Maybe when they raise the level cap it will be puggable.

For whatever reason people still are under the impression they can do this because most people are still on the hamlet stage of the quest and unfortunately this just is not going to be the case. PUGs can pass off doing 5 chest speed runs but not ones in less than 17 minutes, and the fact that alot of pugs and even linkshells can't even beat garuda since the hotfix shows alot of people don't have a chance to beat ifrit, even once the strat comes out.
no matter how much you tell this to people they wont believe it, they wont be having it

relics are obtainable to them, and they should be able to pug it

i know my group is a semi static, we are probly going to be REALLY slow at the AV/CC stage cuz we cant do 17 minutes, but we dont care about that, we arent in a rush.

And as far as hamlets go, i think we have gotten around 30 seals total from all 3 places(we do about 2 full day runs a week) in 3 weeks. and we have no issue at all with this drop rate, its been good to us so far with all the other stuff weve gotten cuz we are after more then the seals, which alot of people seem to think is the only thing that drops
