Is there a way to design end game content that doesn't lead to a caustic community?

That's 100% true. I played Aion before this and I feel that DC( lvl 39 dungeon, lvl cap is 65) is as hard as coil which is sad. But since I find it so easy, I don't really mind wiping on it. It's mind blowing to me how we end up wiping on some stuff but I'm just like "meh"

Draupnir Cave, seriously? I beat that first time out and half the party were new to the instance. Coil from start to finish took me about 8 weeks from first setting foot in there to downing Twintania. Aion's PvE is stupidly easy in comparison to XIV, even the hardest dungeon at the time (60 cap) was just a magic resist check and healer test although that isn't the game's focus really.

The only reason Draupnir Cave is hard at all is because they set the entry level way too low.
