So how is everyone feeling about Occult Crescent now that it’s been a few days?

Alone for this BS we should encourage more people to "snipe" slots, alone to f*** over those Discords. This kind of entitlement that others are dictating how to play needs to stop.

Whatever your opinion of the discords is sniping spots doesn’t benefit anyone because the discords aren’t stoping you from pugging puggable content they are trying to organise people through content that’s explicitly NOT puggable by randoms. You aren’t sending any message to the discords other than being annoying because you sniping doesn’t change their position because this content isn’t puggable. Square also doesn’t care because they won’t even notice this type of interaction because it doesn’t flag anything

If you hate the discords that’s fine but the problem is the entry requirements, not the discords feeling like they are the only way to make it viable for people

Square makes the dumbest systems imaginable and the big brain geniuses on the forums start complaining about other players, like they're the ones who coded the stupid ass entry requirements. Half the posts make me think that they don't even care about doing the content and they just want to complain about Discord servers.

That's punishing the wrong people. The fault for why Discords think they're entitled to claim this content is because SE's design allows it. This is entirely at SE's feet. We don't need to bring in more toxicity toward each other. SE isn't going to see the numbers of people in a Discord. They will see completion numbers.

Are discords that "think they are entitled to claim this content" in this room with us right now?

It is not casual delubrum normal raid where you can just go blind into trap and get ressed afterwards wtih 100% chance of clearing even at giga slow pace if you have bad players in instance. You need specific amount of specific phantom jobs to clear whole raid. You need at least 6 tanks just for tank busters etc. No it is not even 4th savage floor grinding teeth week1 in pf type of a content, you just need a lot of preparation to enter.

Their own design creates an issue where sniper can mostly just grief raid out of tank/healer and some phantom job (since sniper is entitled to play phantom sam you know). Sniper can also just wipe entire raid either for fun (trap) or oops i only watched first boss guide. Not to mention that getting entire raid in instance is pain for no reason.

If anything, "casuals" should storm square everywhere in internet for no normal raid version and no 48 man alliance pf system for forked tower. ( just the latter tbh would have solved instance prog and allowed EVERYONE prog this content already)
