That’s what I don’t understand; why would they struggle against another player when they can work together with the other (partying) to achieve same goal? Those players are basically playing some part in limiting themselves from potential gains.

Precisely. The idea was to see the skirmish icon in map as our ‘countdown timer’. The one I mentioned had a small skit before bosses becomes targetable. I have never missed getting gold rating from that one. It’s very handy.

Now if only other skirmishes can get the same treatment. “Seeq and You Will Find it.” (Red Chocobos) also had a skit but it doesn’t become visible in map until everything become targetable (sadly).
