Understood. Other than irrelevant concerns and daft comments this seems to be a major valid concern, that ok but we don't want to go back to those times. Perhaps there are solutions to that and refinements over trashing the idea? However, there are some key differences and you pointed out several of your own yourself. It's a mode, an option, not a global change. There's all manner of weapon changes and new weapons since then. But again people gravitating to the meta is also still a kind of problem and inevitable. You could even have this a solo only activity or have another game mechanic which encourages more individual play but that would ruffle other feathers - you could never please everyone.
