Is FF14 a racist game? Here is the story

It's a sunny day at 14th sun of the 4th moon. One team of people leaving Camp Bald Knoll and try to conquer The Isles of Umbra.

It's a journal of death while facing the red devils- L77 aggressive crabs. Lots people died. While all the teammates died and the red devil slowly walked toward the only survivor - a tiny Miqo'te. The poor kitty was too scared and can't even run any more and just weeping and praying. Miracle happened. The crab just like didn't see the poor little kitty and slowly walked away.

"oh wow so it's sound aggro?" the kitty told party members.
The little Miqo'te started raising all nearby teammates.
"Hmm ya it won't aggro me if I don't move," the Midlander leader said.
"Let me try to walk slowly and away from crabs," the Highlander warrior said and started walking. Everyone screamed because there is a crab walking toward the Highlander. It's too late to stop. The highlander already walked few steps. However, the crab didn't seem to notice there is something there, and it stopped while the Highlander just right next to its legs and do its own business.
"So.... we can just walk pass?" said the female Lalafell and she started to walk though the crabs.
I'm a Hellsguard Roegadyn. I was the other survivor who didn't step into the crabs zone yet. Now everyone is all on the other side and told me "not afraid" "just walk slowly" "you will be fine"

So! I switch to walk mode and walk slowly... while I was still far away 5 feet, the crab suddenly turn back and spit me with range attack. Everyone was shocked. So, some teammates "walked" back to raise me. while I get up, didn't move like the rest. I angered the crab again. Dead... I have no choice but return back to Camp Bald Knoll and tried from the beginning.
When I at the red zone, teammates starts told me to walk along the edge slowly and you will be fine. I did, and died again. Now it even detect me through the corner of the wall... some member back to raise me again. now this Miqo'te asked me to follow her exact steps. I did, but I died again. The kitty still alive...

I tried with bare foot, I still get aggro. I tried lots things, still get aggro. and teammates' suggestions suddenly became another blade that hurts me with the crab's racial discrimination... Finally, I gave up listen to these suggestions such as wear a leather shoes, wear a clothes, don't walk continuously... It's only 4 crabs. I'm going to put decoy on and choco through. I failed. but at least I died at the other end of the red zone.
Problem solved.

But is it really FF14 is against over-weighted Roegadyn?
I guess it's just extremely bad luck.
After we all arrived The Isles of Umbra, we did a test again. The female Lalafell "walked" just near the crab, got aggroed and died. While Miqo'te still avoided the red devil and walking around the crabs. The midlander also got aggroed once and died.
So, I guess SE is not only extremely mean to over-weighted Roegadyn. It just crabs' detection method is a mystery... However, I still can't even walk near the crabs at all XD

Here are the tips for ppl trying to get to that node.
1. decoy is your best friend. pop decoy and choco through!
2. don't count on it, but walk through the crab's back or side might not get aggro
3. Bring friends. 3+ of you guys should at least have one survived. Then you can all get raised. These 4 crabs are the only aggro that's hard to avoid. The rest is very easy.

It's very pretty up there.
Good luck! :D

Did it break your knife?

I was the gld in the beginning. and I even thing it's my blade that made sound so I switch to con... and still got killed :(
crabs hate galkas :(

maybe you just smell yummy to crabs^~^

you should put that story on the loadstone!

After being raised there is a short timespan before the mob rages at you no matter how close you stand.

Didnt you know Rogedyn is a delicacy to crabs? Thier mouth starts to water looking at them.

awww is that because I eat too much cookies?

Hmm... I just went back to do more tests. I found out it's a bug... ^^:
hopes GM won't see this :P

After you dead and get raise, you will somehow have that protective thing help player avoid instant aggro. now don't run but walk. Once you run the immunity will wear. If you walk, these crabs won't attack you. you can tab it's legs, grab its tail do whatever you want.

MOM~~!! I did it!
