It wasn’t required really. It isn’t something you need and I tend to agree that those essences shouldn’t be restricted to being obtained this expansion. Then you can just work on this until you start hating to do it and then stop until you feel like working on it again.
People working on RNG mounts for years and years, RNG and cosmetics or collectibles isn’t anything new and I actually think that kind of content benefits the game because people actually do find value in earning things that way.
It isn’t the making of a forum post that is the fussing bit, it is the continual updates OP is making and I really hope OP gets it soon because I can imagine them bumping up this thread for the next year if it takes them 100 or more.
OP actually expects the game to be changed for them and I think that is wrong - some people like RNG content and will hate those other parts. If one part is made easier for OP then the other parts should be made easier for other people.
