I love the lvl 15 Gladiator quest.

Usually the cutscene will "mark" your intended targets by making them red/aggro on you, so you know which ones to fight and which ones to let the NPCs handle. The GLD 15 fight doesn't do that until those two Lala THMs appear, so yeah, so are the only two you're really supposed to tackle on your own.

The only fights I've had trouble with so far have been the later arcanist ones and the rogue/ninja ones, because the fights are fairly chaotic and a lot of things are happening all at once. The ROG 30 one took me 3-4 tries, mostly because I didn't know where the bombs were the first time, and I didn't deal with the NPCs effectively for the next few attempts. That was really irritating, but since I just respawned and tried again immediately afterward, it was also classic video game-esque.

He is just pointing out that the weak mobs for the players are only lalafells while the big targets that the NPC takes care of are elezen and hyurs. Meaning that the devs consider lalafells as losers....
