I'm saying it's sad that we're resorting to asking SE to tweak this current version, so that it somewhat feels like it did before. Instead of SE recognizing that the majority of monks want the timers back.

The monk thread on the japenese side has been much more active than over here. Most of the responses are prefaced with "I like the EW version better, but can you at least change it to 1-1-2..."

That should be a clear sign to them that they should bring the timers back. It's kinda ridiculous that they won't. If this was an attempt at a quality of life change that was meant to play the same, but all the feedback they recieve says the jobs less flexible, less intuitive, and less fun... just change it back?
