I'm a nice guy, except for when it comes to PVE. When it comes to PVE I fully admit to being a complete and utter asshole. I'm the type of player who will look up videos of a fight, study it, and know what to expect before I attempt to join a que. I've played mmorpg's for years now, and on several games have been a serious raider. Not in this game, but on others like WoW, SWTOR etc.
So when I go into a trial or dung or whatever, I know what the fuck I'm doing. I got too much shit that needs doin to be wasting my time wiping on stuff I know -I- am capable of beating. And so it infuriates me to no end when people cant learn simple mechanics. Content that has been out for months now, and people are still just running into a brick wall head first and hoping for the best. That's not how shit works, most places have mechanics, and if you cant do them, you fail.
In short, I'm glad it was nerfed, and would rather it be dumbed down so that for those who can't perform the most basic of tasks wont prevent me from getting my daily and gtfo.
And not even just running into a brick wall but flat out refusing to perform any mechanics at all after being explained. I'd have to be relieved for it being nerfed too because the arguments caused with random people in DF for this possible eight minute run isn't worth it.
Do I still like it? Of course I do. I found it different than a regular dungeon and had a fun time overall. I failed, a bunch. Especially with his feet. But I kept at it with my guildies and we tore through it in under eight minutes - now it's just a thing of the past for me which I hope that SE provides more in the future. It's something different.Â
But it's as Caleb said, there's mehanics involved in this trial as there is in any other dungeon- whether we're talking about FFXIV or any other MMO. If you need help; just ask. There are plenty of people out there who would have it previewed in Party Finder and even more so people you may know personally who wouldn't mind having you around.
What I don't condone though, and had to tell some who wanted mine or friends help, is carrying people. I'll help you run through this thing, walk you through how to do it and make sure your screen isn't full of dragon butt while doing it - but I won't carry you and let you walk away from SoF without learning something of the fight.
