We are seeing how some of the game designers of the game have a deeply flawed understanding of their own game, and then double down on their decisions because they lack the creativity or courage to do something else. The "its not for everyone" argument loses its weight when considering all of that imho.
It's perfectly valid to not like how something changed and state that, but that's not what the OP is saying. The OP doesn't even do raids. The OP is looking at raiding, saying it's just a memory game that could be botted, and basically going why do you do it. So raiders in the thread explained what can be enjoyable about it. People can certainly say they don't enjoy that and why and ask SE to adjust things. And SE can either listen or continue on their course. Things change and sometimes we just have to deal with that. I lost my ARR and HW style relic questlines that I loved doing when they started getting tied to field content. I stopped doing relics as much because of it. It sucks, and I still give feedback about it to SE. I'll probably never get that back. I don't go screaming at people that like field content that they ruined relics for me, even thought they LOVE to blame anyone who doesn't like field content for why we didn't get it for an expansion. I blame SE and their decisions since they are the ones in control of that.
