I am curious is JP has similiar complaints about the entry requirements with the level of communication needed.
From Gaia [JP] DC, Alexander server here. Both discord groups and pugs are clearing it. Most runs are a mix of both, usually I see clears based on 1 or 2 premade groups of 8 and the rest are PUGs. Pure PUG groups have cleared the arsenal. In general, not many complaints here. Majority of players have watched guides on the mechanics. Players new to it will state that they are new and will be taught. I've have not seen instances of multiple people camping a portal. I would say the response in Gaia DC to the arsenal is moderately positive.

I can't speak much for the other data centres but I can say this - Elemental DC does have a significantly different culture compared to other JP data centres; perhaps due to the demographics, I can't really be sure.
