So resetting's against the rules now?

[Chocolys]

What I would rather have is if someone does it, the boss grabs them, kills them, deletes their character, and instantly bans them from the game for a year. Harsh, but you have to admit it would really stop it. And all of this would be automated by a move cast by the boss which triggers the SE servers to initiate a ban on the target hit.

That would be bad since resetting a monster also happen accidentally since there is no visible max range. (and also a disproportionate punishment)

However only insta-killing a player (who engaged the monster) just about to reset a boss could be a simple solution to implement for the Dev.

Talk about nanny state.

You gonna call Pokémon Go nanny state then since if you're on an Android without a valid device ID you automatically get banned, or if you move too fast that it assumes GPS spoofer, you get automatically banned, etc?

Disproportionate maybe, but I believe in extremely harsh punishments to act as a deterrent. Though killing the player who engaged it might be a better option, though I still think there needs to be something like an experience point loss and lose a few levels.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Yes I would call it that too. And?

Every time there's a problem in the game, I always see you come in here always advocating for punishments so extreme that it's ripped from a Saturday morning cartoon. People can and will evade or exploit this to get innocents harmed, but I guess that's ok with you since you been wronged at some point in your life and now you want everyone to suffer for the consequences. Don't have children.

Don't have children.

Didn't plan to thank you very much. Haven't wanted children for years. However, just because you tell me not to have children doesn't mean I won't. If I don't have children, I'm doing it on my terms. Capiche? No guess what, you assume wrong, I HAVEN'T been wronged. I just believed rules are rules. And if you got that big a problem with it, go to SE and get me permanently banned from the entire game and forums and hell, have me thrown in prison over it for all I care. Again, rules are rules. If you have me thrown in prison over this, I will take my jail time and criminal record with pride. Because if I get thrown in prison, I've clearly broken a rule and been punished for it. And guess what, there'd be failsafes in place to avoid the evades and exploits. Such as working with aggro meters. I.E. if someone steals aggro then lures it away, it wouldn't trigger (or they'd get triggered by it instead). Won't abuse that easily. And think it's from a Saturday morning cartoon all you want, I will stand by it even if I go to jail over it. Deal. With. It.

Run faster: the end

Resetting should be thought of harassment, All A and S can be taken down quite easily at this point. The idea of waiting and waiting for people to show up. Isn't fair to the people that got there in a timely manor.

Personally I don't do hunts unless I happen to be in the zone when they happen, I hope in the PF do it and if another one is on stick with the group. I don't actively hunt a mob that should be killed with 6-18 people and wait for 200 to show up.

This whole thread is why hunts are cancer.

[JunseiKei]

That shows that this thread is not as forgotten as you think since people actually refers to it.

Just saying, all I did was throw 'FFXIV reset hunt' into Google and found the thread. It's not that I remembered the forums, only I knew there was an official stance posted somewhere and Google would recall it for me.

Nowadays when Google is down, nobody remembers anything


-> with a very visible nuke?

I like hunts. It's just like with every open activity, there is always bad people trying to abuse the mechanics at the expense of the others for their own gain, or just for trolling. If resetting was not possible in the first place, it would lower the possibility for anyone to really mess-up an ongoing hunt.
