Yes, for real. The Praetorium was an 8-man dungeon that is now a light party dungeon. Overall, big improvement. The ARR CT raids WOULD be a good place for new players to experience alliance raiding, except the difficulty of the raid is laughable and mechanics are barely present. A full MINE alliance should not have to be the only option for new players to begin experiencing alliance level mechs. Of course, combat gets easier with time and repetition so my view is also that of someone who has done these raids a lot, but I've also done Dun Scaith and other HW raids that don't elicit the same dread.
Maybe this will be less of an issue with the roulette system changes at 8.0. But I know it's hardly any fun for a sprout to run to the next boss or get teleported to a mob and the work is basically done already. One of the few ways I can see a positive change is in size of group, moving it to MSQ roulette or changes to difficulty. It would be nice to see more clear requirements for cooperation between alliances or something else to just spice it up. Bottom line: they're not fun at all as they are now and some change to ARR content is necessary and good. Curious what other people think about what can be changed to CT raids that can still keep the spirit of large group content and be more engaging for vets as well. I can also accept I'll just despise them as they are now and nothing will change about and really, that's ok too
