Why encounters with a difficulty slope are bad

I agree.

Garuda EX is pretty much the perfect fight.
- When average ILVLs were in the mid to lower 90's, difficulty was perfect.
- There was more than one way to complete the challenge.
- Two PLD? Two WHM? No problem. You never fealt like you had to have class diversity; people brought what they wanted.

I personally find Garuda EX boring. The repeating phases makes me bored fast. What I enjoyed was how Twintania, and Ultima change as you fight them. Different attacks and mechanics keeping you on your toes. If they made every fight anything like Garuda, then I'd lose any motivation to play them.
