Open world content = Major +

Better to do in a party = Major +

Decent gear from open world = Thank god about time Huge +.

Everyone can hit it = Major -

It is a mindless Zerg = Major -

It is a Fate without a marker on it. There is no difference from Odin and an S class hunt mob.

As many problems as this event has... it is probably the best thing they added to XIV in awhile.

It is a huge step forward for SE, but it is still only a FATE with a decent reward. SE needs to abandon the FATE mechanics. If Yoshida is against mob claiming... these should of been put into Leves or something similar instead. Everyone fighting 1 mob in the open world fails when it becomes the focus of open world.
