Why did they remove 8v8 feast?

I really enjoyed the occasional dip into 8v8 feast with a friend. I'm glad I got my Garo grind done when it was still in the game. 4v4 has a much more intense quality to it, and it's just not what I'm looking for.

8v8 is to 4v4 as story mode raids are to Savage. They wouldn't delete story mode and ostracize the players who want to see those storylines without the stress of heavy challenge in the name of being able to to make an extra couple of Savage bosses per tier, so I've never been able to understand why 8v8 had to go.

Casual PvP hasn't been any fun for me since Stormblood started. All that's left is a handful of massive chaotic 72s with ten buttons. There's nothing in between that's smaller and more focused without being stressful and intense.
