/Accuse @ the devs: have you set us up to fail...?

Players should not be stepping into The Royal Menagerie at all until they finish their lvl 70 job quest. If not only for that last job skill, it's to at least get their 290 gear. I really feel like the fight should be completely gated until players finish their last quest. Heck, I'd even venture far enough to be an advocate of gating off Ala Mhigo until then, just for lore purposes. A huge chunk of jobs just aren't complete without that lvl 70 job skill, and the skill completes the job in many ways. Dark Knights get a pretty quick, almost overpowered shield, Paladins get Passage of Arms, hell, SMNs are not complete at all until they finish the Lvl 70 quest.

ya really, and Ala mhigo might of been tolerable but this was a BLM without foul/ilevel 285 weapon in The Drowned City of Skalla....
entry requirement i300 is not enough to block that apparently.

This is why I think the title heading " /Accuse @ the devs: have you set us up to fail...? " has truth in it.

THERE IS NO REASON someone at 70 , a BLM at 70 to be specific, be entering the last level 70 current DF like The Drowned City of Skalla (of this posting, the highest 4 man) without foul, without an ilevel 300 + weapon, while having a rotation of fire I and fire III spam on 5+ targets, rare to see fire II, no flare, no convert , no thunder, no thunder aoe, and as said earlier, no foul....

COME ON!!! bad game design if people find that ok.

This is not bad game design, it's more a community thing : You let those people slide and get carried, even though the information of how to perform better in their role is there.

If you guys don't crack down on these players, nothing will change.
