    Gonna be honest: The problem with the REX DPS check is that it requires every DPS to be playing their job correctly unless the DPS are significantly overgeared, and none of the content before it is helping DPS get practice in playing their job correctly any more. The extreme opacity of how damage mechanics work in the game (and MMOs in general) isn't helping them learn, either.

    I pin this strictly on the game. When older, puggable fights were relevant, they still placed an impetus on players to learn and perform their way up. Now everyone is thrown into the deep end of the pool with some cute looking i90 floaties and told to swim - with absolutely no preparation on anything but how to doggy-paddle.

    Note that this is different from "Waaah those casuals have my gear!". It's more "S-E isn't preparing any new players for any of their insanely hard content now."

    We need a much better way of metering out content difficulty that isn't just "higher ilvl req = harder fight at that ilvl" now, because the item levels aren't going to stop inflating any time soon.
