Anyone remember the Mr Happy Garuda EX strat everyone used in 2.1/2.2 that was so melee unfriendly parties would refuse to allow any in? There were other strats out there, but everyone in NA and EU used this one because Mr Happy showed it off.

And it made getting your weekly Primals done as a melee very hard, unless you had a ranged or healer geared enough for Garuda EX.

That's the kind of thing that would happen with more varied gear. And it happens in all MP games; a set is found that is superior in some way (even if its just because a popular streamer prefers it) and everyone needs to use it or get kicked. Same thing with skill trees and the like.

Not even hard to see it with the gear we have now either...
