After so many pages I'm still struggling to understand what the solution to this "problem" would be. Complaining about mechanics? Every game has mechanics. Always did since the era of arcades. You would play a level over and over again until you became familiar with enemy positions, the tactics of the boss, the layout of the maps. Eventually you became good at the game and beat it. That's what a game is.

I've played on raids with no mechanics on old MMOs and it was so boring. I would just park my healer in a corner and click on names to heal. I would park my DPS on the feet of some giant boss and go 123, 123 for 10 min. Is this OP's answer to the "problem"?
