Expecting competent players at level 100 should not only be expected but required. I am not asking them to be able to do Extreme trials and Savage raids but Expert dungeons and Normal raids, absolutely. If you're at level 100 and did not use skip potions, you should be close to 400 to 600 hours into the game. If you do not know your job by then, I do not know what to say at that point.
