no hamlets aren't skill. that is all about being dedicated and motivated to do them. the other parts of the quest outside of the hamlets and double melding are more skill involved.

most groups don't have the skill and coordination to get a 25 min speed run in either dungeon much less complete it in 17 minutes.

most groups can't go through and kill garuda in less than 10 min without anyone dying.

most groups can't beat ifrit extreme.

i'm not saying that the entire quest is skill related, but to act like the entire quest is luck based is off base. yes, there are parts that are just spam the same stuff over and over and hope to get lucky, but multiple parts of the quest does actually require skill and most groups are not able to reach the level required.
