Getting full offence 5 Mastery on 4 squadron members took a lot of time and rng but was a worthwhile investment for leveling a lot of alt classes. You could go through dungeons like Aurum Vale or Sohm Ahl in 10-12 minutes with no queues.

"Some form of compensation" is vague and very unlikely to be enough for anyone who fully invested in their squad, either for leveling alt classes or for getting 8 members of their favorite race fully glammed. The fact that Squadron Mastery traits exist meant they intended for us to build and run a lot with them and use them as an alternate leveling path. They can't just add a feature, let players put in all the time and investment, then randomly delete it.
I agree. One of the main reasons that I like squadrons is they can go through a mob very quickly, they use AOEs. Trusts...it will take me 30-40 mins to go through dungeons. They don't use AOEs.
