Maybe so, but unlike other duties you have to prog, you can’t just go right back in and try again. At minimum you have to wait for the weather again. (And you delevel too right?) If you get pretty far and wipe, you may have party members that don’t have time to go through again, so you have to reschedule.

At any rate, the point is, it’s never going to be an easy “carry the newbies through” duty like BA is now, as they say they intended it to be. At least without some major changes. I’d much prefer they leave this version alone and dub it Savage, because some people actually enjoy this. But create a Normal mode for everyone else to get the notes, card and grind out their sanguinite for gear upgrades.
