Changes could be more interesting but such things as random aggro would not be fun at all. The challenge is to find strategies that work for a particular boss. The essence of this is predictability, randomness just causes problems. |

I don't find that fun. An example of the run I had fun on was when we did DC, and he kept switching between a few targets. I at least had to pay attention and actually be part of the action. I welcome these changes. I do, however, feel for fleet commanders, who will probably be spending a lot more money in GG. |

The essence of this is predictability, randomness just causes problems. I'm not sure about other people, but randomness adds a certain replay value to a game for me. If I can figure out one thing that will always, 100% work against a boss, a game looses it's interest to me. |

Add the increased RoF to that and Princess becomes a bucket'o'fun to do. |
