    But what I’m saying is that there is plenty of missions there if you don’t want the stressful missions. Cosmic gives you a massive range of missions to do. Of course if you seek out the hard missions then you’ll get the hard missions

    I for one like that cosmic tried to challenge you in different ways but still has plenty of easier options. I get not liking the stressful missions and it’s totally fair but you don’t need those missions for the relic and if you want the Omni gold you can outscale it next patch. But it is fair to say some maybe went a bit too far

    Which is different to healers because healers are 4 shades of the same garbage with no choice

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    FTFY ... you seem to think the argument is different. It isn't. It neither solves, nor even addresses the problems raised. Completionists like myself, need to have all the boxes checked, all the achievements done, all the sidequests done. But this content is a miserable slog to gold star them all. And even if I give up on being a completionist, all of the missions have stressful parts due to time constraints, materials constraints, where making one mistake may mean having to start all over. It isn't crafting or gathering. It's more like (imagine loud, manly, gravelly voice announcing a monster truck rally) XTREME SQUID GAMES CRAFTING!

    Perfect example just now ... needed to catch 18 fish in certain time limit. I accidentally missed my Chum macro before casting, had to stop, chum, and recast ... failed gold because of that one mistake. And god forbid rng gives you a !!! instead of the easy to reel in ! fish. Get too many !!! and you fail the gold. Every single mission has a time limit, there is no avoiding those. That's not fun, that's button mashing and stressful.
