Flanking has always annoyed me. Let's not talk about skill floor here please. Oftentimes it's impossible to determine where the boss's head or eyes are, either because it's an ehm very unique creature, or because it does a long spinning attack. Also there are times when you have to stack on people that don't flank or god forgive tank something yourself. It's not a fun mechanic, it never was.
I think over time they'll probably rework the existing flanking traits as well.
edit: I don't agree with the argument that you HAVE TO do something for that 15% extra damage. Pve game balancing always assumed you were flanking 100% of the time anyway, since it was always factored in, might as well make it real too.
The way I see it mini expansions will be similar to past living world episodes in every way, just we need to pay a price upfront & there won't be more freebie maps.
If Anet comes up with some cool expansion defining feature, I think they may make another "big" expansion yet. (I would take a long wait over useless, super forced features like the Jade Bot)
But, I can’t go see AI play a guitar, bass, drums, violin, cello, etc live. That will always require people. Hence the ‘live’ part.
I think that thinking could be a bit naive, it may not be completely wrong, but being able to create an AI controlled robot to play any of those instruments like a virtuoso in a humanely imperfect way is not just a possibility, but it's probable.
To me with old.reddit & Apollo nothing much has changed until now. As for new Reddit, I used to think it's okay if they can monetize some things without affecting me, though I did know the good times will end someday.
I think Reddit is an outlier in the sense that until now it has been a good service with fairly minor flaws.
FB is totally garbage and had been that for many years now and yet people are not seeking alternatives, maybe because that kind of social media is not that interesting anymore to the types that would care.
Honestly Lemmy is much better than I thought it would be. My main problem is the lack of some niche communities that are on Reddit. For example as a GW2 player I get all my news about game updates & store discounts etc from the GW2 subreddit, but I don't see Lemmy taking that over anytime soon, if ever. Maybe I'll need to use a Reddit scraper for that, if I want to completely abandon the platform.
What I dislike about Reddit is the system of incentivizing karma farming. This leads to unhealthy posting behaviors that always bugged me. So far to me it seems Lemmy does not have that, so it's a huge win.

Safari mobile is a great browser, but it does not support desktop! extensions, just mobile ones from Apple's store.
