Why do people want trash?

[Alex_Lenderson]

Over and over I hear people complaining that they want less boss fights and more 'real raids' for endgame content. My question is... why do you want to kill trash mobs? That seems utterly dull to me. Get to the meat of the fight instead of wasting time in trivial fights. Can someone help explain?

Because just having a single boss and nothing else is commonly called a trial in this game, NOT a raid.

If the trash yields xp, there'd be a nice way to level right there. Also, just cutting all but the boss would mean little running through the beautifully designes surroundings. We could all just fight primals then. :/ But I don't mind giving the trash some more flare. Make them somehow more interesting.

There are many instances in games with raids that have trash mobs that require a decent amount of thinking to clear through, making the encounter comparable to a mini boss of sorts. That's the type of trash people are asking for.

EXAMPLE: the Atomos in Labyrinth of the Ancients (and a lesser extent the World of Darkness)

Because it adds variety to the dungeon. The more variety the better in my view.

Atomos is more what people consider a mini-boss than trash, hell if it was WoW it would likely be considered a raid boss if they buffed it a little.

I'd love some trashless content where it was just you and a bunch of bosses. But I'll be the first to admit I actually enjoy boss rush type style modes in various games.

It is as they say grasshopper if all we're getting is straight boss fights it gets dull quickly people like a challenge it's often better to...start with the appetizers and work your way up to the main course or "meat of the fight" if boss fights is what you want go do primal raids.

When I hear the word "raid" I don't think of a single room with a single boss monster and that's it. I think sprawling environments with the forces of whoever we're after all coming at us to defend their lair.
