And yes I'm not a fan but I'm on the fence on the whole do I want or don't want a SR. What's the problem usually is when people run of and do a mass pull with limited AoE potential.

Its practice, and working towards improving yourself.
No argument here. It is to improve.

You can even do it in pugs, by thinking what can you do to reduce the time with whatever random team members you get with whatever random skill/gear levels they have. (and to do this without causing wipes, or having a tolerable risk level)
What's lacking in pugs is usually communication. Where are you pulling to or how much are you pulling, do you expect the whm to holy or not(I have been asked to just heal when they do a mass pull but that was one instance when anyone ever said anything). It's the variables that will cause the wipe not your personal skill.

If you aren't trying to push yourself, the game has literately zero challenge, you make the challenge by doing it as fast as you can.
But here's the thing. I play to enjoy myself. I don't want a challenge 90% of the time. I mostly do dungeons to relax and unwind after work. I do coils and fun runs to push myself and challenge myself.

But I guess some people are ok with half afk no challenge ezmode giv loot please. To me you couldn't be lazier.
It's called having fun and relaxing. Something a large part of the vocal community seems to have lost the idea behind.
