    as you can't solo encounters, you should add "lack of 7 other capable/non lagging players" in your list. It IS a decisive factor in these encounters.

    That doesn't mean the encounter in itself is difficult per say. It just means you have to find better players to do it with.

    Well you can 4 man T5 (it has been done) so more like "find 3-7 other people"

    But if your bringing in the short bus crew to do it that is your own fault. I'm sorry but the excuse "I'm the only person good enough willing to do it on my server is not going to fly"

A Veteran MMO gamer knows that the experience of the game is stretched out over years, and if crafted properly, it leaves players with some of the best gaming experiences to be found anywhere.
