Changing standards

When things become easy enough that you don't even consider the possibility of failure, they become routine and boring. Zakum was fun back when it was actually considered a threatening boss and it took 3+ parties to take it down. Now I usually go on runs with 1-2 parties, where a third to a half of the people are just buying helms, and the rest of us down it in 20-30 minutes. I just go for the easy money. Pap is the same way. It's less repetitive than grinding, but it's still a pretty routine solo. I prefer duoing or going with parties of random 3rd jobbers, even if it isn't as good for me.
