Either way ur still cheating. P8 is a cheat. Even more so on ladder play.
U cant have a balanced race to 99 if half the players are running p8 and others not.
If all u want is p8 to up the difficulty. Then u would be fine if u dont get the XP or loot boost. Thats the only way to not throw the balance of ladder off.
Fyi no one is forcing u to play at prim times. Ur only gimping yourself by not being active and finding groups to play with. Weather thats via in game lobby or discord or any other media sites.
Thats a problem u have created for yourself. Its not being forced on u.
