I find the EX version hard on my eyes so I may be taking my time farming it, personal problem, but I can still complete the EX version just fine after putting in the time and effort to learn it.

If I can do it I am sure you can do it? So it seems to me you are giving up without even trying.

Get fellow players to learn the fight with you and practice.

This EX is technically easier than the others, it is a shorter fight by about half (if you run the basic setup of 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 DPS), and the mount is actually easier to get (50 clears instead of 99). If you get unlucky and not win a lot on one dropping from the box that is.
