Well I’m stating you’re wrong and your reasoning is a bit bonkers.
Incursions killed normal leveling isn’t accurate. Like you’re using Stockades as an example and Stockades is essentially just as bad as incursions.
Is chain running Stockades “normal” leveling? People complained about Stockades and SM spam in P2.
What are you expecting for it to be “normal” leveling?
Especially when the 25 to 35 dungeon grind outside of SM is pretty sparse even in classic. RFK for the first boss then reset was vanilla.
