Boss Takes 18+ hrs to beat? O_o

I'm impressed with Square-Enix. I think they're doing an amazing thing by actually fixing this little issue instead of ruining the image of FFXI.

And well... it wouldn't hurt if the bosses had a TIME limit to them when being faught with. Hence: "Find the way to beat the boss in 3 hrs... or its over" sorta thing.
 
Its actually very disappointing to the players. I don't think they really need to care about their image to outside people because it has been out for several years, it won't be around for much longer and there aren't many new players coming out.
So all they are doing is ticking off the hardcore fan base that had been begging for things like this for years, there are actually people quitting because they are now going to nerf so many fights for the media. Really is such a shame, makes me lose respect for the company that had stayed strong for so many years.

I would've killed myself if there was a time limit for all bosses. There are to many reasons to state why that would be horrible for this kinda game.

There are certain battles where there are time limits, but they aren't the most important battles and aren't done as much because time limits are very bad for this battle system.
 
That doesn't speak much for you though. If one person is willing to fight a boss for 18 hours just to get noteriety among his piers and/or around the world, that's one thing; but I guarantee that most of these people attempting this boss are just in it for the items.

It's a sad sad day when I see a boss fought beyond 2 hours.

I've never fought Absolute Virtue or even attempted of asking my Linkshell to try it. The items dropped though, are quite good though but I don't think they are worth the trouble of the fight though. Same goes for Pandemonium Warden, drops some great items (some I'd like to get ahold of myself) but not really worth the fight.
Although, with the level cap being raised to 99 at the end of the year, I'm willing to bet these fights will become more... 'achievable'... with the majority of people in the Alliance, being around 95-99. Pandemonium Warden is level 99 and Absolute Virtue is level 84, so a full Alliance of level 99 characters, should be able to take them down a little easier.

As for the topic, this boss is clearly very easy, and is way more simple to defeat than that one boss from Final Fantasy XII that has a lot of Hit Points.

This webpage, http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Absolute_Virtue, has all the information about Absolute Virtue. He is not easy to fight or defeat. Members of my Linkshell have tried (with other Linkshell Members) to defeat it, and failed, so unless you have played Final Fantasy XI Online and have played any of the job classes etc, defeated bosses etc, please do not speak of what you do not know.
