doin' a fight lowman is not only hard because you are less people.. it's harder because everyone have a important role and you can't do mistake, so in that way you can demonstrate your skills in the game... when you are 18 people you can do your part but you can also go afk a couple of mins. and no one notice it ... go fight Vrtra in 1 pt and you'll find the challenge: you have to do a perfect fight! ...and I'm not talking about the reward, because when you stop caring about the reward for doin' something, doin' something is its own reward... the challenge IS THE FIGHT, not the reward... because I can PAY some gils to an LS group that fight Rani for me, I can stay in /sit & /clap and get my Epona Ring... this is not the challenge...
