Mastery Rank Lock for Main Story Reintroduced in Dante Unbound

[FashionHunter]

Using a quote from the Update 35: Whispers in the Walls update notes:

"To that end, we have removed Mastery Rank from the Main Quest Path, which includes Junctions."

In this update, by adding visiting Maroo to the Phobos junction, you have reintroduced a Mastery Rank lock into the Main Quest Path. Maroo's Bazaar is MR1 Locked.

This change directly contradicts the previously explicitly stated goals.

I agree.

This is very counter intuitive for new players.

And new players arent active on the forums or the game. They just become overwhelmed and lost.

MR locks should not exist for progress in the main story line of the game.

Forcing a clear sequence was good, and alternate start with Duviri also. 

Not removing those locks completly ..  is clearly a mistake that must be fixed.

This really seems like a troll thread to me. MR 1 is not something that a person shouldn't be, by the time they get to the node. If they aren't then it's probably a good thing to force them to take note of the MR mechanic at least once.
