Show me where I said that. They are not required for this content. It is for that reason I have all the mats I do sitting in my bags.
I’m coming from a place of doing basically what you say you want, I farmed up and eventually got my 1st uber on Eternal. You know, where there are no extra seasonal whispers, nobody around you to get extra debtor mats; no seasonal blessing(s) to help with mats, no groups-You can try but good luck, and mats cost billions of gold. After farming up 100’s of kills worth to finally get one I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
while the game should be more group finder friendly, it was always touted as a group play game. You outta give eternal a shot, you can ssf to your heart’s content, and best of all your ubers will always be there!
