The best fight I remember having was a storymode Garuda. The group I was in died 2 twice, but we were learning. We even discussed how Garuda was fighting and what was and wasn't working. We got her on the third try. The only other time I felt so satisfied was when I was raiding a few years back with a friendly static.

Now? I'm lucky to pass new released content without someone leaving before making it past the first boss. Or, saying someone sucks and spouting nums to prove it. Or, blaming dps for failing a fight, when the real reason was ppl dropping like flies for getting killed to mechanics (cause heaven forbid you stop dpsing to move a few inches).
