Event Skipped

I could have sworn I read something about this being "unfixable", but after 10 minutes of searching the forums fruitlessly I decided to post.

This is one of the most (if not THE most) annoying aspect of the game in my opinion.

Countless lost chests, failed union signups, abandoned attempts to purchase temporary items, etc. all simply due to either being in a party with an active bard/white mage/corsair/etc. or being too close to support NPCs or AoE spamming mobs.

If I get campaign tags half a dozen NPCs seemingly scramble to prevent me from buying a scroll of instant reraise or signing up for union in the few seconds I have before a horde of yagudo descend upon me. Sometimes It would really be convenient to grab a couple temp items before entering Nyzul instead of the typical Menu -> Protectra (event skipped) -> Menu again -> Shellra (event skipped) -> Menu yet again -> Ballad (event skipped) -> party leader enters. Plus, I didn't really want to open that time extension pyxis. Thanks, Warcry.

What really throws me off is there is an exception to the rule: Synergy.

Interacting with a synergy furnace appears to use the same menu interface as other NPCs, yet when you are "interacted" with while operating a synergy furnace you don't get kicked out of the menu with an "Event Skipped" in your chat log.

What gives?

/blockaid doesn't work?

well from outside parties anyway.

I know this has been brought up in several other threads on this forum, but yes it deserves it's own thread.

I agree with DerianX 100% and would like to know from SE if this can be fixed. Loosing TEs, key items, base AF3 feet etc because you repeatedly get "event skipped" is not cool. :(

No it doesn't. It only prevents players outside your own party/alliance from casting on you. It doesn't prevent your whm's Protectra or your bard's songs from landing on you, and it certainly doesn't stop AoE from things like campaign mobs.

It's been especially frustrating when I'm on a job in campaign that doesn't HAVE Reraise to cast. Like MNK/DNC. I need that temp item desperately. Especially these days when practically nobody DOES campaign ... if I get KO, I'm likely to lie there for the entire hour and be forced to home point, losing everything, and being counted as "Running Away" from the battle.

Oh the pain of it all, why cant these simple fixed be fixed. Oh i know why, they are in a "Priority" schedule and cant be done at the moment.
