Will Maat make a comeback in ARR?

No.

There's no real reason to have arbitrary "rites of passage" like Maat. Most of those fights were extremely luck-based anyway. They're not a testament to your ability as a player, nor do they serve as much of a gear-check. Just a bottleneck that forces your LS to farm testimonies.

I dont think OP was specifically refering to the farming but rather the idea of the fight itself.

Obviously he didnt say at any point "No room for improvement".

I really think players need some solo battles every few levels to stop them from being total noobs to their class, specially higher ranks.

(I am really patient with players, but I wouldn't deny the convenience of not having to teach a Paladin he can raise people)

SE could really go all out and add in total ~1 hour worth of solo play content and little campaigns that get players up to pace over the progression of their class and deliver lore, class rewards at the same time - some real efficiency.

The only one that was random was Thf... which involved having to steal from him which was random. Everything else required you to know your jobs and what to do to outlive/beat him.

There is absolutely no reason to have everything in the game handed to you.

Again, I am not suggesting testimonial RNG.

I am suggesting a solo only test of skill to prove one is familiar enough with thier class/job to progress further.
