Moogle fight = Good. Everything else = What the ****?

It's bad enough we have to compete for NMs. Or that we can't see what the **** we're doing 90% of the time due to the stupid tress. Or that those same trees link with the aggro enemies in the zone.

The moogle fight itself? Cool. It's challenging, and it's something different.
But to have to do this crap every time? Maybe it's a bug SE just hasn't addressed yet? This is a great example of what not to do. This isn't challenging, it's just tedious, and lousy design. No one's going to want to keep fighting Mog when we have to keep doing this.

If no one will keep doing it then that will take care of the competition at least.

Competition is least of the worries, infact you find most people willing to help each other.

I agree with the OP this isn't how you do good content, I see no reason why you have to do this more than once anyway, that includes farming for the ifrit latern aswell, its just convoluted bullshit.
