You're delusional if you think picto's existence is driving away players in any notable degree. The vast majority of players don't do content where balance matters, haven't noticed/can't notice picto's strength as a job, or only hear of the issue through the grapevine. This discourse in this thread is the minority of the minority talking to each other about a problem that is most present in content said minority, and, in the case of fru, a minority of the minority, do.

If anything, Picto is keeping casuals playing because it's fun, easy to pick up, and "my raid friend said it was good!" Evidence being the extremely high play rate in casual content.

Unironically thinking picto is driving away players, in any significant way, is a go touch grass moment.
