This is a different discussion, and I could write up pages upon pages about why I don't do social stuff in games, unless it's relaxed small group content.

Trials are still tolerable, they take all of 5 minutes (except for the castrums back at 50, those were atrocious content, still a stain on the game to this day, despite all the culling and the changes done to them).
Dungeons are already a HUGE ask for me. But the scions fix the problem, like I said above.

No, raids aren't just "scaled up dungeons". In a dungeon, over the course of the run, I do teamplay with the other 3 players. In an alliance raid, I run with the zerg, find a place to drop down and watch as the raid clears the encounter perfectly fine without me even having a pulse.

Insert the godzilla "nope" meme here.
