Anyone else think Verminion could have been a mobile game instead?

A mini-game could have been a mobile game? Gee, who would have thought so.

People asked for more non-grindy non-serious content and here it is. I'm looking forward to beating the npc challenges and dueling my boyfriend once I have time for it. As long as most people give it a try, I don't think it's any more wasted development time than one-time quests, the sightseeing log or other mini-games. PvE group content will remain the backbone of the game, which keeps people subscribing. Look on the bright side: at least they didn't make it mandatory like WoW's Garrison Menu Adventures With New Breakable Ship Minions (or simply Garrison as most people know it). The rage would flood the GD is people had to do win minion battles to progress the story line and relic quest.

Definitely this. Everyone has different likes, which is why I think it sucks for people to call out killing the minigame without considering that some people find literally everything else in the patch except Thordan and the minigame to be a bore.

The recent trend seems to be to condemn everything a poster doesn't personally enjoy to be wasted development time or even harmful to the game. Prime example: "remove the hunt waaaaa!" It's like these people can't fathom other people might enjoy what they hate.
