DarjeloSalas isn't wrong though. What you're suggesting is not in fact a QoL update - it's an added feature that doesn't really affect much at all. I think it would be neat - but it would not change anything about the game that would make anything easier for anyone.
And so you know - the only reason more people don't swap mods for particular events is because it's so time consuming and inconvenient to do it UNLESS you're paying extra money to a third party for an interface that makes it easy. It's not just the hyper competitive folks that do that - it's anyone that's looking for an ideal outcome for a given encounter in the game. MOST of the people that play this game compete at some aspect of this game - either GAC, TW, TB, Raiding, or whatever. The idea that only a small portion of players are competitive is either uninformed or willfully blind to the game at large and the community that plays it.
Again, to be clear - I don't think your idea is a bad one - but it's not a QoL feature. Regardless, there's no need to be snarky about it - it's fine if people disagree.
Hey sorry if I come off as snarky but you'd have to read the other replies DarjeloSalas made in order to understand why. I'm not claiming this is better than any other suggestion or that it needs to be put ahead of other suggestions that affect gameplay. I've repeated several times that this could be a fun suggestion. It's fair to have the gameplay suggestions over this one, but the problem I had was that DarjeloSalas was ruling out the suggestion altogether instead of allowing both gameplay and QoL suggestions to co-exist. Instead simply stating that it isn't needed when it could be entertained as an idea. I also categorize it as QoL because I consider the PC Client's high framerate and the portrait update as QoL changes too. They don't change gameplay, but what else would we call them?
I also never claimed players aren't competitive, I claimed that the number of players that use mod 'load-outs' is minimal. There are plenty of competitive players, I myself am one! The thing is most people simply don't use mod loadouts. I've only ever used them in order to beat journey guide events without zetas. And if you're using them for mods and such, chances are you are higher up in the game than many others.
Also, the reason I brought up HotUtils was because DarjeloSalas claimed that comprehensive in-game chats weren't needed because we had Discord, but my point was that it was inconvenient to download a third-party app in order to do something you should be able to do in-game. Then he claimed that HotUtils wasn't convenient because it was a paid service. Then I replied that's hypocritical because he told others to download Discord even if it was inconvenient for them but was not willing to download HotUtils, and drew the line at what was inconvenient for him. Then he claimed it wasn't about the money and it was because it actually affected gameplay. Then I argued it would still apply because it was a third party tool that could be used as a substitute for an in-game feature. I wasn't claiming features that HotUtils shares with the suggestions he made be ruled out, I only used it as a means to point out the hypocrisy.
