    Which is incredibly silly, in my opinion. Even casual players get bored of "gather up + AoE = win".
    Personally, I'd rather take this than have more instances of groups getting stuck on things like Atomos.

    If you're not good enough to get past something...that's...usually how MMORPGs were. Teamwork and skill is (was) important and if you don't have it do you truly deserve to progress?

    -Tank on adds having difficulty controling adds or even worst died? The tank on Atomos needs to get the fffff off Atomos, but no, the OT stays on Atomos regardless of whats happening with adds and contune to pointlessly attack atomos and trigger the incoming wipe.

    The mentality? Players think Atomos is a dps race, when its not. It's a add control encounter. 2 teams can ignore atomos while 1 team kills their atomos, allowing the next team to step off their pad and put more focus on atomos, and repeat for team 3

    Not rocket science, just a manner of fitting shaped blocks into their respective holes.

    You don't have to remind me of how Atomos works. All I'm saying is that it is a testament to what Syrcus could have been like if they made the trash packs in any way remotely difficult or mechanics-based, and is why I'm incredibly thankful that they didn't.
