On the one hand it's good that DRM CMs vary in difficulty but they should also be adequate to the rewards they are tied to, in which case it has to be changed.

This is painful to read.

Difficulty that would encourage people to team up while playing a multiplayer game :)

You have like 2 seconds to move out of it. Even after nerf I see people who die to this simple mechanic and not just once... My only problem would be that condi field this aoe inflicts lasts too long, which throws burning at you even after it disappears. Not mentioning the fact that with decent group you just skip it with dps.

Community of this game is not prepared for 1 shot mechanics outside raids.

I'm sure we will have enough time to bash ANet for next xpack features being underwhelming after they announce them :)

People are willing to sell anything. There are set prices for Fullclear, single wing, collection and good enough guilds have bundles for entirety of 150 Li. Since there is a weekly cap, you get set amount of kills at a time.

I wish for people to stop praising "Cantha" mindlessly thinking It's gonna turn into second coming of Christ for this game.

There is no problem with KP in raids or fractals. There is problem with people not willing to put minimal effort into completing said content. Seeing problems everywhere but in themselves.

That's what happens when we barely get any worthwhile group content. Playerbase instead of getting better gets worse. If you return after a break and hope to find a good static it's a race. Either you are lucky enough to find 3-4 capable people or you burn out and (insert kitten here) off from playing the content, game altogether.

Well this thread is about CMs so yes.

If there was an option to do certain metas by starting your own map with ability to kick people? Oh, you would be surprised how many people would take part in it. Because average player skill in this game is very low, some choose to set their own requirements to separate wheat from the chaff. No, you don't need LI to complete the content. No, it is not required for you to ask for any KP. This boring piece of content already takes almost 1 hr for 3x CMs. If there is a way to shave off even couple of minutes by asking for proper comp and/or KP some players will do it.

Make a reddit thread with exact same name. I wonder how that's gonna end :)

Judging the playerbase we need something easier than strikes before even talking about 'stepping stone' into raids to begin with. As long as there is no proper tutorial about core mechanics in the game like CC and damage types, there is no talk about increasing raid population. God forbid making strikes lobby in Aerodrome as people might do something unthinkable like joining raid LFG. The two are being disconnected from one another. Naturally, people will keep asking about li as long as it necessary in their mind to do so.

Since over half of the people does not use it, would be nice to see same thing in patch notes but this year :)

Just wanted to leave it here for perspective:

2015 Nov 17th - Release of Raid Wing 1 - Spirit Vale

2016 Apr 19th - Squads can now be advertised in LFG.

Far too many people claim what what have today for granted.

It's worldwide-spread issue to be annoyed by other people's LFG requirements instead of making your own.

Money obviously.

No. I don't want another poorly created tool in place of something that already is well made and it's free.

Latest addition to fractals brings out the best in people and the problem persists :)

Judging by the amount of times they tried to fix legendary djiin bounty in desert highlands, my marbles are on the bug.

You mean CMs from 3 years ago? The game has changed with release of PoF. There was a shift in difficulty because of how HoT was received.

Which is all the endgame is about. Nobody who runs T4+CMs daily will run it on normal. It's the CM that will be played the most in couple of weeks. Therefore it's the default difficulty for this fractal. Aside from that, I'm sure we will find couple of people in the upcoming days that would disagree with you that's it's easier.

Sunqua CM is ANet's definition of "hardcore endgame". If you think it's too easy you are just not the target audience for this game. GW2 endgame difficulty compared to other MMOs is just laughable. But again, it's this way by design not unbalance.

Yup. Bugged again.
