See, the idea of these might sound good when you think about "It'd be nice to have people revisiting old content". I know I've certainly lamented feeling like I needed to jump into content within the first month of release otherwise I'll likely rarely get to do it.

However, consider the idea of Shinryu EX, a fight with three very punishing phases that start you over from the very beginning if you fail, being in DF. Or Hades EX, which has six phases with the same stipulation.

It's easy to say "Mentors who actually mentor should be able to help people through fights", but this is not always the case. Some people might learn how to react to mechanics slower than the rest of the party, which might hurt the DPS check. Other people might not understand the way a complicated mechanic works. Consider Neo Exdeath, where one person messing up during Grand Cross will push everyone off the stage and kill them. Would you want to do something like that in DF where there are multiple status effects going out and only seconds to explain to a person what they have to do? Especially when there are multiple outcomes for status effects you can have?

And that's not even getting into people who don't listen to or respond in chat.
