So did SE screw over people just because player do Diadem efficiently?

No reason to do it anymore.

I don't see why people did it so much to begin with, there other ways of also getting 210 gear that better diadem just a mindless zerg that from what I have heard diadem 210 is not even that great and just inflating your ilvl.

Unless your class doesn't have the option for the stat build you want because SE decided that SCH shouldn't have crit so you have to pray to RNGeesus for a Notorious Monster to spawn and not a Rank 5, then that it is a healer piece, and then that it is specifically a healer top, then that it is a healer top with decent crit, then that it is a healer top with decent other stats so the crit doesn't become a detriment, then you have to beat the other healer for it in a roll.

Pegasus Mount?!

Pegasus Mount?!

You could get that in 4-6 runs, unless you were really unlucky.

Here's a noble idea. If you want the best stats that you want without the worry of randomness or being able to get lucky with stats, do Alex Savage. Oh that's right, A3S is too much a headache for the majority.

On Japanese servers when a Hunt pops there's a lot of people waiting patiently and not abusing the system/pulling early due to impatience.

Though if you've followed what SE have said in interviews, you'd know that this wasn't how they intended Hunts to work. The idea was that people would kill B ranks as they found them, pull in a party from the nearby area for A ranks, and pull people in from across the whole zone for S ranks. It was never the intent that people would be coming from all across Eorzea for them.

So if the definition of "abusing the system" is simply not doing things the way SE intended, this is just as much "abuse" as the way Diadem has been being run.

Not sure what about running Savage is "noble". Besides, as the poster a few posts above you pointed out, the gear from Savage does not always have "the best stats" for a class. Not to mention that even if they do, Diadem gear is still capable of having either even more of those same stats, or those same stats plus other ones.

You're doing it wrong. I went with a full premade to HM last night; basically, people were all split up with 1-2 parties on several different islands. When someone would get tracks, they'd give a shout and give everyone a minute to get there.

We got credit on 3 or 4 of the S ranks, and could do much better if we went in a full alliance and just farmed on our own.

You do realize alliances break into their individual groups once you enter right? The only reason you have that option is so you can get multiple groups into the same instance easily.

The problem with this screenshot is that Dino Island isn't the best place to be my group and another went between 2 islands killing Rank V Pterodactyls and we ended up getting a lot more gold coffers than just sitting there getting hit by Sunas and fighting the big T rexs. Trikes used to be the best before the nerf as the mobs died fast and had no abilities, where Dino Island just has too many AoEs and knockbacks for groups to farm at their best.

I did it a few times. Ill run it tomorrow to see what difference this makes on where groups go and such. I only do the regular one.
