The 2hour lock strategy was not 100% if it even worked at all and the main problem with AV was Meteor which spelled game over.

How did they intend for individuals to deal with Meteor? Even if you managed to get AV down to bracelets mode (where the real battle began), it was very likely you'd run into a bout with Meteor.

All this precision 2houring - where exactly were the hints? How exactly would one deduce without SEs help that you need to match 2hours to cause a reaction in Absolute Virtue?

Why was the AV "video" so poorly shot? There is a reason that people mock the "zooming into a chatlog" portion afterall.
