The Ifrit Fight is Dangerous to the Community.

Neither is dumbed down (Hyper) content. That's like, nearly, almost, but not quite there end game.

Isn't that the idea, though?

No, because your complaint is that end game should be accessible to all players. What you're striving to get is not end game. It's dumbed down content, that is not the same difficulty as whatever version is harder than it. Therefore it is not the endgame.

Endgame is endgame. It is one difficulty. One size does not fit all.

ps: I like taking words and twisting them.

I see. Well, this is about endgame and instanced content in general, not just Ifrit. Anyway, it's getting late, and I have to go get some sleep.

I will leave this question with you people: Should instanced endgame content have variable difficulty modes, while Primal/Unique Boss fights have ONLY one difficulty mode? I'm actually starting to warm up to this idea.

the answer you will wake up to is: no

I see what you are trying to do, and the answer is NO.

An instanced dungeon, take Dzemael for example, Batraal is the final boss of a stronghold, where countless adventurers and dragons have died inside, he deserves to be strong and challenging just like Ifrit, his fortress should be well fortified against invaders (us players). Thinking that an instance endgame of anything should have a dumbed down alternative just because it's not a primal or unique boss fight is absurd.

Instance is a merely way to avoid the inevitable competition resulted from a crowded server, competition like that brings out the worst of people, MPK, interfering during the fight, doing whatever it takes in order to claim the mob and have a shot at an item you want. Instance is an answer only to that problem, it provides you with access to the content, whether you can down it or not depends on your skill to overcome the content.

Frankly, if you are a baddie, you don't deserve to see the boss go down.

Practice makes perfect, spending your time here whining/arguing won't make you dodge eruption next time.

It also helps with the issue of other parties being in the same area causing lag for some players or crashing the server if too many players are concentrated in one area.
