How PL'ing killed FFXIV.

[Jennestia]

Part of what made him unbeatable for so long was the narrow minds of the community. It was always throw KC DRKs at it or throw SAMs at it. None ever stopped to think about efficient new ways of killing him. Truthfully the way I think SE intended to kill him was to make Linkshell's work together.

Which is exactly how the first legit kill of AV was done, multiple Linkshells working together. I believe it was mostly western shells that exploited bugs and and whatnot to kill it, i.e the SCH Modus Vertias exploit, which required bots or exceptional timing as it required an alliance of SCHs to have perfect timing to turn 1 Helix into a 100,000 dmg nuke+DoT.
