GATE: Leap of Faith - Too many people to perform mechanics easily

I'll quote something I wrote in the Duty Finder thread several months ago:

Oh well, I'm getting the rhythm down.

Even if the FFXIV X FFXV event ended, you still have people doing the event for the 2 million MGP mount since it was released.

Nowadays, I just take a little extra time to angle my jumps and focus on getting from one platform to the next. I already got my Golden cactaur collection achievements, so no rush for me on my end.

Personally haven't had much problem with it. I feel the extra people are just more obstacles that make the event more challenging and fun, but guess that's just me.

They didn't make it any more fun trying to do hunts in 2.x (especially back when I was on PS3) and they don't make it any more fun here.

Why should your fellow players just be serving as "obstacles" in an event with zero competitive element? That kind of goes against the spirit of a primarily-cooperative MMO, don't you think?
