Some people are keeping a monopoly on the fastest progression methods and there's not very good options for other people. We could try to leech on the other group's enemy chains and cause them to receive an exp penalty and argue over it, or I can move my group to a less rewarding spot but this time they were not interested and we disbanded. *sigh*
Had a similar situation but it was because the other party didn't know we were saving the mutation for chain 30. After we explained what we were doing they didn't bother us. There are more Anubys mobs in the caves below past the Vouivres.

Not surprising. Nisi sac, skip soar, tank lb on byakko, ghost cheese, third-party applications for nael's lines and gaols or just third-party applications in general, requiring one or both dps having a res for hoh, no dupes in pf when loot isn't a factor: If the player is presented with an easier option, they'll take it. Players have already cheesed louhi. If a method was found to cheese the pagos grind, many of the complaints you see now would go away. We know this because that's exactly what happened with anemos.
