Powerleveling - Critical hits - Greedy players - Heroes wanabee - Suicidal players ... You name it. I've read past arguments on both sides and my two cents is as follows : The SAO world is going to bad and beyond, collapsing upon itself, things don't make sense, and everything is unfair.
Maybe thats the point of this social experiment - through a proxy, realize that no matter how many rules and convention exists nothing will feel right in a system. Be it the SAO's Cardinal or reality's society

Past battle situations were arguably fair. This latest boss battle isnīt.
One-hit KOs in a MMORPG. Seriously, anybody whoīs ever played one KNOWS that a mechanic like that would not work. Itīd ruin the game. And thatīs just in game situation. Try imagining it in a life-death situation. Yeah, fuck.
Just about any MMO raid boss has a mechanic that if your raid fucks up results in instant death.
I guess the dozens of MMOs launched in the past ten years that were successful for many years on their own were "ruined" from the start. I'm not even talking about special bosses or events. Regular quest/mission bosses easily one-shot any non-tank. Even the MMOs that don't have classes have on occasion some obviously telegraphed move that if hit with, results in a one-shot.
There's obviously some trick to this bone-centipede. They just haven't figured it out yet, since they're not doing any damage to it.
Not to mention that this isn't even the first time we've see this. Remember the Floor 1 boss? If you didn't learn to parry attacks due to that particular weapon's fighting style, you died. Oh wait, here they just have to learn to parry as teams or parry with a shield like Heathcliff is doing.
The only thing they haven't found is where to hit the weakpoint for massive damage.
