For all the blame, of lag, or whatever excuse, the sad fact is it's still 90% excecution. I see a lot of Titan EX fight that go "arrggh stupid lag" or whatever reason....is sadly stupid excuse to shift the blame trying to brute force dodging with reaction and fail miserably when it's excution problem.

example:
Most common wipe: Landslide row bombs

player eyes: blame lag for their wipe, flame the boards
My eyes: bad execution for not baiting landslide middle that forces players into a no-win tight dodge situation, their own fault for wiping

This is what usually happens in fights. Sure some mechanics are pretty brutal, but they are in fact many times player executed poorly and they just won't admit it.

Extremes are suppose to be EXTREME.

The one problem here is that ARR whether in lack of content, or unbalance in content, has turn into a community where everything is "easy", and then when people fail "easy" stuff, they decry it's not fun because it's not "easy".

This naming creep is bad, and perhaps too much community abuse problem. Not winning on an extreme, coil, etc, should be the normal. But people think they can walk in a few times with randoms and win, worse this whole echo thing expects them to steam roll.

again Extreme.
