Has anyone ever had any luck with SE support? I need to remove the token (which was on some iphone from the distant past) from my account (which I can't long onto to remove said token because I don't have said token), but several support tickets seem to simply be ignored.
Live chatting with a support person online helped me to resolve that exact problem. They need to use alternative ways of proving your identity, but they weren't too harsh about it.

I can't remember exactly where you can access the live support.

I think they just need to make glamours weaken enemies, including primals and raids. If you can get enough votes on your cool costume, you can substitute it for mechanics.

Had two healers bail on my first run through Great Gubal Library today. The second one was on the final boss, where he claimed we simply didn't have enough DPS to finish him. Apparently he was convinced we should never even be getting to the third summon (where you need 3 people to stand on each spot to prevent them). Once we got comfortable with planning that part of the fight it was incredibly easy...

I'm certainly not saying that people talking about DPS numbers are wrong, but it's really funny to me when people start spouting off about numbers but actually have no idea what the problem is.

This would continue the trend of turning old, abandoned content into something that's run primarily by screaming children that throw a fit when things don't go perfectly even though they just rushed through everything without waiting or explaining a drat thing to the confused newbies. Only in CT, this would actually be hilarious and tons of fun, so I hope they do this.
Yeah I mean, reading through your first sentence all I could think was that it sounds like how CT already was after about a week.

EDIT: Also if they update CT at all, they need to somehow make it completely necessary to tank Bone Dragon in the south of the room.

So I'm still not really sure how gearing at 60 works past Law. How do you upgrade the Antiquated gear?

And also what's my general strategy? Gear with 60 dungeons and Law until I can do Alex and then do Alex?
Upgrading Antiquated gear is past Esoterics tomes, not just past Law.

You upgrade Antiquated stuff with items you get from Alexander Savage.

EDIT: And yes to the second part. Additionally, get Centurio Seals (by doing Heavensward hunts) and use them to upgrade your Law gear. You can also use even more Law tomes to upgrade Law gear, but when you're first getting geared that's not as reasonable.

medium buffs to mnk
For my cool MNK bros:

-Meditation recast down from 1.5s to 1.2s
-Forbidden Chakra: after casting, delay before next action reduced
-Tornado Kick: cooldown down from 60s to 40s
-Greased Lightning 1/2/3: Damage Buff up from 9/18/27% to 10/20/30% at 1/2/3 respectively, duration up from 12s to 14s at all levels.

I would love if they just keep continuing to make Monk more pleasant to play as they seem to be doing.

As Flames on Aether, the hivemind of the Adders has become a running joke at this point. One common observation is that they're quite consistent about attacking whichever opponent is at lesser risk of going on to win the game. Because clearly it's more important to squabble over the #2 spot than it is to stop #1 from sailing to an easy victory.
My theory is just that the Badders is the most satisfying nickname, so it sticks the most. The Lames and Failstrom just aren't quite as fun.

I will cede to you that time is an important factor but, please, consider the amount of wasted time the average raid team occupies with repeating the same error over and over again without change. "Oh, we wiped to Digititus again, great mechanic SE, pulling in 10. <se.6>" I'm willing to bet that most groups struggling with A3S will chalk something up to RNG or server ticks or whatever rather than something like player movement and that wastes far more hours than learning to play X class on Y fight.
There are groups like this, but you're speculating pretty baselessly on who falls into that category.

If raiders were good they could clear A3S at level 1 with no gear on. Anything that makes your character stronger is a crutch for cupcakes.
