They would complain about it being capped though technically you already have a cap on tomes. Perhaps make it so you only get credit (full) on each NM mark per week. After you have gotten full credit for a NM next time you won't be able to attack it. The only time you can attack it (NMs that are non soloable) is if you are in a party with atleast one player who still needs full credit for that mark for the week. Otherwise ppl will still pull marks they already got credit for just to harass others.
Marks shouldn't even be able to be reset honestly. If you didn't get there in time, tough shit, plenty of other Bs and As. There comes a point where you can't wait for everyone because contrary to what people want to believe, you can't get credit on a mob that won't even load on your screen due to the ridiculous amount of people showing up. The Horde imposing it's rules on the people that aren't part of the group is just wrong, plain and simple.
They should just put a barrier in place that would prevent a reset when you engage the mob.
Not when the Romans are clearly idiots.Quote:
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Waiting for more than a couple of parties before engaging a B is foolish IMHO. You risk screwing your group our of full credit by doing so, what sane leader is going to do that to their group?
Resetting is a terrible habit that just wastes people's time. Get enough people, kill it, end of story. Don't cry over 5 seals.
No, my thought process (especially with a B) is to kill the damn thing before hundreds of people rock up and potentially bone me out of credit. Why is someone teleporting in from halfway around Eorzea entitled to credit from the hunt I found? They aren't, it's a rule that's been made up by hunt shells. Thankfully the hunt shells on Tonberry aren't quite this entitled, but there are quite a few individuals who seem to share this warped view of the world.Quote:
If your thought process is "I know there's probably a lot of people that are on the way to this, but screw them I want this for myself" Then yes, I see nothing wrong with selfish behaviour being punished.
And technically, the Romans would be the NPCs.
So I guess I'll just camp in town and ask everyone that walks by to go talk to you and then come back and inform me that they did in fact talk to you. Or have them check that the crates I'm standing next to are in fact still there.
