Issues with Chest farmers

[EdwinLi]

Therein lies the lose-lose situation. But hopefully if its an antsy person they'll drop earlier.

but it still won't stop the issue because from what I've seen most of these chest farmers are people already up in Coil and they're doing this to get the gil for paying their own bills in endgame.

These chest farming is already holding potential skill endgame players back from entering endgame through means of blocking player from gathering the gear needed for AK.

Ya they can say farm Castrum for DL but that is their mentality they have because they spent their time farming Castrum for their DL set before entering AK and Primal HM.

They're white items- distributed instantly. Ran into this same problem with WP.

Oh so they're after the instaloot chests? My mistake I thought they were going for the gear chests.

[Tareel]

Wow. I am surprised, but not so surprised, that people would pull that kind of crap.

WTB Vote Kick. ;;

Though, vote kick will be quite ackward in a 4 person group. Since two people could still troll successfully. Ah well, nothing is perfect.

If 15 minutes is so important to them that they want to force someone else to drop first so they won't get lock out, why would they stay 30 minutes? I know we can't expect these players to be logical, reasonable people, but if they're antsy about 15, they hopefully won't stick around.

This person has Full DL set, Relic, and Allagan shield. Not only that this person is at current endgame with everything a endgame person can dream of having.

I don't know what is going on in his or her head but having all the best gears and stuff in the game must have gone to his or her head enough to make him or her wait out that long since there is no place to go with all current endgame burned through already for him or her.

Kind of a hard stop.. but I could imagine making it so all loot is distributed at the end of a dungeon or once the timer is up. It might encourage them to finish the dungeon with you (or wait the whole hour and a half).

It would also stop farming the first few chests of a dungeon and then rejoining which, imo, that farm strategy seems kind of silly and unintended. Though that'd be something SE would have to decide if intended or not. For normal groups it might encourage people from leaving as easily as well (may say "one more" one more time than usual lol).

[trixster]

in the end the SE solution is going to be to remove the items before the first boss.

I havent done much dungeons in 2.0 but cant you just try to out lot them. (The dungeons i have done, most people just ninja lot at last seconds anyways).

How do you even ninja loot in this game? From coffers, it goes to different people. I've gotten things when someone else opened the chest, and boss drops only lets certain jobs/classes need or greed.

Oh and just to mention, SE does not consider this against the rules. Reporting them does nothing.

Here is their response to when I reported one:

[LemmingKingXXX]

Reporting may not do anything directly, but the more reports come in the more obvious it becomes that this is an issue for their customers, enough of an issue to maybe get some action.

SE doesn't realise how serious this harassment and abuse of the current system is right now because not enough people are reporting this issue when they see it.

Simply leaving them alone will not convince them to stop because they know the new players who just reach endgame will cater to their whim.
