    I was excited to be able to actually get some decent experience for the time I'm able to put into Pagos. However upon entering the instance tonight it seems like the pent up frustrations between the pro chain people and the pro train people have reached epic portions of bad. Those doing the train refused to wait before pulling a NM, and out right laughed at times at those struggling to get there because they were chaining higher lvl mobs to spawn higher lvl NMs. Lots of comments like 'Just stick with the train or lose out' and 'Not our fault you were up there'. Which leaves those of us looking to strike a balance between chaining for our challenge logs and doing the NMs out in the dust of spending more time running back and forth across the map at top speed while praying we make it in time. I never once ran into this issue in Anemos as most of the time the train waited 3-5 min from pop before pulling the NM. Sure there were some that pulled right away, but they were rare in my experience. Now that SE has boosted the NMs in Pagos it's like all common courtesy and decency was thrown right out the window.

    I noticed the same thing Vrankyl and felt bad for the ppl with no mounts especially that missed them. Unfortunately, this game has a rather large population of DBs, I only group when forced to get something I need...

    I'd been running Pagos off and on a while now, still a bit slow leveling there because I went back to anemos to help some FC mates. I'm close to 27 now, with the Pagos changes, I noticed the entire party (non-rezzers) left all healers and rezzers, a rdm and smn (myself) to rez people and get to the NM. We missed 2 or 3 NMs because of this. I honestly rage quit last night because I got tired of our group (tank specifically) leaving people behind and leaving us squish rezzers to deal with everything. As a lower level, it honestly does suck. You can't move quickly across the map and if someone is downed or joins the party and gets downed, you get screwed on getting to content. Maybe I had a bad night or more likely a bad group, it happens. I'll suck it up and try again, but it does seem like it's pretty difficult to get to NMs on time. Apparently, courtesy is something only relevant if you are responsible to the group for keeping them alive.
