I agree with the many posters who say it isn't that the Boss Battle is too short, it is that it is too easy.

I may be to blame for it being too easy. I did the Boss Battle solo before anyone thought it even possible, and posted it on youtube. My later posts were quite critical of Disney, which I made for the purposes of putting a burr under their butts to make some content, and my post about doing the Boss Battle solo made me a sort of cult hero in POTCO and lent me gravitas.

And I did it twice. I made a video about how to RUN THE BRIDGES, and few ever did that, let alone solo, and my video showed me doing THAT solo. Major gravitas.

Disney saw a way to end the gravitas. Make the Boss Battle easy, so it looked to new players, that I was full of boast, and little else. And in fact, it worked...

So blame me. I pointed out that the Boss Battle was conquerable solo, which meant it was EASIER than people once thought, then Disney makes it MUCH EASIER? That doesn't make sense, except to minimize my importance...

Before I ran the bridges, it took around FIFTEEN minutes to do the Boss Battle. It seemed to everyone that it was more like five minutes, but that is because time flies when you are having fun. I clocked it numerous times, and believe me, it most often took a crew fifteen minutes to get through it, and more often than not, we lost.

Disney should restore the old Boss Battle, and let EVERYONE that's in crew, whatever level, paid or unpaid, go along. It's fun to see the cutscene for noobs, well, it was when it was in sync anyway, and if you died, well, you could always try try again and run run run the next time.

Seriously, the posters are right. It isn't too fast, it is too easy. But Disney isn't going to bring the old difficult one back, for that would give me back my fame. They would have to make it hard and DIFFERENT to minimize me now... and perhaps they might do THAT with enough pressure from you all.
