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

You can. Unfortunate if it were an Unspoiled node though, as those are only available for a 3hr (Eorzea Time) window, and if anything happens to you, you stop collecting and the node goes away.

So in order to inconvenience you, a hunt mob has to

1. Coincide its several hour spawn with the node spawn, which changes each time it is killed or spawned
2. Have and show up in a spawn with nodes, out of several to choose from.
3. Have relevant attacks aoes or cleaves directed to your position by the players fighting it.
4. Continuously present said threat at that area for 3hrs eorzean time, it takes roughly 20seconds to mine a node.

This is planet aligning.

Regarding using stealth to avoid being killed by hunt mobs, you know that won't work with anybody that doesn't have stealth 3, right?

Also - stealth is not protecting from AoEs and most likely would not from any other mechanics either ...

You've clearly never harversted the unspoiled nodes yourself plus most likely suffer from reading comprehension as well:

1. Different kind of mob, fates and other "danger" stuff spawns on / around nodes all the time and if not some moron is guaranteed to pull it over there anyway
2. No - there is only one unspoiled node.
3. Which is nothing uncommon for even low level basic mob
4. Once you start harversting the node any kind of disruption - be it being hit even for 1 point of damage or you yourself leaving to run to sefty (or simply hitting wromg button by accident) will remove the node and you'll lose your chance of harvesting it till next time it spawns. Plus some fates can easily last longer that is the remaining time to harvest the unspoiled node.

This is someone commenting on stuff they have no clue about ... :P

I wonder how many people have actually seen the overall mechanics of the mobs? Like melt for instance all its special moves are unstunable and cause un-esuna/leech-able paralysis and I saw this because we were fighting it with only 9~10 people and chocos. Most people don't even know one from another of Odin's aoes. So having huge disasterous aoes now for the zerg crowd wouldn't fly when 2.4~2.45 hits and the tail end (Most likely myself) of the population grind for the armor or such. Because there will be a point when hordes of people aren't flocking after Bs anymore, and maybe even A's is SS and SSS ranks are added (Feeling a little monster hunter) which then the content has to still be doable at the bare minimum suggested players.

Repairs are super cheap and you can teleport anywhere at any time though..

Not that I don't think the overworld shouldn't have a little more danger, but I'd like it if we could let this game be FFXIV and not FFXI-2 or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, WoW2.
