This would probably soften the verbal abuse going on in those fights too.

Failing that at least provide a way to train these fights solo first?
I'm going to be honest here:

I watched videos and read strategies online on how to do ultima hard and garuda EX.
While I knew somewhat what to expect I didn't actually "learn" to act in those fights before I basically practiced it in DF over and over.
Because I could only practice in DF that meant that everyone unfortunate enough to be there had no hope of getting kills before I eventually managed to adapt my skills to the various stages of the fight.

I don't think this is fair to me or anyone else playing. Plus everytime I signed up I had this terrible quilt for not being pro at it yet. It almost made me not want to play and when I expressed my newb-ness other players would jump ship right away.
