1 year old by now. that stuff should be doable by 3 people: tank healer dps by now, everythign else is just bonus.

I've personally seen Titan, Garuda, and Ifrit HM finished by only 3 people and each time was long after the rest of the group wiped. So what you're asking for is possible with skilled people. You just can't choose to enter with less than 8. You're whining that something should be possible that is indeed possible.
