If the average gamer is unable to hold the directional (or AWSD) after a clear visual hint is given, then I fear for the future of gaming.

Sorry, Titan HM, EX, whatever, is not hard by any means. Titan is far more forgiving than people make it out to be. I've actually died once because I moved out of Weight of the Land, ran in circles and went back to the original position...AND THE AOE WAS STILL THERE. Seriously, there's more than enough time to avoid the damn thing.

The only way you can be hit every time is if you either:

A - completely ignore it thinking "hey, it must be nothing", in which case you deserve to be stuck on Titan
A1- completely fail to pay attention to the screen and don't even see the AoE, in which case you deserve to be stuck on Titan
A2 - Your party was so out of position there was literally nowhere to avoid a certain move. And this is actually nearly impossible to happen, you must be purposedly trying to MPK others so to achieve such perfection. Like making a star pattern with a poor soul in the middle.

or

B - genuinely lag, which, if frequent, leads to
B1- unfortunately, your connection to the servers is bad, I'm afraid you simply can't play this game. SE's fault or your fault, the final result is the same. If it's that bad and you can't fix it, try a single player game. Try another MMO. Try changing ISPs. Just stop ruining the game for others if you're unable to avoid even the simplest of AoEs.


The hardest thing about 100% of the content of this game is finding 7 other people who can do it and put in enough effort to clear it (which for anything but Twintania means 1-2 hours on a single day once strategies are widely known, 3-4 if not, then never ever die again unless something extraordinary happens).
