Eureka feedback.

So, I had my first ride on the NM train last night. I tried parties, but people only want to fight things 2 maybe three levels higher than them, and the XP was crappy. So I soloed, and I was getting decent XP doing chains of 30.

Then it happened. The fate train went past me and spawned the sea bishop. So I jump in that fight and I get 3K in XP. I'm like WTF, for that little bit of work. So I hop on the train and do three more fates, where I get 6K, 6K, and 7K, so I rode for the rest of the time left. Afterwards, I'm sitting there thinking what have I been missing grinding just to get to level six when I can go from level 6-7 in a fraction of the time.

I was barely damaging these NMs, and died quickly to AOEs. There was actually a point I felt bad because I couldn't really contribute, and people in my party had to continually raise me. But there's absolutely no incentive for anyone to do anything other than run around with the people doing this.

Yuppers, that's pretty much the case at the moment. Don't feel bad that you couldn't contribute though, half the people there don't contribute in any way at all to spawn the NM's. They're called afkers and basically leech off of others, sitting to the side while people kill dozens of mobs just to spawn the NM. But the current system and the entity known as the train promotes that kind of behaviour, I can't fault them for taking advantage of it, I can only slap them on the wrist and say, "No, bad, help kill things damnit".

NM's are simply too rewarding for how frequent they are and how fast they die.
(frequent as in, there are SO many you can spawn. I don't want a 3hr respawn on them)

I think they should nerf the exp/rewards low-level people get from the higher level fates, as well nerf the exp/rewards high-level people get from low-level fates. There's a reason you don't see level 10 people doing level 60 fates or level 60 people in syncing down and doing low-level fates in the starter areas. It's not worth it. Hopefully this would cause players to create multiple groups of different levels instead of just one big group. Plus it would save the low level fates for the people who actually need them. There's no way someone exping on the beach is going to make it to Cactar or the Sea Bishop NM before they're killed, and those low level people are the ones that need it the most.
