Unreal Shiva is a failure.

All that does is make it harder for people like me who don't have statics or raid FCs to rely on to make a clear.

On the other hand, people who didn't have a clear yet but joined clear parties they weren't ready for made it harder for all the people who already spent their god knows how many hours in PF practicing only to be held back by people trying to sneak their way into parties that could potentially carry them. While I'm not saying everyone who doesn't have a clear yet wants to be a carried, you were powerless to stop those who do want to get carried by joining your party.
It goes both ways.
Everyone is free to make their own party with their own settings. You can still create a clear party without this requirement and find like-minded people.

None of this addresses the fact that this trial CANNOT be cleared in PF. Easy for you to just throw shade at a scapegoat, but that doesn't actually help the situation.

It can be cleared, people do it every week in PF. If PF can clear E8S they certainly can clear an old ex trial.

You completely misread what I wrote, somehow I'm not even surprised.
PF clears it every week. But since you can't outgear it by a mile, everyone needs to pull their weight. Meaning people need to aim for decent uptime, use mitigation and use dps buttons on healer. PF clears much harder fights than Shiva unreal regulary.

I got all my clears over PF with various people. Sometimes it works out better, sometimes it's hell, sometimes the 5th pull miraculously is a kill.
