Are the "explore" modes made for primarily 70/80s?

Need to be 80 and have good defensive gear and abilities. I seriously doubt level 40’s can do this in exploration mode.
Explorable mode is the hard-mode if you wish. And I would think its for 70-80. Its supposed to be hard, and require alot of effort to accomplish.
Pugs will wipe a couple of times in these types of dungeons, until they start coordinating.. You probably just had bad groups.
Just bad groups.
But I must say if you are looking for good groups. The chances of getting good folks will be higher if you look for lv80 players.
Although being at 70/80 does give many advantages both in gear/traits and gameplay experience. AC explorable is perfectly doable with a well coordinated team of 40s.
Anet have stated (and in my experience this is very true) that Explorables are designed to be done with coordinated groups (voice com ideal), where people spec to synergise with each other using combo fields etc.
Having a decent few players who bring flexible specs to handle what the dungeon has, coordinate conditions and boons, food buffs will make your dungeon runs much much smoother.
Me and my friends cleared AC path 1 explorable in 31 mins with 3 people, myself and a guardian both at 80 and a level 45 mesmer.
As a note PUG groups in general are not run and set up very well and more often than not will be a complete headache. If you are interested in dungeons finding a nice PvE guild is the best thing I could reccomend. Also dont think that all guilds are super hardcore and not fun, being prepared and organised doesnt take the fun out of the game :P
If they are the “hard” mode of the dungeon and you pretty much have to be 70-80 to run then you shouldnt be able to start running AC at lv35.
