Lets be realistic, how many people are really abiding by the honor system with encounters requiring checks so that they aren't just saying and reloading every other second till it goes their way. It really makes the game a bit more of a grind than it has to be restarting every few minutes. I feel like a straight stat check (you either have it or you don't) or a faster save and load feature would greatly improve the playability of the game. Yes, I realize this may make some people cringe but does rolling a virtual dice really do it for anyone? At the very least just make the dice rolls optional (like a classic game mode) along with a straight stat check. I feel improving the situation from where it stands now would lead to a far more enjoyable and accessible experience.
I mean they could.
I don't think they should and if they removed a pretty core mechanic of the D&D 5th edition ruleset, that they've marketed the game on being based on, I'd expect them to also do a refund campaign because I'd probably want my money back and wait to see what other basic premises they might put on the chopping block before paying for the game.
Maybe you just need to accept that sometimes you can't succeed at everything in a game and "roll with the punches?"
