Shinryu Ex needs a nerf

[RiyahArp]

It doesn't need a nerf, but they really need to stop doing 8 man raid fights that seem to have a short shelf life when relevant, and have tons of incentive to wait for overgearing. Thordan had the same issue. There's too many perverse incentives with hard content. If all you want is a weapon for glamour and a mount, it's actually easier to do when the fight is irrelevant, which makes it harder for people to do like the OP.

The is a mistake that lots of people make; to think that hard content is only for gear/glams. Only for Ilvl increase. The greatest reward for raiding content, extreme or savage, is the clear itself. That's pretty much it for all MMO's out there. People are in for the challenge, , the thrill of the fight and eventually gearing up to challenge the next content. It's pretty much how hardcore content on mmo's work.

It actually works this way. The ones who want to do it on the appex of the content will clear it and farm straight away with the challenge. If you want easy and brainless farming (not judging, i cleared Triad extremes only on SB because i didn't want to worry about hardships back in HW), you wait. Because time will nerf it.
