It’s bad enough the changes they made with the oracles but the toxicity and elitism of people in these lfg groups is unbelievable. My clan was short 2 guys so we ended up using lfg and found some people to fill the spots. These 2 guys said they had an Atheon checkpoint and ask if we could start there and they’d help us with the beginning parts after so we agreed.
Now this was our very first time in the raid learning everything and these guys had already played and made it to Atheon. So we start and their we a few mistakes but after a while we were getting the hang of stuff. All of a sudden these guys say um I don’t think we will get this done the damage isn’t enough. Now these guys were putting out similar to less damage than everyone else and were making mistakes as well. They just continued to be negative and no longer wanted to help anymore. It’s just ridiculous how people just don’t have the patience anymore to figure out where the mistakes lie, correct it and keep pushing. They rather be negative, create tension and anxiety. People want to beat the raid just as badly as these elitist pricks. Thus why raid should’ve stayed the same as it was in D1 and challenge mode should’ve had the changes.

Between D1 and D2 I have over 800 raid clears. I don’t mind helping people learn, but I simply don’t have time for 3-4 hour raids. My wife and daughter get angry at me, and it can get very frustrating. I generally can tell within 15 minutes if a team will clear. A few things will lead to this: 1) Repeat deaths for the same reason. You need to own your game, evaluate what you did wrong, and solve it. If a Sherpa recommends a fix, do it. 2) Not enough boss damage. This is generally due to incorrect weapons, mods, or players not playing crisply and being confused / dead / late to the damage phases. 3) Too many adds remaining. You should always be shooting something or doing something to help your team. If I exit the portal into a swarm of 5 supplicants every time that’s not on me. 4) Gatekeepers Specific example. Can’t kill minotaurs / wyrens / gatekeepers quickly. If you can’t solo a gate or a confluxes please learn how, or your team will be there for a while. Raiding is end game, especially in the first week. Everyone needs to play well. You can’t expect people to drag you through.
