Sanctum being mandatory...

I'm also really not a fan of Sanctum being a part of the game the way it is because I also hate how Honor works, and it'd be nice if I could just skip any & all Sanctum content without being gimped for it.

The worst cancer is that it rewards a bunch of items at the end, encouraging players to go back to town. Then town resets the instance before the quest is complete.

I went through that exact experience, then failed the next 4 attempts. I'm now taking a break from the game.
