Let's be blunt here. The Pleasure Gardens are anything but. You have to wipe out all the enemies in the area, then sneak by the weird dog things in a mist you can very easily get lost in, or if your not doing that then you have to help guide the people through the fog to the spore plants and even then you have to hope your fireteam know the easiest route to the next spore plant or that your not about to guide them directly into a dog that you couldn't see, and then you have to hope you have enough spores to do enough damage to the dogs before you have to run back into the bunker and then you have to repeat the process until you manage to kill them all or else Calus will lock down the bunker and force you to try and kill all the dogs or wipe. And if you do wipe, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE, SLOW, DRAGGING PROCESS AGAIN. And you [b]WILL[/b] end up doing this again, and again, and again, and again. The bath's part I could tolerate because once you had it figured out, it was a relatively quick process. You just needed to make sure you worked in tandem with your fireteam to get through it in a timely manner. The Castellum can be a little tedious but it's easily the easiest part about the raid. The Gauntlet can be a bit dragging sometimes but still, by a long shot, better than the Pleasure Gardens. Even the Throne Room is significantly more tolerable, however finicky the shadow realm can be. The Pleasure Gardens are generally just the absolute worst part of this raid. It wouldn't be so bad if maybe you had more time before the dogs suddenly decide "You know what, -blam!- this shit." and start howling for no reason. Or if maybe the spore plants gave you even a little bit more buff per guardian next to it. I don't care if I end up missing out on the loot by avoiding this part of the raid. It's not worth the headache when I can just fight Calus. I'd much rather just fight Calus over and over again to get my loot than EVER go through the Pleasure Gardens more than once. Oh and you can only imagine how difficult this part's going to be once the Prestige version of the raid drops.
