I was trio'ing with some LS members on my THM and I was taking care of any links since I could kill them pretty instantly and normally we would only get one link at a time.
Thing that bums me out is, with the current monster groupings and respawn rates, but also no crowd control abilities, its almost like you need to have 8 person TP burn parties to successfully party. Small man parties are much more difficult to create and find manageable areas due to this. Seems the overall direction is TP burn to cap and that is when the game will really begin! Dungeons! Yay! Unfortunately most people won't understand the basic mechanics of the game because they zerged their way to the end....makes me sad.

Guess its my experiences with FFXI but I actually enjoy having challenging 'grinding' to cap.

sorry will stop ranting...
