Holding back hunt mob mechanics so the innocent can survive? Seriously?

My god I wish some of the complainers had to mine for adaman ore in Ifrit's Cauldron.

The difference is that in one game, you were on your main job which had ways to deal with these situations. In this game, they threw away the side-job aspect of leveling these gathering classes and instead made them a super weak and useless class that can't do much of anything in the way of protecting themselves. I think that some of the things gatherers are asking for aren't unreasonable. You are comparing apples and oranges with bringing up XI in this instance.

I was trying to draw the comparison between difficulty, rather than the main job/sub class difference. Even though you were on a "battle-class" in ffxi, it was still way more difficult than what you have in FFXIV. I know this game isn't ffxi, I just find it funny that DoL's are complaining about an S rank hunt mob killing them while they're trying to harvest. It really isn't that hard to avoid, especially if you're using stealth / paying attention.
