I quit coil shortly after clearing t8 several months ago because it got too frustrating having to pug people to replace static members that couldn't make it, or having to find new members when someone left the static / wasn't a good fit. It's not fun trying to progress through content but having different people in your group every week, so I stopped trying. If that's lazy to you, then fine, but I went through a lot more than six months of this experience. I've had four coil groups now since 2.0, and they've all had huge issues with scheduling.

MMORPG players are generally older now, and it's tough to get 8 people that can spend the same 2+ days together every week for 3+ hours in one sitting. It's obviously not impossible, but the struggle in finding 7 other people compatible to you in personality, play style, and scheduling is just not worth the effort for everyone.

I'm hoping the normal mode for Alexander will be more of the type of thing I can just grab a few friends and some randoms and tackle without the high level of stress with playing group jump rope. I'm sure there will still be some challenge involved, but trying to get through t7 (pre-nerf) with 1-2 pugged players at different comfort levels than my static was just unbelievably frustrating.
