I do think there is a place for outdoor content to have an expansion-locked achievement like Veilstrider. I think there is merit to that stance. I will look back on my Veilstrider journey (and trust me I’ve done it all beyond Veilstrider too) with a similar fondness to my CEs and KSMs and keystone portals.
However, I don’t think that invalidates Abom Factory RNG issues. I agree that the Chordy requirement for weeklies is extremely disproportionate with the other 3 covenants and probably warrants a little protection. It took me awhile back when I did it, in the 9.1.5 era. The other 3 are more-or-less guaranteed in a few weeks, but not Chordy’s weeklies.
