GIVE US MORE STONES

[Elexia]

For some reason that 8 hour recharge doesn't exactly work for my brother lol. He gets 2 stones max every 2 days and he does have all 3 KIs. So it is possible that people can get glitch'd or run out, especially if you aren't getting like +30 additional min per stone.

It's also possible if you're trying to bang out an emp weapon that requires an ungodly amount of NMs to pop for absolutely no reason at all. Sure you can Cataburn key Items, but it's not always easy to have a mnk on call that's not already doing something else.

Have all 3 time reduction abyssites.

Go on a vacation.

Come back and viola! 400 stones.

No but seriously, you should just get a WAR or MNK and cleave/staff AoE. Can easily enter and exit abyssea every time with max time and never using a single stone.

[Raxiaz]

On my main, I have over 700 stones.

On my alt, I have over 300 stones.

I can't see how stone accumulation is a problem when getting even one of the celerity abyssites is easy. The NMs for the +3 min abyssites are also relatively easy - /shout groups can knock them out, no reason why an organized LS couldn't.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

I have 15. lol
My alt have 600, my friend has 400.
I feel bad. ; ;

it's really all a matter of what you're wanting to progress at. if your main focus is killing NMs for seals/+2 items/empy/general gear then chances are your group is gonna go in, kill shit they need, leave. that can burn some stones up pretty quick if you do that all day, especially for ppl who just bought the add-on set.

i think i got less than 70ish stones, but i don't seem to run out either. my friend just started, has 2 stone production abyssite, and can't keep enough time to save his life cause he's tryin to get +1 gear. this don't mean i'm opposed to the system though, i think it's fine as is, just saying i can understand where the OP is comin from.

More stones would also add to the congestion ; ; Maybe.

Already have most people with 300+ stones, and Abyssea on average has about 100~ people per zone. One of the main points of a stone count was to reduce congestion and prevent overcamping of NMs. Stone acquisition is longer an issue as said above, most people have over 300 stones. Why do we need to add more? lol

I'll tell you why people are running out of stones. They have real lives. They dont have half a fricken day to spend just cleaving TE to get 400 minutes before they can start what they are doing. A typical responsible adult is going to have to go to work, and spend minimal free time playing the game. All they have time for is to get on, jump in aby, get the KI, and pwn the boss, before they run out of time.

You start to lose stones quickly when you have to do this. Let's also factor in these fricken NM that pop 1 every 10-15 minutes, and 2-3 LS camping them, you know how fricken annoying it is to try to complete a Glavoid Pop Set when all you do for all 120 min, is fight over 1 mob you need 6 times or more for a KI. Sometimes i wonder why KI isnt ally wide, 1 single proc, everyone gets the KI, you know how frustrating it is to try and claim a time pop NM when everyone has the claim and the KI and the only person left that needs the KI is some slow failbot player that takes an hour or more to finally beat the other competition.

^ This is where u lose stones. Fighting over time pops, and single pop NM's. Why do we have Emp weapon NM's at 3 pops per mob, but all the pops before them, and every other pop in this game only has 1 single pop. All i have ever accomplished in Abyssea more than anything, is learning how to be more of an ass, and fight other people over popping an NM before them so i dont waste my stones. And it gets to the point where, there just isnt "time" for common courtesy. I dont give a crap if someone has 5 more pops on this thing or not, i got 10 stones left and times ticking, i dont have time to be messin around staring at these guys, and let's not forget these annoying solo faggots that take FOREVER to kill stuff.<--- This is the mentality that most people have, they run to the pop, and then it becomes a big fight fest of who has the better macro to pop the NM, or who has a better AP radar to tell them the time pop spawned.

And dont tell me to farm KI from amber chest, been there, done that, very awesome when you waste 140 minutes getting the same 3 KI when you need the other two. Call it bad luck, but it accomplished the same frustration as fighting over a pop or a time pop, and that's just simply "WASTE MY TIME"

That doesn't make much sense. Wouldn't a "real life" up your stone count? >.>

I understand the wasted time camping swarmed NMs, but seriously the "real life" should INCREASE stone count, if anything.

when my rl got busy, I had 160 stones. I have over 500 now

Yes, drastically. Because you get stones even if your real life stops you from logging in, but can't spend them. Real life is a sure path to hundreds of unused stones.
