Monopolization of Dynamis by BSTs

[bruinbear]

The monopolization of Dynamis zones by Beastmasters has gotten out of hand. Beastmasters have become extremely rude and carry themselves with a sense of entitlement in Dynamis zones. The gathering of all the monsters in the zone and sense that this is their right and elitism is horrible. Everywhere you go and in every zone, there are multiple BSTs claiming all the monsters and with several unclaimed, but partly damaged mobs with hate on them. When another player claims a mob, BSTs become disgruntled and give them attitude for doing so.

An example I can give is when I claimed an unclaimed monster next to a BST at what looked like full hp and only realized after claiming that it had been "red proc'd," to which the BST exchanged the following words: "F- yourself n-word." This is completely inappropriate behavior and has gone too far.

This entire process takes away from the ability of other players to enjoy the Dynamis event and to participate in the event at all when they are unable to claim monsters.

I propose that something (more than just the downgrade in TH to TH1 mentioned in the upcoming updates) be done to make Dynamis more equitable and fun for ALL players on FFXI.

Some suggestions to fix this process would be:
1) To limit the number of players who are able to enter each zone, setting a cap in each zone dependent on the size of the zone.
2) To take away treasure hunter effects from pets entirely, leaving TH to be a unique ability to the Thief and RNG job class.
3) To change the way the system works so that one person cannot hold hate on more than one monster at a time.

First, I feel I need to get this out of the way:


Second, "type racist insult" is in no way a Beastmaster job ability. If it were, I feel more people would have the job leveled because the internet is where crude insults live.

Third, ultimately yellow stuff is yellow. People have every right to fight multiple monsters. People have every right to wait for a monster's name to turn yellow due to another monster being engaged and then grab it. People can either be nasty about both of these things or people can be courteous.

Obviously, that individual was very nasty about it. The right thing to do is to keep killing everything he allows to turn yellow and make that individual miserable, not to make a forum post suggesting that the job Beastmaster gains the trait "Racism" at the same levels as "Stout Servant". Because that's really, really, really stupid.

I dont agree with 1) and 2) but I agree with 3)
one player should not be able to hold like 5 or 6 mob at a time but only 1

by the way, if you claim a "yellow" mob, you in your right, Unclaimed mobs is not a property of someone even already proc'ed or damaged, unclaim is unclaim, SE rules

Wait until pet TH is nerfed and their drops dry up. Dynamis without a decent TH sucks.

It will barely drop. The biggest increase was and will forever be triggers, NOT TH. Yes it helps a bit, but TH1 will do that perfectly fine.

Nothing will change.

On to the OP:

This is NOT anything new, WAR's and BLU's do this in Abyssea zones with Fell Cleave burns and Charged Whisker burns, even BLM, DNC and PLD also do this.

As long as this game has been around people that play it claim rights to anything and everything, hello 32+ people claim botting land gods, or even plain old NM's such as the low level MNK SAM NIN gloves in Oztroja NM.

People need to stop pretending BST's are the only job to feign elitism or control of an area, ESPECIALLY a level 75 zone/battlefield no one even cared for before the Dynamis Reborn nonsense.

my brother and I went from TH6 to TH7 on his THF and our coins jumped up by 30run. I'm calling BS on this line, their currency will drop

How many runs did you average the total to determine the average increased by 30, and was your other equipment improving alongside whatever allowed the Treasure Hunter upgrade?

Edit: Also, is it possible you just became more efficient and killed more stuff by and large? There are many, many, many things that can improve over time and affect currency yield.

Impressive increase for traits that are so pointless (anything above TH3)

Luck is luck. BST's wont stop going into Dynamis and continuing what they do now. So nothing changes.

First, I have to ask if you're the Dhatcher from my LS.

Second, you are completely correct. Land kings were always botted. Current Dyna is nothing compared to Drama Aery in 2005/2006.

A few people are jerks (including you) so therefore wholesale changes must be made to an event and the game as a whole so your feelings aren't hurt anymore and you get the mobs that you are entitled to but no one else is. Got it.
