Rant about Shinryu Farm/Clear parties

[Huntington]

I'll quote what a GameFAQs user said about it, and it's 100% to a tee what's going on:
"The reason for this is to try to catch raiders, not townies or huntboys.
There is a huge learning difference with 8 raiders marrying down compared to 8 townies trying to marry up.

If they could require 3 savage victories, you bet your a** they would because I don't want to play shinryu with people who haven't beaten 3 either. You're talking 3-4 times the learning curve length.

335, at least right now, proves the person has done at least some high energy content and isn't just a pony farmer."

Those groups with Genji weapons and full 340 are going to start trickling out of the PFs now after getting in killing it hard and maybe farming a little but dropping out soon after. They aren't in this for the long haul, the pony farmers are. The DPS checks are going to start being tighter, the heal checks being failed, and so on because the fight is still moderately difficulty at some parts. Savage Raiders will be skipping mechanics and clearing faster, and with them shuffling out the "Farm" groups are going to seem preposterous, and the practice groups are going to struggle.
