Why the hate with endgame fights?

[RiyahArp]

Considering no one can even spell my name right it seems, I'm not sure.

And I see a couple of us actually saying why we dislike things and giving reasons, and the rest of the people essentially just defending their own raids as well as essentially saying "You must clear OS4 to be able to talk on it." Not like me nor others have zero savage experience, nor that savage in this game is a long, multi-tiered fight that you need to do multiple steps that take months; we're talking four single bosses that you can spend a couple hours learning all of their attacks, and maybe 6 hours to 2-4 weeks to fully defeat. All of the fights you even prep by watching a video or faq to understand every attack in theory, then go in to do it in practice.

As fo Kaiva's help, she isn't even on my data center. So it looks good as a gesture but was useless to me.

To be blunt, it wouldn't matter if I was perfectly polite. Whenever you say anything that counteracts the values of people, they will always take the negative stance against it. People are too wrapped up in raids as a form of identity that no real challenge to them will ever be tolerated; any real discussion of them just warps back to reaffirming the shared belief, i.e. raids are wonderful and players just need to git gud. And when you get piled on enough, you really start to get annoyed with people and the whole shared belief itself. You get tired of people always overemphasizing ice mages, or complaining about the skill of the playerbase despite things going really well, or teh many little myths that build up and get reinforced, and it creates this big divide between the myth and what you experience in game.
