What is it hard to acquire Garden of Salvation Memento in D2?

Since the memento is a raid-related item, there might be difficulties for many players to obtain it. Let’s break down why it might be hard:

• Content preferences. Statistically, many guardians skip the raiding part of the game because they prefer content of a different type, such as PvP, story campaigns, seasonal missions, and others. Raid completion seems unrealistic from their perspective;
• Finding a strong team. You can find a team within the in-game finder, but it’s a time-consuming process. Besides, engaging in the raid with random guardians in most cases leads to numerous wipes during a run;
• Insufficient experience in raiding. Although Garden of Salvation is not the most difficult raid, full completion requires high-level communication, knowledge of all the mechanics, and strong builds for characters. These aspects take dozens of hours of preparation.
