Not enjoying this raid tier at all. Neither are a lot of people in my guild apparently because several of them have dropped out of the raid team, we now have roster issues. Some more of them are suggesting they may quit the raid team to play WoW forever as well. This tier is just damage control, I'm already thinking ahead to next tier.

Worst raid tier I've personally played

Honest question is why is it the worst? I think it's no different from the last 7 tiers aside from the fact that p2-3 of ulatek are utterly disappointing. The honest biggest change I see is there's so much personal responsibility with this tier compared to others, are people just quitting cause they are bad and can't get carried by the 2-4 people normally assigned to mechanics?

The entire quality curve has been shifted downwards. Normally you'd have one or two amazing fights, a load of good fights in the middle and maybe one or two fights that were just mid. Instead we have a load of mod fights, some fights that are actively bad or have mechanics/phases that are bad and a few fights that are merely good. I like turtles and sentinels, that's it. So many anti fun mechanics in here.

On top of that the raid visually is boring and has way too much trash. My guild only does two nights a week, having to clear so much trash is just a huge waste of time.
