Where is the interesting part of the new raid?

It’s just another thing to have to do.

Is it? This is not in addition to past raids. It's replacing a past raid. It's not "another" thing to do. The number of things stays the same, and even goes down a bit given that it's 8 attempts in 6 days instead of 5 attempts in 3.

I mean, I'm not contesting your judgement that this isn't fun for you. I just don't see how this is more work. It's arguably less.
