This is essentially all my complaints worded probably far better.

Hell this hits home since my static just fell apart because as they put it, "no one was having fun anymore". No one wanted to spend hours in coil trying to memorize the fight and dealing with a single person causing a mistake and wiping us.

My static was at our most fun when we did T1-4 and had it on farm. Even with learning those fights it wasn't bad. We simply had fun, then with extremes and T5 on wards it's just been hell trying to get everyone on to do the content and wipe for hours until we get it.

One problem I think with the current content is it's heavily balanced with the mindset that you have a solid static of 8 hardcore players who are very good at the game, or you're going to spend many hours trying to memorize a scripted fight.

Hell for anyone who doesn't agree with the OP, the 2 biggest pieces of damning evidence supporting how annoying this content is, is the fact that 1, people sell carries because for some people it's the only way they can clear this content, and 2, look in PF and see the number of endgame groups with 1-3 strike policies. This sort of content encourages elitism, because these fights are long and stressful and single mistakes can cause a do-over.
