Also that's not something wrong with the game, that's something wrong with people. You find bad players who don't listen in every multiplayer game.
The playerbase is the game though, since I'm forced to play with others to get anything done. Which by the way, is an absolute nightmare these days. SE are so scared to challenge and teach that I view most players to be unskilled and I don't enjoy playing with them.

Better teaching tools, harder story content, and a better difficulty curve will go far to make me happy. As it stands, sitting in PF more time than actually doing content because people are ignorant of their own skill level and selfishly drag others down isn't fun, so I've been playing other games where I don't have to rely on others.

Spending 20 minutes to kill Construct, and still being in the top 10 DPS after spending 10 minutes outside the barrier speaks volumes.
