your argument that it feels more "satisfying" doesn't pass the bs test for people who spend most of their time on this game actually in the zone
The physical action of having a monk/necro team deliver a dragon to zone entrance looked like a conveyor belt. Circle pushing vulak to interrupt his AE looked like a Mobius strip. There were no surprises, pleasant or unpleasant, and so it wasn't all that satisfying. Now, competing with the top guilds, win or lose, it doesn't feel like a predictable conveyor belt. Occasionally surprising the competition and even ourselves...that's the payoff im underdog guilds, not the pixel denials or server firsts but the sense of progress that comes from surpassing expectations. If you're spending most of your time unsatisfied in the same zone, than imo whatever you call BS on is questionable.

the following fraps says everything you need to know about how twisted of a view that is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY11...nel=TofatTofat

dagarn pop in the middle of a vulak pull that was dive bombed into the lava after a miraculous clean tag in hub

this is what makes the game worth playing, not leapfrogging 80+ man zergs

enjoy the fraps if you've never seen em, they don't get better than that

For every one of those there wee half a dozen vulaks circle pushed monotonously. Not against the idea of unrooted dragons, and that was fun to watch, but on average the ease of kills back then seemed far removed from what the original developers aspired to create. Vyemm in right cubby made its knockback virtually unnoticeable and the fight was like most every other. A menu to select from while monks and necros worked pulls and train outs.

Regardless of the immediate argument, rooted dragons makes the most sense from a D&D perspective whete dragons have a marked advantage in their lairs.

D&D 9e. No roleplaying at all, just dice rolls and updated character sheets. And instead of sitting around in a circle, everyone faces a wall and yells insults at each other.
