To the OP. I'm sorry but most of what you say is untrue. First, you can beat ifrit in crappy DZM gear so your whole thing about must have the best gear to do ifrit is wrong. Second, the only thing anyone should die from is plumes.. That's all, no excuses! I'm only saying this if you have no idea about how ifrit positioning works. Third, "we" are not all equal so why are you trying to make it seem like everyone has the same amount of skill. Those with better skill and more time to spend at this game will no doubt be rewarded better than those that are just not that great.
Lastly, the only problem that this game has at the moment with the current content is animation lock. However, if you're doing ifrit you should know better than to get into a animation you can't get out of when he is about to TP. Use common sense, it's not hard at all anymore. Enough with the whining and just practice more if you fail.
I say all this from doing over 100 ifrits.
