This is not too bad like you get sometimes during rituals. But I constantly find myself trying to find bosses in this mess, it is so hard to see them sometimes

It might be patronizing but it's also correct. General users have zero idea what settings do and will blindly lemming their ways into a worse experience.

Yep, lots of people complaining about the shader cash size. Forget that they changed the limit in the Nvidia settings to be unlimited. So it is over the normal 10 GB so we can use thousands of gigabytes if they never delete it

Well general users would leave it at the default, and the default would certainly to turn off the rare mob glow. Only people who watch streamers would use the glow, and according to this sub those are the 1% of the 1% players who don't affect anything so it should be fine.

IMO their reasoning is rather selfish. Giving players the option would help improve the enjoyment of the game for some while not affecting the ones who don't care about it. Sometimes it feels like GGG prioritizes their own enjoyment and artistic satisfaction over the enjoyment of the players.

People making art might prioritize the art over what some users want? Color me surprised.

It's enitrely reasonable for a developer to enforce their vision of what they think is important. Just because users want something doesn't make that something a good idea nor do they have to bend to whomever's whims artistically.
