Well, it’s not. It’s a problem IO created when they showed they had a means to make ETs available to play at will, but decided to make it an obstacle course instead.
Pardon the Jerry Seinfeld impression here, but who are these people? I’m neither the only, nor even the first one to have issue with this, just in this latest round of discussion on the matter, so whoever may have moved on from the issue, good on them, but they aren’t the only ones with opinions on the matter.
Then why are you continuing with it?
Nice try, but you’re missing the point. Nobody is whining about Arcade with any intent to get IO to change it; merely to express how Arcade’s existence doesn’t negate or replace the desire to have the individual ETs available to play at any time, just like any other mission in the game. They can do it, they should do it, and the closest thing they gave us helped tide us over for a while, but now it just makes the desire for the real thing stand out more. Perhaps you are satisfied with what we’ve got and have moved on; others have not.
