As a Monk main since early Shadowbringers, and having played it quite a bit throughout Stormblood, I don't like positionals and I'm glad they're mostly gone. They've been on auto-pilot for me for a long time and I never find them "fun," I only feel irritated by them when a boss suddenly turns to use a mechanic, a tank turns the boss randomly, or there's an exceptionally long mechanic that denies access to flank/rear and I don't have access to TN due to another mechanic etc. I understand that some people find them challenging (or simply like them), but for me, they're just an occasional annoyance beyond my control.

Also, some of the posts in this thread are really toxic toward other players; it's okay to like something, but it's not okay to attack other people for not liking the same thing.
