I managed to sabotage a garuda ex fight because I was a first timer the day before patch.
Broke my heart.

Meanwhile the rest of us are STILL stuck at Titan EX ...
I must be oldskool because I can't think of a challenge skipping because of diffyculty. Getting a skilled party together for it is like trying to find hey in a needle stack.
Did you know? Leviathan only drops i95 weapons but an item to upgrade them to 100 at a low chance? So what you just stated kind...proves her point that it should have been more difficult than it was. Also purposefully going in undergeared is called artificial difficulty, something you should never have to do.
Considering when this was released and how long people been playing and how long it takes to get even to basic i90, switching to i50 (if you even can) is just silly. In the end though, difficulty is subjective since there's people who find Mario games a challenge and people who find Dark Souls easy (they are easy games, getting instant gibbed isn't difficulty.)
I think you're struggling with the concept at hand here. The OP after trying 1 hour only reduced the boss down to 30%, that by no means is a victory or easy-mode. Therefore, what exactly is the point of creating a thread criticizing the fight's difficulty when the hardest part could be in the sub 30% area. Personally speaking, it took my guild in Everquest a little under a month to get an expansion boss down from around 10% to dead through a combination of tactics and gear farming. So, yeah, it seems a fairly easy concept to grasp that until you beat something you can't really comment fully on its difficulty?
Complaining when you didn't even beat the boss yet. You said you beat it if you have more time. But of coursed, if everyone have the time and the group, anything is possible. What I don't understand is that you are already complaining the fight is too easy when you only get it down to 30%. This is not even close to it being defeated. Take example Titan Ex, the Difficult only begin when his HP reach below 30%.
For a Primal that drop ilevel less then coil, you shouldn't expect much anyway.
