Looking at this from an alternate perspective, I don’t necessarily think it’s the activity itself that’s promoting these types of experiences but rather the “Godslayer”. Many players seeking the Pantheon seal may see it as the ultimate bragging right. With that said, given that the opportunity to earn said title is time-sensitive, many players don’t want to [i]waste[/i] time teaching or carrying or wiping. However, as the weeks progress, these players may very well be advanced into later challenges, making the earlier Pantheon difficulty levels more accessible.

The problem is that we don't need anymore bragging rights. I don't speak for everyone, but I run into players everyday who are tired of other players bragging about crap. In fact, I don't even tell LFGs my clear counts when I join them because even if I'm doing it in a self deprecating way "I have 1500 clears, my life is clearly in shambles lol", people think I'm an @sshole.
We need more players reaching the end of these activities, and a more understanding community in general.
I mean hell, I read somewhere that we can't even complete the final campaign until someone clears the day 1 raid. Literally stopping the DLC and making everybody watch Twitch (cuz let's face it, that's who's getting it first, playing the game as a job has its benefits) to finish this 10 year saga is exceptionally cringe and ego driven.
It's just not good. People should be encouraged to play, not watch, the game.
