Not really much has changed. Before I took my break in 5.2, I had never a single negative experience (yay me!) during any of my mandatory dungeon/trial runs and in leveling roulette, even if I had effed up the "simplest" choreographical mechanics. This would probably have been different if I had unlocked every optional group content and/or would have played it. Heck, even the majority of my Novice Network time was quite enjoyable. I'm by mmo standards a weirdo, though, and live mostly in my own "micro cosmos" . Most negativity/bittnerness (doesn't matter if "justified" or not) was mostly while browsing this forums; no offense intended.
