Go tell that to lvl 8 Lanns doing season of macha/hard gnoll chieftain.
Easy boss, and free seals of dedication. Plus if you have two of them, they'll get you a bit of extra money if you win. I see no problem with this. :P
Honestly the chieftain's one of my favourite party bosses, especially with weak parties; there's just something so satisfying about him beating other players around like rag-dolls with his giant hammer.
