The devs are the ones making this game. The choices we are given are ultimately decided by them. We can force their hand as was done with Pathfinder to keep a system we had no desire to lose. But even in that situation they didn’t cave to the demands of the angry masses. They compromise. Which is why there isn’t a lady sitting on a gryphon in storm shield selling flying to this day. You have to earn it. You don’t want the sky worms or aerial robots but the designers do. They want a sense of danger in this game. So they continue to compromise. Hovering mid air in uldum for ten minutes afk won’t kill you but you will come back to a debuff that makes flying impractical for a few minutes. It’s not a defense of the decisions. It’s an acceptance of reality which too many seem unable to do in these posts.
