Being able to solo it on difficult last month (which I can no longer do this month, mind you, because this fight is considerably more difficult) was still an incredibly painful slog. I would not even be able to tell someone "oh don't worry, just solo it 2.5x as many times on easy!" with a straight face.
I could only do the dragon on normal (not a high enough hit rate on difficult) and I wasn't able to finish all the +1 because time... I only have so much of it. That said I was pleased as punch with how it all was the first month, I felt it was pretty fair all around even if I couldn't get enough points for the full +1 set the NQ was pretty great still and would be a step up for a lot of players.
This month's was just soooo meh. The set wasn't very exciting overall, and since I don't really play any of the jobs on it (only pup is leveled and the set offered nothing much to pup) and they made the fight harder (to get a pop even) I just totally ignored it this round.
The rest of the sets will be for jobs I tend to play more so I will have more interest but I hope the set quality goes up - the pops are easier to make - and the fight is a little more fair for people playing using trusts. I don't mind having to grind to get my gear, and I don't mind not getting the full +1 set because I don't play a lot - that's life but I would like them to make normal soloable without too much trouble by anyone in any 119 gear. Points are just too low on easy - it is awful.

It's not that a post bothers them, it's that you bother enough other people for them to report you. They will strike/ban based on that regardless of what you actually say.

Obviously, we aren't the only ones affected. I'd have put in my two cents into that thread, but kinda can't, on account of being... well, banned already.
Ha, I think I bothered more people before though and I never got banned. I mean, in the past I've seen people on BG railing about me and how much I post and it never resulted in a ban. I haven't seen as much hate lately so I am doubtful it is simply volume. I do think they look at the content somewhat or I would have been banned waaay long time ago. This is the first it's happened though. Maybe it's just random!
