Decisions by Nexon I will never understand.

I'll never understand why they made Area bosses so weak.

At the moment, they are pretty much regular mobs that give a stupid amount of drops and give ambition.

Back in the day, it took a team effort to down a Bigfoot and very few people could actually solo or even survive it. When Black Crow spawned at Himes, it was considered a dead channel that no one could train on because it took a lot of time and resources to actually kill it. When Crimson Balrog spawned on the boat, everyone would just die to a lvl100 boss. Heck, going even further than that, the Iron Hog that spawned at Pig Beach took a stupid amount of effort and caused a huge annoyance.

I wish they beefed up area bosses nowadays...

This.

I remember it being exciting when you saw an area boss, now it's just "meh".
