The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

[Kolaina]

Players are bad because the content it too easy, up the content and then people will be forced to get better you do it.

It's treating the root cause

Id argue players are bad because the community is soft. Point out a mistake someone’s making and get chewed by the rest of the party / alliance.

The game tries to teach players. But players complained and content gets dumbed down. Aurum vale 2nd boss now has visible markers when the fight was intended to make sure you knew the mechanics by name. Bardums mettle 2nd boss is 100% mechanic and you only need 1 person capable for the group to pass.

If you want to wall off players, do it in solo content. Or allow players to speak up with critique when someone isn’t pulling their weight. But I still say OP is just an elitist who wants to raise the bar too high when you consider the other threads they start
