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.
