Why are there still people defending this obviously terrible system and actually blaming players just wanting to enjoy content that's part of the game they're paying a sub for? How is it even a thing that it's somehow someone's fault that they're being made to feel anxious, bummed out or driven to physical harm for trying to access something that should technically have been made available to everyone from the get go?

Just because you don't care about a piece of content doesn't make it less relevant or worth trying to get. No, it's not their fault for being driven to try despite the pain and loss of sleep. It's the system that's flawed for even making that their only option to access the content they want in the first place.

If hardcore endgame content was locked behind a mechanic half as flawed as this, there would be outrage. Let's not belittle others' anger just because tge content doesn't interest us specifically. It's selfish and beside the point.
