In fact, the only time I think I ever remember someone using it was against kirin when it was OP as hell and took 2 hours to kill. If 2 end game linkshells are going after a world nm and someone dcs, not only does the party need to get that person back in the party to ensure that its correctly killed, but if you have another hnm shell standing there waiting for your party to wipe, disengaging to invite someone isnt an option. The other shell is going to take the world nm the second the name turns white.

If you are fighting a mob that takes 2 tanks to kill, and one of the tanks dcs you are screwed. You can't sit there and try to last until the other tank logs back in and then continue fighitng to try and make up lost time. You have to sit there and try to tank the nm with one tank where they will more than likely end up dying with no one pulling hate. Its the same situation if one of your healers dcs. If you have 2 healers and 1 dcs then you are at half the man power, and sometimes you just can't cure fast enough to save the people that are getting attacked.

The fact that SE hasn't even thought this through is absolutely ridiculous and the fact that they don't plan on changing it when half the people on here saying "its not a big deal" dont know what the hell they are talking about and will probably never do anything more difficult than fighitng the level 30 nms.
You're assuming that SE still cares to develop pre-Aht urghan quality content, when they don't. They don't like CoP. They don't like Zilart. They don't like the only kinds of players that play CoP and Zilart. They don't like world NMs any more. They don't like Fafnir. They hate fafnir. They hate fafnir camping. They hate fafnir tactics. They hate fafnir mentality.

There won't BE five teams watching your glorious ass fight a NM that everyone else wishes was theirs right now.
