Raids are like this too. Master difficulty is a slog every time. I felt that was a miss from day 1 because it's just GM raids, where the mechanics are the same, the enemies just have more HP and there are more champions. For the record, I have every raid seal except swordbreaker because I just flat haven't gone after it yet, so I'm not saying this from a position of not being good enough to do it. I just hate doing it now. It's not fun. I really liked the older raid seals where it was doing the mechanics a specific way and getting a flawless run was the way to do it. Now it's just LFG groups banging their heads against the wall doing the same old mechanics until a triumph pops out.
