Had our first LS member get to 7/7 weapons last night. Most people have (or at least have enough headdresses) to get to 3-4 weapons now as well. We have never even attempted this fight using a BLM burn setup.

I don't understand how 90% of the community would choose to not participate in probably the most balanced and challenging fight that SE has implemented to date.

While frustrating at times to get all the mechanics of the different phases down (like any fight I suppose), the feeling that you get when you finally succeed is one of the reasons that make MMOs fun to play.

If there was a treasure chest in the cave where you enter the Garuda fight and you could either fight Garuda to try and earn the weapons or simply click the chest, would all these shells just be skipping the fight altogether? Do gamers not enjoy the challenge of overcoming anything anymore or is it really just about a virtual piece of gear?
