Dynamis

[Mikumaru]

I normally dont jump in on these type thread but Walk and i are in the Same LS and he isnt talking Hoarding MObs as a solo BST . he talking about when we go to Dynamis as a group . Going in with 5+ people . pulling 5-8 Mobs (something a group like this can handle easily) staggering them individually (since there is a time limit before stagger changes) then focusing on a single mob . we can Stagger and a kill a group of 8 in less than 5 minutes . with 5 people we Average 300+ coins run(Vs a Solo BST doing 120 +/- 15) . This is a co-operative game still . when we have 6 or more ppl come we hit the DC-T monsters . It's a huge annoyance when any player , BSt or other wise, come and tries to take already Staggered mobs . The GMs i have talked to about this call this a grief tactic , which is illegal by the EUA . Taking monsters not staggered , not so much . You wanna say this hoarding then try being less of a jerk and try takin the mobs before they get staggered . Or find some friends and complete that relic in 1/3rd the time . Not doin a weapon and farmin for gil ? Sorry then , but we're not selling our coins . We're makin Weapons .
I agree that Square should change the Stagger rates . Its so hard to stagger mobs on anything but Job Abilities (how many spells and Weapon Skills Vs how many Job Abilities?) of course this is the obvious choice when farming coins . Personally , i feel this addition to Dynamis is unwarranted and a complete annoyance in and that of it's self . The old Russian Roulette style was far more fun and rewarding . Especially now that it's an open area where groups can interact with one another , poor judgement call Square . If it was Locked like before the change , this stagger addition would be a great call . Now , not so much .

Thanks for clarifying the job situation. People saw a bst making the thread and they automatically assumed it was solo bst hogging mobs when everyday I see groups like yours trying to keep claimed every mob in area. People should assume less.

Sorry, If I have no mob to fight and you're trying to hold 5-8 mobs, yes, I am taking a yellow one. My time's as valuable as yours.
