This is ridiculous.

Never has a battle been so subject to chance, be it getting into a group that knows what the attack patterns are, to the gear they're wearing and how much knowledge they have about the fight. Are the mechanics in this battle ultra difficult to adapt to or is it just me who keeps getting into baffling groups?

Yeah, I know. "Don't expect to win any primal EX battles with a DF group." Playing with randoms is always a pain in the @$$ on MMOs but what strikes me as odd is the fact that with MMOs - "Massive Multiplayer Online" - I'm supposed to play with other random people. So, what gives?

I'm an item level 84 Monk on Excalibur trying his damnedest to complete this quest and move on. I've been stuck on it since before my monitor gave out over a month ago, and prior to that I'd been trying for over a month to find a winning group.
