Because it shows your users just how deep in the sand your head is as a developer, and leaves a roulette that will see a lot less usage besides. And when they created an entire new roulette and locked a shiny mount behind 2000 runs of it because they need people to run content, I don't think that's something they could afford, really.
