No offence to OP, but.... why do you have to great at every facet of the game? Seems like a frivolous complaint.
I'm a laser-focused player. It's taken me a long time to be able to contribute to TW like my other guildmates, to do as much damage in the raids. My guildmates who used the Maximize-my-GP strategy have been wrecking for a lot longer than I have. Now, Grand Arena comes up and I'm doing really well (I took 2nd in two and 1st in one) and they're having mixed results.
Like Kyno said, it isn't a punishment to you and other players with bloated rosters. It's just a side-effect of a new dynamic in the game. Not every aspect of this game needs to be catered to you and not everything needs to be convenient. Fairness and convenience are not synonymous.
If you want convenience, you can buy it from EA.
