From Mog to you: Darkhold full clear, 4 chests, 20 minutes remaining.

but it seems that no one wants to actualy kill mobs in the dungeons...and thats a bit disturbing in itself

lots of people grind on those mobs. Its good exp and there is more then enough to grind on. But if you have a full party of 50s who get no exp anyways and their intent is to get chests and kill the final boss, there is really no reason to fight the fodder on the way unless you have to.

The 20 min left on the dungeon run speaks about the overall difficulty that was faced.

Use the same set up they did and do it all in the same time. Then come back and tell us how easy it was. Ever think that maybe they are just good players?

For something that is "easy mode" I sure see alot of parties with the exact same setup attempt the dungeon and eat sh*t consistently.

This is what i meant by both parties not wanting to admit the other.
Anything that is not an agreement or a praise just ends up with the other party jumping at the others throats.
I have yet to have seen any posts that question the other party, and is NOT replied with either a belittling or sarcastic undertone.

the thing is when you watch a video it looks easy, but that is because they are good players, not because the content is easy. you could try the same set up and repeatedly fail and that is what many groups are doing. my point is everyone calling 3 arc easy mode is full of shit and most likely hasn't even tried it.

after watching these videos, what i found most interesting is that we run the dungeon pretty much exactly as the op's linkshell has and we've had zero contact with them. all it is practice and figuring out what works best...experimenting. linkshell's that just copy get nowhere and will always remain behind.

What do you expect? You're saying stuff like this:

since its well aware from both NA and JP sides that the setup is easy mode.

Says who? The only people claiming it to be "easy mode" are those failing to provide any evidence of completion. Meanwhile, all of the decent linkshells are respectful enough to post information they have in regards to the instance. So if you're gonna run into someone's helpful topic to condescend to them about how "this is easy mode" and "youre using this set-up" etc, etc, then yea... you're gonna met with equal aggression. /shrug.
