Which I found funny because I'd never had a wipe on that with a PUG until about 2 months after it was added and I was one of the first people to clear it on my server.

The same happened with Shinryu in SB.

We need to gate more stuff behind trials that require ppl to actually think and have at least basic knowledge of what a battle mechanic is and how their job is supposed to perform... >.>

This isn't your 90's offline console RPG where you can just cheese everything with your gameshark, game genie, or action replay. I sorely miss a great deal of the additional variables from FFXI where damage types and elements had an extremely noticeable impact on damage dealt and received and making the leader of one of my linkshells delvl every time we went to sky because he would never get an exp buffer :3
