So I was watching this video from Narc and scrolled down to the comment section. Most everyone was agreeing with him and I was just curious if this is due to his fan base being what they are or if these kind of opinions actually are held by the community. Would love to sew a dialogue around this.

While we know one of the concerns in this video is "will all players know to go to their options to turn down spell effects," we hope that as long as the starting value isn't turned to maximum, this won't be a problem for most players. We believe that having the options to turn things like this up, down, or off will be something that helps more players enjoy the game in the way that they want to.
We spoke briefly about our stance on scaling things like this up, down, and off in the January 2023 Development Update Livestream (timestamp to the conversation here).
