I feel like this problem is being turned into another “hurrdurr casualsh” just because it’s the raid masteries that are blocking players xp gains. This whole thing could have been avoided if we all already had the option to use the spirit shard mastery track in the first place.
Gaining xp in MMOs is such a basic thing that should not be a reward from raiding, so seeing all this “why not just do a raid? it’s not that hard” talk is annoying because while it’s true it’s not that big of an obstacle, it really shouldn’t have been there to begin with.
