Dark Devices is dead.

The problem was that both sides have the right of way, and the rage was ridiculous while being the majority. Especially with those new to the fate and go do the objective, and is suddenly blacklisted by half the community and getting death threats among other vile things said to them. It was extremely common and needed to stop. All DD provided was a festering pool of hate.

It's still easy to level to 50 without mob farming them anyways.

That's a bunch of bologna, as someone who has spent the majority of their time in FFXIV around the ceruleum processing plant, I can promise you that what you just described is an extreme minority event, probably happened at less than .005% of the DDs on Goblin. People tend to speak pretty clearly about what to and not to do during these FATES, especially at prime hours when a bunch of new people would be there. Ignorance to the chat log isn't a good excuse. If you messed up a mechanic in a dungeon because you didn't listen to your tank before a fight you didn't know about, you'd probably find yourself being criticized at the least, and a lot of players would just leave the duty even. That is the game we play. The people on these forums are huge drama advocates and made it seem like every DD was a cussing match, I'm sure, but that is people on the internet for ya.

You realize some people turn off their shouts because of spam? Also, even if the person was told not to kill lambs, he has full right to. Why? Because that's the game we play. Just like people have the right to farm. And believe me, at least on my server, it is NOT a minority event. People foam at the mouth over it.

And you think people who foam at the mouth over other people's bad etiquette (putting their selfish killing of the lambs over an entire zone worth of people trying to level, and wasting HOURS of their lives because this selfish act) are going to change their demeanor and suddenly be BFF with the troll players? No. They will just fight in duties instead, because selfish people will always be selfish, and they will always get called out on it.

And guess what? The vicious cycle would have continued had it not been nerfed. Good riddance.

The vicious cycle? It was already quelled on my server once all the trolls were blacklisted. People weren't just killing lambs, everyone there knew better. I can see the first 2 weeks of the game it being an issue, but it got to the point where it was an understood concept of the late game, sort of like how paladins should shield bash ifrit's eruptions.

I'm sorry but no. It should have NEVER been like that. You people are disgusting with how you react over a game's mechanic being used because you couldn't get your precious easy EXP like your dog has been shot. It's utterly pathetic. To me, the nerf was the only answer and the QQ by the spoiled players brings me much joy.

See we were having a civil conversation, and then you turned it ugly. Your true colors showed, and like I said about it earlier, you're the type who was just mad about people getting that fast xp. To me, the issue is time, not xp. If you work fulltime and only have 2 hours a night to get on the game and you spend that time fating waiting for DD and someone kills the lambs, they just took away a lot of your time and ruined your night. It would take hours to make up that lost xp from other fates, hours a lot of people don't have to spare as easily as you. I agree that leveling to 50 is still relatively easy, but ruining someone's time is a serious offense.

They key word here is abuse. No matter what the game allows or makes inconvenient via gameplay and exp gain, it is never ok to be abusive or rude or harassing to other players. No matter who started out on the right or in the wrong, the moment the above comes in to play that party loses ground, things get nerfed, people get banned, feelings get hurt.


eh that rhymed..

Actually no, I didn't care at all about people getting the EXP. I would've actually done it myself had I the chance. My problem is your pitiful reactions, in which you FEED the "trolls", or abuse the innocent that didn't know better and were just doing what they were supposed to do. "Serious offense"? You're the prime example of people taking it too seriously if you consider simply using the game's mechanics as a serious offense. Get out more.

Get out more? Feeding trolls? I said I blist people without saying anything after the fact to avoid drama on my server, and only have a few hours at a time to play. Your arguments are nonsensical and totally self serving. The most harassment I have seen in this game is to players like myself being called "elitist" and publicly shamed for wanting to be efficient, and people saying we are abusive for ignoring people. Pot calling the kettle black over here.
