Level 99s destroying Campaign for leveling

[Kincard]

Even if your suggestion is only to apply nerfs to certain abilities to campaign only, there is nothing stopping you from running out to either pull one of the monsters off one of these level 99s or attack these monster with no risk to yourself. As I mentioned above, the exp limit is more determined by time limits and it scales linearly so you're not really losing xp/time for each battle regardless of how short they are thanks to level 99s coming to curbstomp them.

If your argument is that the short duration didn't allow you to cap your xp, you probably wouldn't have capped your xp even if the battle went on longer.

Whenever I've snagged campaign mobs, I needed it more. Trust me, I'm a Beastmaster.

In all seriousness though, I do this at every opportunity. Why? Some of us just want to watch the world burn.

I love the derision tossed at me here, I guess a lot of it is from the 99 PLD/DNCs who can SOLO an entire attack group, NM and all his mobs, way from the OP and where only those running around looking can find them: it's worse now than back when Campaign first came out and groups of 75s would drag the mobs.

And yes, it needs a nerf, it's asinine that content that provides the vast amount of Voidust and other reasons 99s are farming LEVEL SEVENTY-FIVE content, when SE have in the past nerfed 'exploits' like Fortification bashing for XP.

Of course, most here refuse to see this is the same since they're the ones making Campaign largely impossible for those still leveling through it and see nothing wrong with being antisocial like these 99 PLD/DNCs are, or the BST who do the same thing.

You know, I've made it a point to go out and do some Campaign since i read your OP. I'm on your server and i've gone out during NA and JP primetime, in off-peak times, and sometimes just plain random times; and i have to say you need to get over it.

Sandy 6, Bastok 2, Windy 2, and Beastmen 16

That's the breakdown of of our Campaign Map atm. Go pick a Windy or Bastok area and have it all to yourself. Because outside of whichever jerk ticked you off, i don't see this evil 'lvl 99 menace' that you are pushing.

While my first reply was a genuine query, your damn right now tho. There is derision a-plenty in this post.

I reckon it's just someone who can't quite grasp that change happens and that it can be a good thing. If you treat campaign as a sole levelling activity then you deserve to have it slow as it was never meant for that. It was originally for AN and an alternative meriting activity because most tpburn parties only wanted sam, drg, brd and rdm, and on some occasions war. The rest of the jobs had to make do with looking for party for hours on end so SE made more choice, but it was never intended for fully levelling a job from 60-75+. Nerfs are never the answer only a quick fix which in this case would nerf a lot for a relatively small fix and be ultimately pointless, only because 1 person can't accept change as a good thing and wants to stay in the past (pun not intended).

I ruined a campaign battle yestrday evening with Lulu. Whirl Claws for initial hate then Wild Carrot spam, took about 15 minutes or so to beat them all down but I earned a new set of wings for my effort. Had anyone bothered to follow me they'd be more than welcome to join in but instead they sat at the Outpost and cried save for a lone Taru PLD. I think the problem is people are unwilling to venture far from the Outposts and those of us who just want to get the battle over with for limit points go straight to the source and start tagging mobs immediately.

My advice to anyone doing this at lower levels is to follow the high levels around and jump into the fight, the level 99 players should be a boon to campaigns rather than a burden. If you're on Leviathan and see me in campaign, feel free to join me, I don't bite hard unless asked. :3
