I actually just got an urge to play and the timing was right so I hopped on to do a quick maras KQ on my fighter. It started and there was one cleric in the whole group, so then everyone starts running ahead. I thought it was a normal rush so I followed, then they just aggroed everything to suicide and join a new KQ because they thought it was doomed.
I died twice in the beginning then we regrouped and 7 of us finished it off. I think it was 1 mage, 1 archer, 1 under 20 (no rez) cleric and the rest of us fighters one of which had no weapon at all >.<
Still, it actually went pretty smooth. I think sometimes it's easier with fewer people because so often it gets chaotic with a big group of people aggroing random stuff. I think pretty much everyone's reward box was by the way, but I got a blessed lix.
