Kiting is ridiculously easy since bots are braindead and all of them are slower than you. When you get a map in which you can do full circles and test it a few times to learn how to get bots following you in proper pattern, you can solo anything.
kiting requires far more skill than slashing...above normal mode at least. I think you would have a hard time finding someone skilled enough kiting past followers let alone tricksters on ragnarok mode because, no, the bots are not all slower than you and you have to use your environment to slow them down so it is not following a predetermined path until the wave is complete. to be put short you cannot solo "anything" and it is almost impossible to kite past loke/thor/odin on your own...unless you use gltiches.

the devs have confirmed that rewards are not greater haven't they?
and to put bluntly...people only play a number of maps these days anyway (granted the new map update was a step in the right direction in terms of maps all being complete able but people don't want to wait long periods of time for the nords to reach the cades. it is quicker to flip to swadian town than sit through a run on FUS or swadian temple where the nords spawns are separated and far away. the recommended amount of time spent sitting at a computer is 2 hours some maps take 4 hours plus to complete so... do the devs want to deteriorate our health? I think so!!!!!!
