    Just saying, as soon as the lock outs disappeared and I jumped into doing Turn 9, we got Darnus down to 5% before a wipe cause of a bad timed disconnect. I learn fights pretty fast. So essentially it's still having to wait several months before lock outs before I can get loot. Neat...

    You greatly underestimate the impact a few good players can have on a group. You were also doing this overgeared.

    You are not supposed to have rewards equal to a group that put in the time and effort to be able to clear without outside help.

    What this does now is it will really increase the ability for players to learn the content as there's now the option for experienced players to help the rest out. That first clear and gaining confidence to not choke at 5% is incredibly important, then they can go on the next week and maybe not need outside help again. Or straight up progression assistance - explaining everything as you go along, with someone right there able to identify small nuances to improve on.

    Teach a man to fish.. etc.
