    Most games have what's known as a dominating strategy. For example in Chess, the dominating strategy is the no-move move. That is, the AI calculates what happens if the player gets 2 moves in a row and attempts to counter it, knowing that if it was able to counter it, it clearly has found an incredibly strong move and there's no need to think about anything else. If we're building Titan-bot (which has to obey all aggro/targeting/CD rules), the dominating strategy of Titan-bot is 'kill the tank'. Its most potent tool to kill the tank is obviously the Mountain Buster. Gaol is another dominating strategy since it cannot be countered, and if it traps the player's healer it makes your job a lot easier. So Titan-bot's sequence will always look like: Gaol -> ??? -> MB. As it gets more experience, the ??? part will become clearer, and you can be certain it will always open with Gaol and end with Mountain Buster because these are the best opening/ending moves.

    Scripted fights are fine as long as you have enough content to move on to the next one and are not forced to repeat it too often. With the additional content coming our way (Crystal Tower and mystery dungeon), that should help to alleviate the repetition.

    The fact is it wont, you know it and I know it, it is wishful thinking. Players will do the hm dungeons and find they are not worth the effort and than SR wp or they will find it worth their time and do it. As I have said before some not all coil groups may farm Crystal Tower for the gear but than gain seeing you can skip Crystal Towers and get the gear from myth and coil, the gear from Crystal Towers is practically useless seeing you can do coil in darklight and win.
