Astragalos

Seize and Shatter don't require thinking and teamwork? This is where the rest of your argument falls apart. These modes are lively and active. Astra is just a bad mode.

"Live and active" with only one party per team.

This isn't active, this is just the lesser of two evils.

They require LESS thinking though since there are giant markers (Ice, tomes) telling you where to go.

Active was when Seal Rock first came out and there was an actual community in it with people whom you recognized by name.
