This game prepares no one for raid/hard content

As a newer player trying to learn...

My issue is the difficulty in getting people to run extreme primals as a leveling player to learn in the “middle core” difficulty to prepare for savage... you can try for days just to get a group together for a synced extreme.

So yes that content exists.. but trying to do get people to do that content without being unsynced (which kind of defeats the purpose for the new people learning) is hopeless most the time.

You cannot unsynced content from current expansion, so you shouldn't have a problem there. If you're talking about past expansion content, even savage raids are done unsynced, let alone extreme trials, unless you have a dedicated group that wants to do it synced, and sometimes you can have such a group, even going as far as doing min ilvl.

There is a discord called Starbreakers Network for exactly that reason (running stuff synced and/or at min ilvl).

That being said, getting learning/clear groups for actual Ex Primal content gets harder the older the content is (this usually happends around 4-6 weeks after release). Hades Ex is an outlier, most PUGs (at least on my DC) have abandoned trying it already.

Which is weird because Hades EX kinda breaks the third EX curse that has been set in place since Thordan. It's really not that hard.

I think thats mostly due to the 4 separate DPS checks which are (for people without Eden savage gear) currently kinda tough to beat. Not impossible but currently there are not many practice groups online anymore on Light.
