Highly Notorious Monsters

[Clydey]

Sorry I'll put the bucket of mud away.

You only quoted one part of my post though, what about the most important bit about outside influence making open world encounters a joke.

Also is there no merit in running 20 instances a day and still not walking away with darklight gear ? Dedication is dedication to me.

I don't see what open world bosses provide other than the "look at me" factor or the "F you factor" when you claim it over someone else.

Because some people like to compete. Are athletes elitist jerks because they enjoy competing? Obviously not. People enjoy distinguishing themselves. If I do something, I want to do it as well as I can. I also want to measure my best against someone else's best. This also applies to groups/linkshells. There is nothing wrong with someone enjoying competition.
