SE needs to do 1 of 2 things.

Yank everyone's weaps that exploited garuda.

OR

Make the garuda weapons you can obtain now way better than the previous ones.


Because the way it is now, garuda is in fact ruined considering 3/4 of everyone able to do endgame content has all the weaps from expoiting/cheating so there's no reason for people to do it, learn new strategies, make pickup parties for casuals, etc.
