The ls I am in is considered midcore - not hardcore or softcore - yet we are making progress. Sure, I think Ifrit is a d**k but I do not ever want to see him dumbed down to the point everyone, at this time, can do him. I am not interested in that and I have a feeling quite a few others would agree.

I would agree, however, the server lag and all things associated with it does not help in this fight at all. You think you are out of the plumes or eruptions and end up finding out otherwise. That part is irritating and something I hope can be cured sooner rather than later. That is my only complaint about this encounter.

You are not required to do Ifrit. Since you are not required to do him, this thread you have started is moot and a waste of time. You do not need to do Ifrit to progress anywhere in the game - at least for the moment. The resentment that you hold, and the few others that might agree with you, is your own doing. Hold yourself accountable. If this fight is making you angry then it is time to step away and do something else for awhile.
mhmm I agree
