Edit: Mistranslated because I misunderstood the context. Well, you can still sort of use the points as a vague guide.
So, I saw this image uploaded to MMOLoda earlier.

It's a summary of stuff JP players often argue about.
There are a few things on there that even I didn't realize was a problem.
Thought it might be interesting to translate it, but I'm also not 100% confident that I'm translating it correctly.
I also added a bit to elaborate on the meaning of "fully-grinded".
So, I figured maybe we can sorta discuss some of the things on there. Here goes:
Never-ending Player Disputes (a prejudiced arbitrary summary)
#What kind of weapon is sufficient for Extra Hard?
- Austere is not acceptable unless it's fully-grinded.
- You should have a fully-grinded (preferably 60 element) 13 star weapon equal to or better than Ares.
- Crafted+Photon Booster Latent Red weapons, fully-grinded 12 stars, old 13 star weapons at 10303 (ie. +10, 30 element, Lv3 latent) or better are all good.
- Small Pristine Hammer, Niren Kamui are also okay.
- Fully-grinded 11 star weapon or better is okay (ever since XH/Ultimate was implemented).
- Game management assumes you have a 12 star weapon.
#For Bo/Hu, is it okay to use Moment Gale's followup action? (ie. is it okay to use Zanverse without Wind Mastery or effective Latent?)
- If nobody else is using Zanverse, then it's not a problem.
- If it's an EQ where you just run around and there are tons of trash mobs, then do whatever.
- If you're sure other players aren't using Zanverse with bonus damage, then do whatever.
- To begin with, it's not good to use Moment Gale's followup on bosses.
- Moment Gale's followup weak vacuum gets in the way, so you shouldn't be using it anyway.
* Extra info from the thread: casting Zanverse and doing something else is better damage. Followup can be useful for Loser's clock (ie. Zanverse -> Mirage).
#Is it okay to use Katana against bosses?
- If you're using the appropriate Photon Arts, then it's no problem.
- However, you should be using Bow on enemies that aren't moving.
TL note: To elaborate, people keep telling me that using Banish Arrow -> charged Kamikaze x2 with even a 20 element Orbit (13 star) Bow deals massive damage.
* Extra info from the thread: Bow can still be used on some moving targets if you're good enough.
#When it looks like I can't kill an AIS Exoda in time, should I destroy the blaster (gun) instead?
- Destroying the blaster leads to the AIS running amok, so you should be going for the legs.
- However, preventing them from firing is top priority, so break the blaster if you have to.
*But what about affixes? (TL's note: not included in the original image)
- Grinding units and weapons to maximum is far more important than affixing.
- Get affixes that suit your playstyle, and make up for your shortcomings (eg. more defense if you die a lot).
- More PP means more PAs/Techs, meaning more damage. Try to balance this with +damage affixes.
For the record, the stuff I didn't really know about:
- I didn't know people thought Katana is so weak that it can't kill bosses.
- Didn't realize people got so upset about Moment Gale's Zanverse (I used it on PD a few days ago because nobody else seemed to be using Zanverse).
- Didn't realize Moment Gale's vacuum was considered "getting in the way".
