If you are so adverse to community driven content and goals, while having crippling social anxiety, than you shouldn't be complaining about the content you seemingly CANT do regardless. Clearly you don't want those drops enough then.
    You may not suffer from social anxiety but you certainly do so from ignorance. Social anxiety is a disorder that can cause physical symptoms and people like you just make it worse. It’s not about not wanting.

    That being said, while I find the raid fun, it would have been better to have a toned down version with at least slightly longer timers (or just remove the doom part). Being dependent on 23 other people to not mess up a mechanic is a bit much and contributes to toxicity. This game seriously lacks midcore content that could be used as a stepping stone for harder content.

    I also always found the community in this game to not be very helpful. It's day 1 and there were several groups just pulling and not taking the time to explain anything causing the same mistakes being repeated over and over (this is not new to this Chaotic raid). Like there’s this day 1 blind fresh prog announced in PF. The group fails to deal with endeath because they don’t know what it does yet and someone immediately starts complaining at how people can’t deal with endeath and are incompetent. Why not simply explain what the mechanic is instead of throwing a tantrum that doesn’t help anyone. It wouldn’t take longer, it would be more pleasant and it would speed up the learning process.
