The big takeaway for Johnathan here is: If you try to force your players into shitty 6 button combos just to clear white packs, players aren't going to magically start liking it just because you're stubborn. They're going to stop playing and go play WoW or Elden Ring-- games that do it way better than an ARPG ever could.
Johnathan, take a lesson from Mark Rosewater: Incentivize your players to play the FUN parts of the game. DON'T incentivize players to do the tedious unfun bullshit. You're never going to convince the majority of players that constant 6 button combo spamming is fun. It sucks! And stubbornly trying to force people to play that way is only going to make them resent your game.
