Don't do chaotic raid again

[Infindox]

If PF gatekeeping is already happening then the content is a bust. I thought this was going to be something akin to a BA/DRS where people were rewarded for helping each other clear and you could queue whenever you wanted. Harder content but doable. Instead it's a 24 man trial that forces you to use PF (I tried DF and was waiting for longer then was feasible, though some of that is probably due to this being released using the holiday week), and while the game wants you help newbies out, I expect the "only join if you've cleared" PFs and something that rhymes with farce runs. And then I already see a lot of the people who normally raid in Savage not even bothering to get on, because not only is it again the holidays but there's literally nothing else in this patch they are interested in. And don't even get me started on having to use Discord to find parties, you shouldn't even have to do that.
Somewhat nice to me that I see the Japanese side agrees with some comments over here.

Thats already happening. Those PF already exist.
People do the same as always in PF.
You have now about five different raid plans for the fight, words in PF no one who hasn't doen Savage knows what it means, people just not helping and so on.

I am now at Phase 3 to enrage and man.
The fight is a really fun savage fight but absolutely not what it should have been or probably what was intended.
Body checks, strange pair and split mechanics with visual cluster tells and worst of all shuffling of the raid teams at one point so you land in a different position.
Enrage also seems pretty rough for what the ilvl is and how many mistakes actually can happen.
Those who cleared early were mostly bis but now you have all kinds of ilvls and in PF the ilvl locks are starting to appear.
This fight is straight up harder than the Eden cloud of darkness fight and honestly I am also miffed about yet another high end raid even as someone with savage experience.

Overtuned for what it should be but I guess the streamers will celebrate it because they are mostly high end raiders and Mr. Ozma can give himself a pet on the back for yet another 08/15 savage fight designed (just another boss trial) because apparently he isn't able to do anything else anymore.
