Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Purrfectstorm]

I bought my first Titan EX win for 300k gil. A good chunk of my money was refunded when a tank DC'ed and I took over and lived to the end, never getting hit by anything. I was stuck on that fight for a while so nobody can say I just didn't put the time in. I must've tried that fight hundreds of times. Finally I just got so frustrated by being stuck that I paid for the win, which since I knew the fight inside and out was just paying for other competent players at that point.

I'm not at all ashamed. I look at buying wins only in pragmatic terms: will the group actually win, can I afford the gil, and is there a point in clearing this piece of content right now? Since I knew the group and making 300k takes me about 2 hours (much less than the 50 or so I spent on Titan), it was really only the last part that concerned me.

Since everyone assured me that the other EX primals were easier and I wanted to start farming them while the gear was still relevant, it was an easy decision. I shelled out the gil and have been happier ever since. Of course SE will probably see how many people have the achievement and conclude that Titan EX is perfectly fine as is

Completely opposite of you here. Titan is without a doubt my favorite fight. I stayed pugging for a bit learning his mechanics. Finally downed it in a pug group after a week felt good cause I told my bf I'd never pay for a win. said the same thing when HM was considered a problem. Now I continuously hop in pugs and run titan ex for fun.
