Issue with potential 'Reward' for defeating Mobs in L50 Dungeons...

We'll be announcing additional details about the hotfix details soon!

Now, I'm not sure if you were thinking like a bunch of your members were thinking (Mobs dropping 1 Tomestone of Philo each), but this would lead to horrific abuse of CM as a Mob Breeding Ground (and Griefing for people who turn off the Searchlights, like Griefing for people who kill Lambs).

CM infinitely spawns mobs until the searchlights are deactivated, at which point you can proceed w/o risk of suicidal death. If each mob is given 1 Tomestone of Philo (for each person), you could easily rack up 2,000 Philo at the entrance and leave.

There is about a 0% chance they would actually make trash mobs drop Tomestones. Not sure what they intend to do but Tomestones dropping from trash is not it.

Yes, lets all make assumptions instead of actually waiting to see what they do.

They could simply not have searchlight mobs drop tomes...

I wasn't the one who had the initial idea they might have Tomestones. I'm just voicing a warning of the problem it could cause if they DO.

I would estimate that they'll drop a few gil. Back a few weeks ago, threads entitled "can't make any money at 50, repairs too costly" were all the rage.

smart thing would be taking out all tomes from cm/prae

add them to trash in wanderer's/amdapor maybe, but keep the tome farming separate from the story

There should be no rewards from the story dungeons after the initial run anyway.

And then they'll be as dried up as Cape Westwind, a 45 minute wait for a TANK Queue.

This is SE we're talking about here. The "reason" to defeat them is going to end up being that they NEVER leash or that you can't enter the boss arena until all enemies are defeated. I'm kidding... kind of.

There should be no rewards from CM, your right there. But that would cause people to stop running them and people in the story would be stuck eventually without help from Friends.

I don't see why people keep saying that they are going to make killing trash more rewarding. No where in that statement did he say you will be REWARDED, He said we have no reason to kill trash but after the hotfix we will....... Yes we may get some kind of reward 100g/crystals, But I doubt it will be anything awesome like a chance to get a tome. When you do AK/Castrum/Praet there are a lot of mobs that get skipped, SE could Troll and now make it so we have to kill trash.

Most games i play, there is a small pittance dropped from nearly every animal/beast/humanoid/monster thingy. So what, a few "gil" (in FFXIV terms) per mob is STILL better then 1 or 2 gil a DUNGEON :) I don't understand how this would be a negative thing. Sure there are a few zones (CM to name one) where gil dropping enemies may not be a good idea because of the ease of farming. But make it small, hell even 2-10 gil a kill is better then 0!
Perhaps give MOBS a chance to drop Allagan pieces that are level appropriate instead. The vendor trash item is already in the game, they should USE it!

Yup, that... maybe make other categories if you dont wanna hand out the big gils off mobs, like Allagan Bronze BITS = 1/2 of the normal pieces... i dunno, just throwing out ideas cuz im bored at work ;)

Or just hand out tons of Tin Pieces lol... and then make it so that an Armorer, Blacksmith, or Goldsmith could make something involving Allagan Pieces... maybe even Crafted Item Level 90 Allagan stuff ;)
