What's the Benefit to Finishing CT Once You Loot Your Item.

[Archona]

Nothing fun about watching tanks let Iron Giants cleave the raid/comets. Nothing fun about people struggling to match colors and stand still on Atomos. Nothing fun about seeing people tunnel vision bosses and let adds run rampant. The encounters themselves are somewhat fun, if you have a decent party. Thing is, decent players don't have reasons to repeat CT runs after they've gotten their loot. Instead you get tanks who don't know to face cleaving enemies away, you get healers who refuse to use Cleric Stance and you get DPS who will tunnel vision and let your healers die in Iron Claws.

I'm deeply saddened by the wall of text explanations for CT fights, it seems like players these days cannot use their brains to solve puzzles anymore and instead must read a guide and then repeat said actions. They can't even take the initiative to watch a video first if they want to be spoiled. At some point, are you even playing the game, or are you just following directions from a manual? IMO, either you should go into the fights completely blind and use your gaming experience and your wits to survive, or you should watch a video, read a guide before going in. Anything in between leads to disaster and means you're basically just getting carried through as a lemming.

Running CT more than I have to just leads to general depression and hopelessness, which is the opposite of fun.
