We can divide the people who are attempting to do titan extreme into three groups: New people who are having fun trying to do the fight for the first time, people who have completed the fight and no longer wish to risk countless hours of attempts due to a person who hasn't done the fight as much as they have (punctuated with an Ifrit extreme check), and then there are the people stuck in the middle. The middle guys and gals that know where to stand, when to dodge, and how to do their job, but are constantly held back from victory because the only people they can ever group with are those with less experience and skill than themselves.

If the fight is to be kept at its current difficulty, than we need tools to gauge player skill more effectively. Like hours spent doing a given fight, dps meters, and other things considered standard issue in other MMOs. If not, then the fight should be toned down so that people don't spend ludicrous amounts of time here. 30+ hours wiping due to a revolving door of players of limited experience doesn't cut it here.
