Should they remove positionals at this point?

"Its own thing"... that gets toned down almost every patch where melee DPS get adjustments.
If it was such an objectively good gameplay mechanic, SE wouldn't rebalance it all the time to minimize its impact so much.

They only rebalance it because the average player is so abysmal that unless you literally press the buttons from them, you won't get any decent performance that SE expects you to do.

Why is everyone always so down on "the average player"? You realize that the vast majority of all players are mostly average, right? The super players (and also the really terrible ones) are a pretty small minority. If average players can't do or don't like something, it's probably poorly designed.

In this case "average" means the majority, the most common. Not average performance. That's why everyone is always so down on the average player. Reaching lvl 70 and not knowing the basics of your job happens frequently and doesn't need "super" performance for it.

If anything, the poor design is in dungeons being easy enough that those players can be carried to cap without learning how to play decently.

If you are terrible at this game you are borderline afk or RPing in the chat while fighting. The average player seems like they spam 1-2-3 while watching netflix. As soon as something asks more than that, you see multitudes of threads on here saying "X is poorly designed" "X is too hard" and now it's "positionals should be removed". Yes, this expansion has been rough on melee DPS as a whole. Has that stopped good melee DPS players from performing? No. They adapted, they adjusted, they learned. The average player didn't because it wants to watch netflix and press 1-2-3.
