I'm kind of surprised people are actively arguing against loot in this post. I'm not really going to talk about trials as if it's some sort of equivalent (because it's obviously not and whether it's easier or harder is purely subjective). I think it's crazy that some players here are actively arguing for reducing their chances at loot. In my mind, guaranteeing an adept for every completion helps everyone and hinders no one, so why wouldn't you want that? If you further account for the fact that you are likely chasing a specific roll for optimization, the idea that you'd want to make that grind worse blows my mind.
