same problem on my server mir, i waited for hours and the mobs never even made it to the city. It might have something to do w/ so many people flooding the area. I'm hoping next time there aren't so many and the mobs don't run away.
Yes I'm gonna do Bahamut and Apocalypse Nigh soon. Ls is planning a run w/in about a week, so hopefully we won't get slaughtered. Ethereal Earring definately is what I'll get.
