    And why is it our business how they do it? If they want to take two hours to kill a boss isn't it their prerogative? You're making a non argument. People will still bring as many dps that they can simply to shorten the time between starting and collecting their loot.

    Two reasons.

    It makes the DPS role entirely irrelevant. While yes, people will still want faster kills. You don't actually need them anymore. Therefore, you have one role that actually serves zero necessity, which is bad design. The second is it reduces the accomplishment of each fight. There's a reason no one really cares about 24 mans, for example. They're a war of attrition. Savage would become the exact same, especially as worse players would be demanding all tank/healer parties to carry themselves to a clear they really have no business getting. Learn the mechanics.
