This is an MMO, meaning there's literally hundreds of other role-players to consider for potential interaction. No role-player is deserving of being given the right to claim that their character is somehow much more powerful than everyone else's and has numerous feats reserved for faceless/nameless heroes in the canon lore under their own belt.
Sure, they can be revived but bringing them back is a lengthy and usually quite a costly ritual for their worshippers and servants. Their emergence is seemingly quite rare judging by the main story. It's perfectly possible to tell a compelling story and gain vengeance on a 'big bad' without being the hero of the hour.
This down to a t. I don't like the idea of a group of ten or even twenty being terribly elite and putting down a beast with that miniscule of a force. Judging from the in-game lore, primals being summoned and appearing is a very serious issue and not a common one. If they were that easy to dispatch then no-one would care as much as to give them that much more recognition than a large bandit, pirate or beastman raid.
I don't agree with the "they can be re-summoned" excuse either. Its beginning to sound like these oh-so terrifying primals are being treated with the same regard as city rodents or something that come around every few days or weeks.
