I think to address potential griefing they need both lengthen the support NM timer and nerf mechanics at AV and Ozma that heavily punish the entire group for screw-ups (That would be the aether orbs and Acceleration Bomb, mainly) and instead just make them instakill their targets if they fail. That's generally how sensitive mechanics in 24 mans function so I don't know why they abandoned that philosophy here because it just breeds frustration.
Premades always come in with a full roster of 48-56 players and invade the instances with their big boots. Despite what they might say, they will rain down on your parade if you dare take a portal. You're not "asking nicely", you're coming in and monopolizing the instance. This isn't how the content works. Other players have nothing to gain from cooperating with you in any way; they don't get to use any of the portals.

And then these same groups expect other players to go sit in Discord for up to 5 hours instance hopping (see: other posters) to be able to sit in an instance to wait for Ovni to spawn. Ridiculous. I pay a subscription to play the game, not sit on a 3rd party service for hours.
