Tiamat, HE's Dragons- Can't be beat if no one is running them

I understand the need to make the content more challenging but these have been bumped way to far up. What was the logic behind making the mobs several levels above the player cap? Was the goal to make the content so difficult that the majority of the player base would quit, because that seems to be exactly what's happpening. Honestly go to Wells during dragons, its as ghost town especially around the dragons and HEs. Tiamat, best I have seen in four tries was the summoners were beaten, lots of fire campers and quitters, if they weren't dc'ed. My toon was on top of the damage board in each match. The dungeons are tough but atleast they can be beaten with a good party, but honestly it all needs to be dialed back down to an achievable level if you don't want to lose the already disgruntaled player base who are now re-grinding all their gear. No players = no money.

i think someone made a post weeks ago claiming that 80% of the playerbase was unhappy (i'm not sure if he had any evidence too though) and it caught on. Now everyone unhappy with the new content claim that ~80% or more of the playerbase is unhappy.
Edit: i found the poll
<http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?881441-what-do-you-think-of-mod-6-(player-feedback)>
there are 501 voters but i really don't believe they stand for the entire playerbase since i know a lot of players who don't ever go to the forums, whether they like or dislike mod 6.
Haven't voted in it either since i was prolly levelling my toons when it was made
i have to point out first, i think that -and judging from some other posts from other forums members i am not alone with this- you are working really hard on the rightfully deserved forum-troll-of-the-month title.
but on a more serious note... i for oni am with you on this idea. partly, at least. because in mod5 i'd said: great idea, do it. but in mod 6. nah, not so much. in the guild (quite active, pvp & pve, mix ouf casual and hardcore players) i am in... in mod 5 i can't remember a time i logged in and there where less than 10 player online. that'll be great for tiamat queues. but the most players online i've seen in the last 7 days at one single time were three (and that includes me). so please... who the f-word should i private queue with for what exactly?
@yawulf
only cryptic knows for sure and they won't tell. but what i know is a) according to a random poll >80% of the players participated hate mod 6 b) the number of people online in my guild droped by my more than 75% at any given time c) i myself only devote a minmum of my playtime to nwo, while i am checking out other mmorpg at the same time. granted this may be subjective. but really one perpon saying "the majority of players like it" and then go on with "I... I... I...". well, let's just say imo you can also only give your subjective opinion. which not fits with a lot of other players complains.
There are multiple dragon runs in WoD each hour. Killing all 5 dragons is common already. The only real problem concerning this aspect is the necessity to lower the graphic settings to avoid too much lag ...
Dragons in the lower zones are killed often too.
Most complains like your are over exaggerated, how do you expect to be taken seriously ?

It's probably time to pull your head out of your ***. Or leave that cavern you've been living in.
You can totally do the 5 dragons in Wod, even more if you get a good rushing party.
The problem is. THE FREAKIN LAG.
Im really curious about what causes it.
People are blaming DCs astral seal/shield.
People are also blaming Paladins auras (lulz) / prism ( ok this one seems legit)
Fix your stuff Cryptic.
Ps; also, doing the heralds in Wod is a fantastic way to make money.
80% out of how's many votes? The guild I find ma self in
( Thieves World ) depending on the time of the day since mod 4 is aba 3 or 4 pages of ppl playing.its only natural u look for alternatives even the most successful mmo WOW had a drop in subs from 12mill to 8 mil early last year. Still waiting for the number of ppl who took part in that suppose poll u guys keep referring to else I can't take u serious
What you say is simply not true.
I do the dragontrain myself almost every hour and mostly we have 3-4 instances FULL of players.
That is 3 or 4 x 40 players in WoD on the dragons.
The greater artifact belt drop from them among other stuff.
So beside the fun it is rewarding.
...and we can't take you serious because you type like a mentally challenged 4 year old.
This game is dead.
Ps I clearly said that dragon can be done, but the effort vs reward wasn't worth it. That's more a design (non) flaw by Cryptic to keep you spending money quickly.
pps Now that I'm thinking about it, that's WAI. Fits right in with Tia being impossible currently and not being able to earn more favors. I can't fathom why anyone who came in on this mod would stay unless they had more money than brains.
I am playing anywhere from two to twelve hours a day and equally cannot find an instance or time when players are actually running the dragons in Wells. If you know of a time when this is happening please enlighten us all.
I was in a full instance last night with three players (four if you count me) evaluating even trying to fight the dragons. Everyone else was just hanging about the fire. I have done tiamat daily for nearly a week without success. The closest any group has come is one head down to about 40%.
So in my opinion this is not an "over exaggeration" and perhaps it is you who should reevaluate your position. Just because you are having success does not mean that everyone else is. A lot of people who play this game daily are experiencing difficulty with the new Mod 6 content, so the question is really "are you sure your actually playing this game" because if you were, you would not be making snide comments and instead be helping find solutions so that other players can continue to enjoy the game as well.
I am online activly playing four to twelve hours a day depending on life activities. Tell me what time of day (inc time zone) you are out killing the dragons in wells and I will be there. I have been looking, standing by the dragon and watched other players avoid the area entirely. So I really want to know when this is supposedly happening so I can join the fun.
Enorla, Oh so devoted cleric.
Tiamat.. not so much.
Read zone chat, ask for invites in advertised instances and enjoy your 40 man dragon fight. Sometimes it may be lag city depending on the spells people use, like two paladins spamming prism or not.
It's often a bad idea to turn zone chat off in a MMO anyway because it's a premium source of information about what's happening right now on that map. Even in PE you can learn more about events, in levelling zones, you can find team for heroics, pvp in icewind dale, and so on.
