Part of what makes a Horntail run fun is enduring the full hour inside the cave, and progressing through each part while trying to contribute and survive. Being able to breeze through the boss in merely 20 minutes makes it seem completely less rewarding.
If Nexon wants to make the major bosses available to more people, they should just open up more channels. If they want more lower levels to access bosses, then they should just make more, weaker bosses instead of nerfing existing ones. There's no point in trying to fix something that's not broken, ergo, boss stats should be left as they are.
If you're going to complain about the length of boss runs in MS, Consider the Pandemonium Virtue boss in Final Fantasy XI. I has a grand total of 20 forms, and takes approximately 18 hours to beat. Compared to 20 minute Zak runs, 1 hour Horntail, and the 3-4 hours predicted necessary for Pink Been it seems kind of extreme, right? And yet players still attempt and manage to beat it. I personally think that 18 hours is way over the top, but sitting down for 4 hours with a handful of peers and just bossing away is my idea of fun in MS. And that's what a game's supposed to be, right? Fun.
They are doing this because kms has almost no attack pots, much less 140 w.attack and 1000 m.atk pots like we do.
