I'm against the idea of instancing any more of the bosses of Ryzom. One of the things I've liked about the "classic bosses" is the fact that you've got to watch the environment as well as the boss, and that you can call in reinforcements if you need them. Perhaps this is what you mean by "free for all", but I see that as a positive, not a negative. Also it seems to me that if you limit your attacks on the heavy bosses to one team, they are plenty challenging right now. I've seen (been part of) plenty of wipes on Aen.
