Well, if you need a certain item with reaper bonus, you will ask your kind friends to help you. If you have 1-2 slots open in party, you won't pug, because the pugger will surely get it and loot it - it's murphy's law. XD
So don't have high hopes for lot of LFM, people will do reaper with friends / guilds mostly.
People who didn't pug before, won't pug now. Let's not blame it on the difficulty, Reaper 1 through 5 (6? 7?) are very easily puggable, even for just a couple of spots.
People who pugs now, will keep doing it.
Seems like the problem with this difficulty is the mentality of the so-called Elitists, not the difficulty itself.
I don't think reaper is very pug friendly. The last thing I want to do while I am on the TR train is to wipe in a group because someone set the reaper level to a point that the group cant handle it. I agree the game could use additional challenge but I am not sure reaper as it is currently implemented is the right way to go. IMO reaper would work better as an end game feature not as an additional difficulty.

How exactly is that Reaper's fault? Don't play Reaper if you (general you) think you cannot handle it. This is also why Reaper's XP should be the same as Elite.
And wiping is not bad, that is just players' mentality used to roflstomp from 1 to 30. Regroup, retry, lower difficulty, succeed.
The party leader sets the difficulty level the random person joining the PUG has no say. Wiping is inefficient that's why it would be better when you are running for other motivation other than xp/min (ie at cap). Though tbh if Reapers xp is the same as Elite I will likely not run it as efficiency is the most important thing to me 1-30. I just hope this doesn't fragment the player base more than it already is I just cant see how it wont.

I mean, don't join that pug then? I really see no issues. If you see a pug for Reaper, don't join it if you think it's gonna be a waste of time.
You want to run Reaper for more XP, but at the same time you don't want to get more XP for facing more challenge. Sorry, I don't agree with you.
