Any reason for Diadem (Easy)?

Well probably to prevent those botters and gillselers to run afoul in Diadem and monopolizing the ingredients. If anything they should make it impossible to gather unless you clear the entire island lol. Thus all gatherers will be forced to clear an entire island - or work together with "fight only group" to clear it for them. While the gatherers can then gather stuffs, and maybe spawn higher tier mobs for the "Fight Only" group to kill. Thus both group need each other and work together. Right now, once the goal is cleared, its everyone to do their own shit and see you later butter face!

I'm not sure if you've seen botters move around before, but they teleport inside objects/landscape. I don't think regular routes of aggro are a problem for them.

I wonder how to deal with the "flying island" altitude? You can still do the same thing?

Simple fix: Make it so NO gathering nodes spawn until everything on that island is dead. I think that could choke bots for a while.

With how long things take to kill and the respawn rate of monsters, you'll never be able to clear islands..

I dunno, if you REALLY focused and pushed yourself you could possibly do it. We seemed to kill things at a good rate despite only being say 6 of us.

You can clear a tiny island with 4 mobs. I am sure there are a few somewhere. Hence maybe SE should create a gatherer only Diadem full of easy prey monster that drops only bronze chest and gears level 150, rarely 180, that gatherers can clear easily and go back gathering. No need to clump them with the rest of the players who only there to fight for gears.

they should also make it so that mobs don't respawn until someone gathers a respawn item.

This is a serious idea that should be implemented ASAP!! Kill everything in the island, gathering nodes appear for 10 minutes only, then mobs respawn and have to be killed again. Glad stealth does not work there, those big monsters are hungry and need to be fed. Gatherer can sacrifice themselves, for every 20 gatherers who died, a rank 5 will spawn lol.

Nice idea, with a 5 minute respawn timer for every killed enemy

How I see it:
easy = to farm fast tokens for materia (needed in 3.2)
normal = to farm gear (have to see what ilevel will drop in 3.2)

I have never spiritboned anything in diadem since you can't get grade 5 crafting/gathering materia anyway. but do the weakest diadem enemies give the same amount of spiritbond as the strongest?

Getting materia with tokens is way too slow.
