I don't want positionals to go away, because I don't want every fight to be Eden Leviathan. I don't want to find a place next to the mob and just sit still while mash button efficiently, ESPECIALLY with how SE can't seem to figure out what it is they even want the job's kit to be. The last thing Monk needs is to be made even more boring while still wrestling with mechanical issues that stem all the way back to 2.0.

The devs continued insistence on stripping away OGCD buttons because of "button bloat" despite keeping garbage like Tornado Kick as is, or giving us more garbage like Anatman and Six Sided Star, and their overreactions to people not playing the job "as intended" while working within the systems they have provided us, suggests to me that removing positionals from the job would not actually fix anything.

I would rather they remove True North entirely. Positionals are not that difficult even for someone of middling ability to accomplish if they actually put some effort into playing well. I understand that some encounters can make them considerably harder than others, but I don't believe for one second that the solution is to completely scrap positionals for that alone. Some jobs have it easier than others on certain encounters, and that is okay.

The job is already underplayed as is despite the considerable effort SE has expended into making it easier for players to accomplish the very minimum the job is capable of. Making it even easier will not actually address core problems with the job's kit as is. Unfortunately, because the devs have shown zero willingness to listen to the people who have been playing the job for some time, they are more likely to aim for people who have shown no interest in playing the job to begin with in the next round of "fixes."
