Im sorry Evol but I have to disagree with you.

Even in ffxi a properly leveled and geared ninja with the right subjob was able to solo certain NMs.

There's no reason why that cant work here in ff14, if you lost it to a guy who has been camping for his own stuff, working alone to reach his own goal you have no right to whine about it.

Dear god the amount of times me and my LS wanted to rip the soloist head when we went as a group to get the yingyang robes for our summoners only to get the nm snatched by a good ninja/thief. But thats the game, if you can do it sweet! if not, get a group. Easy as that.
