New Unreal is a an all around miserable experience.

I know! So friggin awesome!

You may not share my enthusiasm, but to me this sounds like total fun. Grouping up with others. The game providing actual resistance to a clear. Players talking to each other. Passing on strats; answering questions. Struggling, dying, crying, and laughing with other peeps who are also new and just wanting to learn, and maybe get a little better in the process. Dinosaurs like me remember a time when this was the MMO experience, opposed to all the instant gratification given to players today. It is a shame that you cannot acknowledge and also find enjoyment is what is a very unique mmo experience.

Maybe if I felt like i was making progress, maybe if the end point weren't hours more down a lightless PF tunnel. I raided in WoW vanilla-Wrath, no boss fight in those raids ever made me half as angry or feel half as bad at failing as any high end fight I've attempted in this game. I always leave feeling like **** even if we do manage to clear. Especially having done Sav in the PF last tier, because clearing once in no way guarantees a clear the next week. 1-2h per week for a clear were more likely than a 1 or 2 shot group by a mile. I don't enjoy repeated failure and I really don't enjoy repeating the same ****ing phases over and over and over for 6-8 minutes just to wipe 1 minute into p3. Regardless I'm done with it, it's not worth the frustration for 10 weeks just to get a mount or minion, I'm not wasting any more energy on it when it makes me miserable. I'll just hope next patch it's something more reasonable.

I can promise you I am terrible at gaming. Each time I join an extreme or unreal, my first reaction is that Ill never be able to clear it.
Five runs and I wonder what was I so afraid of. You got this.

Having done p1s and p2s, I can tel you I feel exactly the opposite. It's always as bad as I anticipte. And it's not fear, it's pain aversion. The amount of frustration and mental investment for me to clear content like this is massive.

Honestly at this point if you feel so strongly why are you even doing high end content, it’s obvious it doesn’t jive with you

Armor skins I wanted from last tier savage, I managed to stick it out for 6 weeks to get what I wanted then I was done. I did Seph Unreal last night expecting more challenging, but doable in a reasonable amount of time and get my weekly currency. I didn't expect Sav level difficulty and 3 hours of wiping just to see p3 and start progging that for 30 seconds before wiping. With the future being multiple more hours re-clearing p1/2 just to even prog phase 3, then eating enrage for hours more and then maybe getting a clear just like Sav. Then doing it all over again the next week. The rewards just aren't worth it.

EDIT - Daily limit.
