You seem to care quite a lot considering how much you show up in these threads about positionals arguing about how useless they are for you.

You and anyone saying this have been asked several times to show proof of how easy it is to move a centimeter to the left or right in fights where you actually have to work for them (e. g. TOP, P11S, P12S, EX6, etc.), yet you never did. You know very well that they are not that simple when it comes to hitting them all in fights where they are more demanding.

Whether they should be more rewarding or not or if there should be more fights challenging melee is an entirely different issue.

And positionals add an extra layer of optimization as you learn a new fight and get used to the mechanics. Hopefully you will finally understand this before coming back to say how useless they are.

The point is that if you remove them, you gain absolutely nothing in return and instead melee jobs become more boring (you will just never move outside of mechanics), unless for some reason SE made our rotations way more involved in 7.0 and/or provided us with more interesting uptime options.

Since history and experience say that they tend not to compensate for what it's taken, this is one of the main reasons why there's so many people against removing positionals.
