ELI5: How are the current dungeons hard?

[Connor]

ELI5 version: more bad circles that kill you than before, sometimes the bad things aren’t even circles anymore!

Really though as the poster above said it’s simply that they’ve changed the pacing / frequency of when mechanics occur that have thrown people for a loop. I’m already seeing everyone who isn’t new fully adjusted to it though, so I rarely see anyone having difficulty with content anymore.

Also want to add that as someone playing since 2.0 release I’ve had the same experience with ‘complaints about subpar performance’. In that, they’re rarely ever made, at least in normal content. Like it doesn’t really matter how ‘bad’ anyone was (it’s me I’m the bad lol) people don’t normally start fighting with each other or throwing insults. And I mean, why would they in normal content? If you ask me I don’t really think it matters how well you do as long as you at least try. The only thing I won’t forgive is just being lazy. DPS spamming one attack and doing illlogical rotations (i.e ice mage), tanks not using mitigation, healers not bothering to use one of their billion dps-neutral healing oGCDs. Like, yeah normal content easy and boring, but that doesn’t give you the right to just phone it in lol
