this was taken 2/28 which was before the neft that lowered the amount of hp on the mobs and reduced the number of minions. i guess i was right.
Well I specifically said January. By 28/2 every high rank linkshell on my server was regularly farming it. You're comparing different time periods. Shit changes, people develop better strategies, THMs figure out how to use Emulate etc. My original point was that LSs would have been zerging it by booting dead in January (you're expected to assume mid month when no actual date is given) when they were unable to defeat it with strategy had there been the option.

On a side note, Wutai was a bit behind the curve with Dodore. The doublets were selling for 5mil on other servers by the time linkshells here were farming it. They stayed 10-15mil on this server until the nerf.

I just don't want to see unskilled players beating mobs without strategy before they've learned how to fight it. People will do anything to take down a mob on the first attempt if given the options. I've seen a Dodore fight that lasted an hour that included multiple wipes, the guys were exploiting something to keep claim and reset the rage timer. That's the poor man's way of zerging. They couldn't boot their dead. They just reset, kept claim and restarted. Don't make it easy for them.

You gave a good solution to the problem in your earlier post so there's not much to debate.
