Additionally, there are some players such as myself that finished tier 1 consistently before discovering sites such as this. Consequently, those players inadvertently devised their own set of "lone wolf" rules per sé. Those aren't necessarily to screw anyone, but to preserve their investment of time and money. I rarely ever hit, seed, co-op then finish via snipe/secure MVP. That strategy was unreliable as MVP was most often stolen. Secure MVP then seed just seems most logical.

There are ways to control your damage output to help secure MVP while still retaining enough health on a boss for allies and etc. I find L7s and L8s to be the easiest bosses to manage. The L4s and below (after day 3) are the trickier ones to deal with when maximizing points.
