the normal content is too easy

[Ronduwil]

I think it's important that people remember that difficulty is completely subjective. I'm a double legend and cleared the current savage tier really early, so is the normal content hard for me? Of course not. But I regularly see groups hardcore struggle in normal level content when I do mentor roulette. I've seen groups wipe 5 times in a row to some of the new story trials. (new story trial 2 especially) I still see groups wipe to P2+P3 normal A LOT in mentor roulette.

Thank you! I don't think this can be repeated enough. Players who only ever interact with their raiding FC, the Balance Discord, and/or the players on this forum really lack the perspective to judge what is and isn't difficult.

Even when we do get normal content that's designed to be harder, people just avoid it anyways. Orbonne is my favorite 24 man this game has ever released and I never get to do it because everyone just ilevel cheeses alliance raids to get LOTA. And we're about to get to experience the glory and chaos of getting to do a new 24 man day 1, which is one of my favorite experiences to have in the game outside of savage/ultimate.

Exactly. To me, this is the biggest supporting evidence of my hotly contested assertion that players prefer easy content, and that's why SE keeps the content simple. If everyone were really craving the level of challenge that so many on this forum claim should be the baseline for all players, no one who be cheesing the roulette in this manner.

Some people prefer CT series raids because it offers a more efficient reward/time ratio. It appears in roulettes constantly because it's 1. Required by the MSQ and 2. only takes 1 person to cheese their ilevel to force 23 people into it. if you actually ask most players what their favorite 24 man is, almost no one is going to actually answer with Crystal Tower. People constantly complain about this problem, and it's lead to many players simply no longer queuing for Alliance Raid Roulette.

People cheese the roulette because they've ran the things a thousand times already and are bored af of them and ultimately just want to get in get tomes / exp and gtfo..

it'll be the exact same when 6.1 lands. new 24 man raid. be fun for a few days.. but by the time 6.2 or 6.3 lands players will be sick to death of it because they're ran it hundreds of times trying to get there weekly drops or whatever.
