I think body checks is one of the issues. Bozja didn't have all these body checks. But the mechanics did kill you if you did them wrong. We could all resurrect eachother and use Lost Actions, but because of the fact the mechanics could all 1-shot us, it was still possible for there to be a full wipe.

And if you were one of the few survivors, all those dead people could look at you in awe. The one person there who could actually do mechanics as you walked all over their bodies dodging mechanics and carrying them through it. Maybe it would inspire them to become like that.

I also don't like how in alliance raids everyone just follows where the others go and survive, not because they know the mechanics, but because they followed everyone else. I would prefer for mechanics not to be something you can just follow others for, because mechanics that are hard in isolation become easy if you can just follow the one person who did all the maths. There were some mechanics in Shadowbringers where you couldn't just follow people, such as the "walk a certain amount of steps" mechanic in DR.
