No offense, but t9 is a mechanics fight. The dps check is basically non existant now. The weekly carboncoat system is actually pretty genius; no rng (beyond getting people who can beat WoD) involved, and it helps new players beat the old content involved, and Syrcus Tower didn't have sands at first either. Considering they've said they are going to implement carbontwines in that series of content it'll probably be a similar weekly quest introduced later on.
