That’s kinda where I was trying to get to with the slippery slope bit.
True, but if they don’t change they will complain anyway. And if you change back they will as well. No matter if it’s a slippery slope or a hard climb.
And new players are not cheesing bosses. And ‘new players’ include players playing a new character type who have not/do not go online to sniff everyone else’s ass to see what they are building. They are experimenters who value experimentation as part of the enjoyment of the game and cheesing bosses simply isn’t something they would think to do.
So I’m feeling foolish that I didn’t realize that I am very biased in this conversation because I’ve just described me, and I hate this mechanic. Amusingly enough (to me) is that this wasn’t something that bothered me the first time through because I didn’t even understand the skill system. Seemed more like, ‘wow, that’s a nice-to-have’, rather than a, ‘your build isn’t going to actually work or be worth anything prior to understanding how this system works and how to make your skills work together’.
So now it’s every play though the lower levels where I don’t actually have a plan for a character in advance, I’m just trying different things to see what I like.
Bothers me quite a bit, actually.
