i did have a 3 paragraph response to this thread for walkingshadows then i decided no one would read it because of how long it was and i decided to state this.
a GM in the game will state to you a mob when its name is yellow is fair game it doesn't matter who it is attacking and they have this rule and game mechanic to support a fair give/take system aka the balance we hear so much about.
i'm quite honestly surprised walkingshadows because if you understand anything about ffxi its very much about competition and team work together to get what you want just like life and if you cant deal with someone grabbing a mob off of a group your probably holding you are going to have to get over yourself because they are they will and you can't stop it from happening.
NO kidding, if you got 5+ go kill the higher lvl stuff lol. they drop up to 5, and no one will steal your stuff. If you don't suck you should kill them just as fast.
But then again, if you got 5+ people and you can't insta kill the ep stuff soon as you proc one...
It was an EXAMPLE...but hey I'll lay out qufim and buburimu too
Buburimu: for Bronze you can either do Bunnies which are easy, Mandies which have dumb aoe nightmare sleep and terror, and efts which are 2 minutes away across the map. Then when Byne time comes around, you're either doing a camp of ~10 crawlers (which me 3boxing can almost clear out on my own) or running 90 seconds over to ravens...or you can do Uragunites, good luck with that even with a full alliance of 18.
Qufim is just a mess...but every time shift, you're going to have to make a 2 minute run to hit next viable camp. I personally do Tigers>Snolls>Rocs + try for WS procs when the 3 rocs are down. But its a loss of currency cause WS procs are so rare. Ideally the best set seems to be Bats>trip bats>Raptors...but thats the most popular set cause it involves easy mobs in "close" proximity so its always full.
Lets be honest here, when you're in dynamis and someones making an attempt to fight 4 mobs at once, what job are they usually on?
And as its been covered, if a party of 5 cant manage to keep 5 mobs claimed, they REALLY deserve to have their mobs jacked. I can competently keep 3 mobs claimed when I'm 3boxing dynamis...5 people NOT multiboxing cant manage to keep 5 mobs claimed? Really? suck less bro...
