It's perfectly fine if nobody dies and there's enough DPS and everyone does mechanics without fail. However, asking that of pugs can get frustrating.

Seriously, as soon as someone dies, it all just snowballs from there. I have to stop to get off raises and apparently the other healer cannot react quickly enough to the copious amounts of aoe damage going out as soon as i start casting it. I have seriously just watched as my cohealer just stands there after megaholy goes out while i was getting raises off. Then by the time the tank buster goes out, the tank is way too low and dies, and it just keeps rolling downhill from there.

Since people aren't out gearing it yet, it requires a certain level of competence that some pugs don't have.

Problem is, PuGs will never have it if content is continuously nerfed into the ground. A good reason people don't know a decent rotation is you don't need one for half the content. I could probably Impulse Drive exclusively through Xelphatol and clear it just fine. While some players simply won't care no matter the obstacle, others need some incentive to preform. Even I have my moments where I'm bored, tired or just don't care enough to play outside of "good enough." Weeping City stands as a prime example when you outright tell the community "no, this is not getting nerfed. Deal with it." They eventually will, provided there's an incentive. Obviously, you can only take this approach so far, or you end up with Gordias Savage. But the devs are a little too keen on making things absurdly easy.
