I just realized the point of Singularity Reactor

Which is why it is critical for there to be solo DPS checks in a group setting. (Party members zone into another room have to beat up target dummy enemy essentially, if they fail they die and more enemies spawn where the rest of the party is). Party can still succeed even with durr DPS failure but the DPS failure will KNOW they failed and hopefully will consider improving. The game already tells tanks and healers they are bad when they fudge up (lost aggro, people dying) but has no real way to let the masses know if they blow chunks in the DPS role.

I lately have a weird feeling that bad players are catching up with HW content.
I remember that when I did Ravana and Bismarck during the first few weeks of HW, runs went without a hitch, mostly clearing in 2 tries, and that was while people were clad in relatively low gear.
Nowadays, despite there being several synced players, I have seen Bismarck HM runs not even finishing due to people being unable to clear the snakes DPS check, wiping 6+ times before disbanding. And Ravana runs that look just like the picture, and when they finally get cleared, it's just barely with 4 swords on the ground...
And this all with me pitching in DPS as well as a healer, which I did not need to do while leveling...

The ragequits actually start making sense...
