An open letter to the creator of the primal battles.

[Alhanelem]

but i had to use something to frame this letter

Why did you have to make this "letter" in the first place? An "open letter" is something you get people to 'sign" or add to because people generally agree with you. Any thread starting like this tends to unwittingly assume this agreement.

What they did with the ifrit fight is just one of a number of creative approaches to complicating a fight- one that goes beyond making the next bigger TP move that drops your HP to 1 and resets enmity. This isn't something to complain about. Just because this one fight had this one unique element, doesn't mean that every single boss battle is going to use the concept.

the dev guy who made this battle said he was upset that it was defeated within 4

I could *see* him being upset *with himself* because he failed to make it as impossible as he apparently wanted, but he shouldn't be upset that people beat it quickly. The hardcore players for whom the challenge was built are very resourceful, and they always find a way to beat everything. If 4 days was too fast, what would have been OK? A week, a month?
