thus either people ground the hell out of it and got there weapons, or they simply gave up cos it was too difficult. has nothing really to do with the totems
Yep, was going to bring up the same point. People stopped doing Garuda because they took advantage of the BLM burn and got their tokens. It wasn't intended to be able to beat the fight that easily. After the BLM burn, hardly anyone did the fight because they either had their tokens or couldn't beat the fight.

By the time I had enough tokens to buy three weapons (I did the fight legit with my LS), I had already gotten three from the fight itself. 120 tokens, maybe earning 10 per night, it probably took me roughly 2 weeks to get where I did. And that's just one piece of content.

Ideally there will be at least 3 different dungeons you can run in any given content patch. Depending on how often they want to cycle through equipment, 2-3 weeks will either be perfect or way too short of a time period for people to gear up through each dungeon. I would expect each content patch to last a MINIMUM of 3 months.
