No, it doesn't always go smoothly, but I would much rather get a group of seven folks eager to kick some level 50 primal's butt than yet another instance of a Guildhest or "oh, I see I have backfilled a Castrum Meridianum party, again" (as used to frequently happen with the older 8-man variants).
You're a bigger person than I, that's for sure. Some of the earlier Extremes are usually pretty doable though, especially when the echo starts factoring in. Ramuh though...I don't think I'd have the stomach to do that one again synced. I did that back in ARR, and it was an ordeal. I spent a full lockout wiping to Thordan as well, wiping 10 seconds in every time. That was when I decided that Mentor roulette was not for me. I don't need a roulette to do some mentoring.
