So are you voting for 2 dimensional dragons then? ;) Even if the
dragon lives in a small cave, explorers will moan that they can't
safely walk around it.

More fundamentally, if you have a game predicated on advancement, I
don't see how you can offer all content to people who opt out of
that advancement.  Its just fundamentally incompatible. Aren't we
just rehashing the thread a few months past where we had similar
arguments for & against ghost modes?
