It's interesting, everyone I ride with has a dropper but we stop enough times to easily be able to raise/lower a seat. The only real climbing I do is at the end of a downhill section and fairly short lived or a location where you can't shuttle so you grind to the top (or push lol) and then bomb down. Do we need droppers? probably not.
That being said we are all still wearing full face helmets on the shore. When we visit other trail systems that are more mellow the open face comes out for a visit.
