How's Pagos? Short answer - Awful

The nerf to the NM spawns means a lot of punishing combat for very little reward. I've been in four times now and I'm seeing only one or maybe two NMs per session.

The Challenge Log gives good xp but causes issues with players now having lots of different objectives. It's hard to find a group where everyone works together if you don't do it straight after reset.

People seem a lot less helpful than they were in Anemos (probably due to the high risk of losing a huge chunk of XP if you try to be a 'good samaritan')

The bunny fates are just annoying, got gold 3 times and no bunny. Then again, the two people I know who did get the bunny got one grade V materia and a lizard tongue. I haven't bothered since.

It's hard (at least on EU Datacentre) to find people willing to co-operate and communicate with each other.
I've been in parties that broke because no one could agree what mobs to kill for the challenge log or because people just weren't prepared to kill mobs they didn't need personally.
Other parties people didn't seem to understand how to chain and ran round hitting stuff we hadn't pulled and totally ignoring the red mobs.
One memorable party where everyone bar two of us was afk...

It's been an exercise in frustration so far and it's caused my RSI to flare. Since the weapon is going to be outdated almost as soon as we get it, I am seriously considering not going back in.
