On a side note, Wutai was a bit behind the curve with Dodore. The doublets were selling for 5mil on other servers by the time linkshells here were farming it. They stayed 10-15mil on this server until the nerf.

I just don't want to see unskilled players beating mobs without strategy before they've learned how to fight it. People will do anything to take down a mob on the first attempt if given the options. I've seen a Dodore fight that lasted an hour that included multiple wipes, the guys were exploiting something to keep claim and reset the rage timer. That's the poor man's way of zerging. They couldn't boot their dead. They just reset, kept claim and restarted. Don't make it easy for them.

You gave a good solution to the problem in your earlier post so there's not much to debate.
oh believe me i understand the ls i was in back then wiped many times to the dodore. i was just looking at they have ways to solve the issue without hurting the overall game play and fun factor. we cannot base everything in game off what a rmt/zerg party is going to do. they should always keep them in mind, but they should make changes to fix those issues without hurting the player just out trying to have a good time. when a game is struggling anything that takes away from the fun the players that are actually still playing the game to me is not such a good idea.
