I haven't seen too many lame SMN here. The misconception about WoE is you need SMN, you don't. I haven't figured out 15 yet w/o SMN, but I'm sure it could be done.
In the other fluxes, I've cleared a lot of them with little to no SMN, and it is actually easier without them sometimes. Less death, more working together, instead of every man for himself, good luck getting through all the garudas and levithans.
And yes, it is same on here, JP prime time is when to go if you just want to go and do it. I'm not exactly sure why no one else does it, but it is fairly annoying. I get peeved about the "inferior" weapons or NQ empy comments. The weapons aren't terrible and they are easy to get. I have a level 99 Shamash, and tbh, it shells out some heavy damage. The armor in some of the fluxes is useful and worth a good bit of gil as well.
And yes my shout was sucessful. We cleared twice, then some people left. Third run I was reluctant to go in, but my friends wanted to try again and we went. Problem is we had some randoms stray in and they dragged most of the zone mobs down to us and mpk'ed all of us, despite our sac pulling team's efforts. Big tip tho, most people don't understand zone alliance/pt hate, so disband the pt's when you get in, and reform them if you'd like once you are down below fighting. It also seems like dancer is fairly effective at stunning Mingyi, so that may be another important piece of the puzzle.
