Marceline-
The lowest numbers I heard for Aen are 14 elemental masters, 2 good tanks, and the fewest number of healers that will manage to keep everyone alive; sure, it will take closer to an hour instead of 10 minutes. I actually did manage to put together two hunts for Aen, and the only challenging thing was finding masters and staying awake :)
I'm not saying the new bosses should require more people - well, maybe slightly more; but they *should* require said people to use more varied skills in order to finish the task.
Bittty-
You would still be able to call in reinforcements, afaik there's no way to forbid people going through a vortex. I don't mind the free-for-all format, just I find the current setup dreadfully boring (half the people nuke, half the people heal, solid fun).
As it stands now, you don't have to watch the environment (except for the stray frahar at Aen); Pei is isolated, Lixie is isolated, Sirgio's camp is in a mostly safe place. Hence the point about pre-programmed aggro spawns.
