1. Lore book states that we only fight certain fights with adventurers and most of the others alone.
2. It makes no sense and it is a MMO so of course you will have differences between gameplay and lore. Or would you say that we go in dungeons again and again too?
We have not made ingame contact to that many adventurers on the first and as we saw with steps of faith, not every adventurers like to do something dangerous. We also went in there and did not know that we would have to fight our way through and were kinda there in secret until the end. So how were those 23 other people here?
How did we get the people to fight against Thordan if we only travel to Azys LLa the first time (a completely unknown zone) and are only there with the scions? Other people cant teleport there. Also how did they escape? We are the only ones on Middys back and only managed to make it out thanks to him?
Why is nobody of those 23 other people (since we also need at least that amount on the source too) that can keep up with us not ever mentioned in the story itself? Why are we the only one getting rewards and thanks? Were are we finding all those echo users that are at our strenght but are somehow not part of the scions?
Why would someone like Zenos only see us as "friend" even though we first only managed to beat him up with three other people and then needed another four more (who also came out of thin air) to beat him and Shinryu combined.

@LineageRazor: Yeah lets poke fun at those that just feel that a lot of fights would not make sense with other people and seeing how its even like that in the lore book itself and other languages like the german one often dont have that tongue in cheek mentioning of adventurers just fishing nearby and other stuff..
A WHM also has DPS attacks and I doubt that the fights would even happen like they do ingame. Or how is in your opinion an WHM suddenly able to defeat monsters like Ranjit? How was she able to defeat Innocence, a fight which was 100% done solo because in canon we go into this with only the scions and they are staying back.
