Square-Enix: Because Fun Is Overrated: MMORPG Edition

I suppose I should mention that Square-Enix has decided to revise the fight.

We would like to assure players that the development and management teams place a high value on their feedback, and the issue has since been taken under serious consideration. Together with Absolute Virtue, it has been deemed that the combative techniques for weakening these NMs are too difficult. As a result, some players have engaged these enemies using unanticipated methods which led to extended battle times. It is by no means the desire of the development team to see players involved in encounters that require an excessive amount of time and effort to complete. It was for this reason that previous measures were put into practice which prohibited NMs from being held in battle for prolonged periods. In response to these events, we have determined that further alterations are required to prevent such battles from exceeding a certain predetermined length of time.

Note that they never said "the boss was too hard." Rather they said "you should have given up earlier" and that, in the future, they're going to force the fight to end earlier.

Yay.
