RTFA 2 makes no sense.
First of all, whole idea of boss-lasthitting quests is dumb. Quests should encourage teamwork, not CM-ratty-style boss kills. And its generally unfair to some classes. Would be better if everyone alive on the server got 'boss kill', even if it would require increase kill count.
Second, it's 2020 on the calendar and this mod is dead for several years (except China, but I'm talking about The West). This quest might have some sense in 2014, 2015, maybe 2017, but not in 2020 which is Bannerlord release year (I hope).
Third, it's just impossible to do in realistic time. Let's assume you play Normal with 4 people 15 minutes per run, Hard with 8 people 30 minutes per run and Rag 12 people 30 minutes per run, killing average number of bosses amongst all players on the server. This way you will need 200*4*15+200*8*30+200*12*30=132000 minutes=2200 hours of NI. I played a lot of NI (~2000 hours), but playing another 2000 hours? Just no. And don't think about kiting. Except you will do it on nightly basis you will always have at least 10 people to wave 12 on Rag. And what could you do? It's public servers so everyone can join so fuck your kiting.
And even I overestimated time required to complete this quest, maybe it's 500 hours not 2000 - it's still pointless grind with people who will try to steal boss kills from each other. Not fun for me. NI will be more dead then ever with such quests.
