Treasure Hunter Effect Amongst Jobs

[Vivik]

Well.. FFXIV need more PPL so is obvious they try to force ppl rage/quit XDDDDDD

I don't think it will have the desired effect they are counting on. FFXIV is just plain horrible.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA Keep it up SE you provide many laughs.

I'm still reading through all the replies (im on page 6...) but i must say all you thieves so far have failed to reconize you can BUILD UP your TH more so then BST and their pets currently with armor and the fact that landing critical hits on a mob has a chance to raise your TH further. Big woop if BST gets TH through a pet BST its how the BST pets work. They get the job traits of the job they are supposed to play.

I'm still thinking as optimistically as I can about the "Pet: Treasure Hunter armor but...

You have failed to recognize that killing monsters as fast as possible will yield far more drops than trying to proc higher levels of treasure hunter. Kill Speed == King.

[Vandheer]

Then like many before me said why do we have to lower BST TH when they can attempt to fix THF TH? Fixing THF TH might even be a start to a solution to the crappy drop rates in newer events as-well as please majority.

[Vandheer]

My mistake, they are making an attempt at that route as-well. x)

Nothing more annoying than 15 BST in zone hoarding the mobs with little effort. I say good.

I just love how you guys act like whatever Dynamis zone you're in belongs to you, and no one else should be there to get in your way. The sense of entitlement is staggering. I honestly think that's the real issue here. If it wasn't BSTs it'd be another job, other players, parties, or alliances. You guys just want the zone to yourself and anything SE does to hurt others' chances while preserving your own will be A-OK with you. Well, sorry, but Dynamis doesn't work that way anymore. You can team up, compete, or wait for SE to discover the miracle of instancing. Welcome to Neo-Dynamis! Welcome to FFXI! Enjoy your stay!

See, the funny part is that people think this will limit the number of bsts. It won't. Just means people like me, who are actually building relics will just be there in your way longer.

well actually only a little bit longer.

And it will likely limit the number of BSTs in Dyna since many of the BST's in there were bandwagon currency farmers only doing it to make money not make relics. They often weren't pulling in many more coins than a well geared THF or DNC so they may decide to do something else for gil if coin drops are nerfed for them.

I highly doubt that. I will still go bst over thf/dnc and I will still be able to hold 10+ mobs at a time. Nothing will change.

Without becoming a raging nerd I have 2 points to make.

※The current focus of this adjustment is for familiar pets, but in the future if automatons and avatars are given Treasure Hunter, we will be adopting the same policy.

If your going to limit other pets to TH1 why is the development team even considering wasting effort on this. Just don't bother adjusting, simply making adjustments for the sake of it is an exercise in futility.

My second point. Was BST having a TH3 pet really a problem for the game? The only example I've seen was is Dynamis, and this nerf is resolved simply by going BST BST THF Rather than BST BST BST. Since you can lvl thf to 99 in 1 day thanks to Abyssea if your addressing over crowding in Dynamis with this store brand band aid patch its simply not gonna hold.
