Or instead of kicking people out just because they didnt have the covenant you want, you could just decide not be a jerk and have fun with the game and enjoy mixing it up with new mechanics. This game isnt a job where you need to make everything optimized and streamlined and get the same thing done over and over. It is supposed to be fun so make the choice to play it as a game and take it slow and enjoy yourself. If you are getting stressed out about doing it so fast and everything then you have the wrong mindset about a GAME or are playing with others who do. Who cares about those elitists, lets have fun and enjoy this fun world of fantasy and lore and beauty.
Why would "poopsocking elitists" want to streamline the game? If raiding is as braindead easy as you're implying how would anyone be a "poopsocking elitist"? Every feature you've mentioned has been directly to the benefit of casual players, it has nothing to do with the "1%". You are either trolling or unhinged.
