Current State of End-Game Contents - A Blog Post from A Japanese Player

Fights that are difficult without instant wipes from 1 persons tiny mistake. This is possible, as its in many MMORPG.

Or make bringing someone new through much more rewarding. Because as it currently stands the myth bonus is only used as a flag to seek out and assassinate new players.

That's basically what I was suggesting earlier. Largely the tightness of the fights is due to the focus on needing a certain amount of damage to make it through. I've been playing a lot of MMOs recently both past and present and greatly prefer the older system where there are no damage per second checks as much as control checks. The primary reason being that it lets less skilled players into end game fights without being dead weight by putting them in charge of simpler mechanics.
