Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

Oh, I am not disagreeing there at all. I am disagreeing that the fight design choice is the core of the problem, and that fixing that would magically fix everything else. The person I was quoting said there was no architectural problem, and that's simply not true.

I would rather fight (as much as one can "fight" for something in a game) to get the core issue fixed, than try and rework the design of fights already in the game to hide one aspect of an overall problem.

Double sigh.
How can I make you understand that I am NOT suggesting reworking the fights already in the game? Periods again? :P
