Same with the Primals, Because we do not need to waste 2/3rds of our time in the raid clearing trash and running back after wipes, it just feels good when you finally get the win.

Thats my take on it. I'd rather we didnt have Echo, though i understand why they did it.
The Raiding here is damnably accessible. Again, moreso than any other MMO I've played in recent years.
