If you had extremely poor success rates clearing EX trials in ARR with randoms then either you were extremely unlucky or one of the problem elements was you. And if you're going to post a contrary statement then YOU provide proof. Demanding the other party do so simply indicates you were too lazy to verify your own claim before posting it and just points to you being part of that minority that want everything handed to you without having to work for it which your claims of EX trial experiences are also pointing to.

The people supporting the game difficulty being nerfed into oblivion fall primarily into 3 categories.
1. Lazy players that want everything handed to them.
2. People that think siding with them will make them look good and get them likes or make them popular. They jump on the side that they think will make more people like them or think they are a better person.

The actual majority will just take any changes that happen and roll with it making any adjustments needed to keep going as they have been.
