The whole point about the fight was to stay alive and kill the boss. Resources were given to the players, and they used it. The bonus chest, was just that, a bonus, for meeting certain conditions in the fight. It wasn't something that was required of the player(s) to kill the boss and move on to the next area. And yes I understand you can kill the boss without using the platform, I've done it myself with my clanmates. But as I've stated before it is one of many ways to defeat the Templar, just like the pillar use to be. So yes, I still believe that using the pillar was fine. At this point let's just agree to disagree and move on.
