DPS checks vs mechanics

[Judah_Brandt]

Yuki, your implication that people who disagree with you "must not have played good games" is both condescending and short-sighted. While we all are entitled to an opinion of what makes a game functionally good, the fact that you identify the isuue as "Statics breaking apart due to a 3%" margin of a boss' HP is far from a good example as to why DPS checks are bad. You're ultimately arguing against a skill cap, which is foolish. The content is optional, there is a normal mode that you can play. You don't have to subject yourself to the difficult mechanic, and you finding it to be a flaw does in no way mean it is a detriment to gameplay. A DPS check is nothing more than coordination, much like another poster said in regards to Ramuh. Having done all of that content when it was released, your citation that "we probably did it in i210 gear" is inherently wrong. Many, many players defeated these challenges when they were released and difficult. Do not presume to diminish the accomplishments of others so dismissively. If you don't equate coordination with skill, you'd be mistaken. Fun is subjective, as you said. Getting and being good at a game is fun to a lot of people. Accomplishment is fun.
