It was created to be mathematically undefeatable, by the damage cap of the day and with the restrictive time limit placed on it.
Then came potential and a new damage cap, and presto, His Pinkness went from undefeatable to soloable virtually overnight, without being nerfed/modified/fixed in the slightest.
Same could be done with any boss. Give it too many HP, or skills that keep people from attacking/killing it, let us crash against it for a few months (while spending NX to bring our ranges up to 500k and more, to no avail), then come out with a new mechanism that lets us do 10x the damage and inhibit its attacks/buffs 10x as effectively. For the right amount of NX, of course. And then it will die, and the true power behind it will be revealed...
Were you even part of a group that Pink Beans in the past? I can assure you that there were many times that worlds were close without the need of potential. The damage cap was changed in Big Bang, which was after the Pink Bean kill by the way.
