Massive respect to anyone who did.
It wasn't so bad once you got past Hamlet. Getting past Hamlet, however, was a chore. You needed great mental fortitude in order to not succumb to madness. I may have at one point, as evidenced below.

I was our tank. I ran around that tree kiting the boss for about 15 minutes straight every time we did Gridania. Limsa and Ul'dah weren't really much different. The instance speed runs just took practice and were super easy once you got them down (Which most of us already had after spending some 200 CC/AV runs farming Darklight).
Interested to see how they make them in 2.0. I hope it's still as difficult and time consuming, as I'll be rather disappointed if we got through all the hard stuff, only to have it not be hard at all in ARR.
