    What you have control over is your own performance and your personal mechanics, hence that is what matters, if you are doing well on those you should be clearing the boss and receiving your reward alas, the illusion of difficulty that comes from other players failing has resulted in people thinking high end group content is something incredibly hard while solo content even when tuned to be difficult is quite easy because there's no illusion of difficulty since other people's failures dont exist.
    "Less than 100% control" =/= "0% control," no matter how many goalposts you move to reduce to try to devalue any sort of group content.


    ANOTHER player doing something wrongly does not become YOUR personal failure.
    YOUR doing less than YOU reasonably should have to preempt and prevent such occurences, is.


    Throwing your hands up in the air the moment you can't figure out how to better do the latter does not make that difficulty a mere illusion. It's merely elusive TO YOU.

    I think we should return to reality cuz I am pretty certain people dont do high end content cuz they find the process of coordination fun or the process of teaching people fun.

    People usually want to beat an encounter, that is the goal, the longer it takes the more difficult or more of an achievement it seems to be yet in reality the only reason people dont clear it as quickly is because all groups often have 1-3 slower or underperforming members, which if we are honest, people often get fed up with when they keep wiping on the same mechanics. So again, this worshiping of "coordination" does not seem to reflect reality because people absolutely do not enjoy doing well and wiping anyway cuz player no #6 failed the mechanic again.

    Solo content is the same situation but reversed, because it is cleared relatively quickly without 100 pulls most relatively skilled people feel it is easy, the reality is, higher difficulty solo content is just as easy as high end group content. High end group content simply feels harder due to the illusion of difficulty created by other people's failures aka the thing I said you have no control over.

    The tryhard elitist is the person who is going to finish their 5 pieces on this created to be beaten """"challenge"""" and then complaint that the baby, slower or less dexterous person are a problem which not only is toxic but indirectly implies that doing this basic created to be beaten task faster is an """achievement""" of """great skill""" which helps to falsely boost the elitist's self worth as that is their true motive, if challenge was truly their desire they would relish in the chance to do more than the rest.
    The healthy person on the other hand will either let people finish their part or assist them for their self worth does not depend on solving basic puzzles created to be beaten, aka as a video game.

    Team-play, including what coordination it involves, is largely why one would go and do combat content in a multiplayer game, including MMORPGs, rather than just loading up a single player game, yes.

    I'm not sure why this shocks you.

    People also, shockingly, enjoy team sports, not just being limited to 1v1s or shadow-boxing in an empty court.
