Thanks for the feedback! It's great to see groups forming again and we're happy you're enjoying the content.
Minor spoilers below
Causeway is tough for a single group (some of the bosses are designed for a raid as well). We did test the zone with a single non donor group (I think they had a couple donor weapons) but of course we know how all the different npcs interact first hand, so that's an advantage.
It does get easier once you complete some of the tasks in the zone. Although it's a sandbox zone and some of it can be completed out of order, there's a logical order of tasks that will provide a path of least resistance. The first of those revolve around the zone greeter and his allies (7 tasks and then 1 final task). For a non donor group, completing all of those tasks should be the initial priority, because completing each will grant you an item that'll help kill certain targets faster. Ultimately, you end up with a single item for each character that will greatly mitigate the power of all Blighted targets. The item also has a hidden power that'll significantly ease the difficulty of a later task.
Other than that, you just need to pay attention to what certain classes of trash do. Some crowd control does actually work too.
