Yo-Kai Event: BLU Major Griefing Problem

[Canadane]

one player shouldn't have that much power.

Every player has that much power.

I like your style. It's time to fill up my invisible list!

The forums have an ignore feature too, just thought that was worth pointing out given how many "screw you, got mine" folks seem to be hanging around here as well.

i'm more annoyed by the fact the medals are useless, why cant we turn 10 of them in for a legendary medal to make up for horrible rng?

Every player has that much power.

But only they abuse it. Also, no, I'd rather delete my account than sink to the level of these children. I may be rowdy bastard, but I have my ethics.

Trust me, I have been, lol.

You're leaving convenience and utility on the table.
I'm sure with more limited jobs coming there's going to be more dumb overpowered things to use.

I don't think you should consider it childish, but auspicious.

Again, it goes back to how you use the power you're given. Do you screw others because it's convenient to you? Or do you try to use that power in a positive way? Yeah, of course, it benefits them to delete FATEs to speed up THEIR grinds, but what about everyone else? Did they even consider it? Did it even cross their minds, I wonder?

I refuse to make excuses for people who act in a negative way and brush it off as someone else's problem to be swept under a rug.

Anyway I'm done with this topic. It's going in circles.

[Canadane]

Why not embrace BLU's power and use it for your version of what you deem "good" then?
Start up a FATE party in PF and you can be the BLU to kill everything after everyone has gotten their hit in.

Just keep in mind there might be someone outside the party seeing it like you are now.

I can make a group nobody joins them. When the griefing was blowing up on reddit, people were saying join a group join a group as if that was so simple. I came home from work, and there weren't a lot of them and none of them in the zone I needed. So naturally I made my own party. Nobody joined it. The zone was stuffed with people. So I toughed it out for a bit before I started asking if there was a group available to which I was ignored. As the FATEs melted around me. And nobody cared. People complain in shout chat and in say. Nobody cared. I'm not just making all this up. Hell, I just had it happen again a few hours ago. And all I can do is log out and wait, I guess. My gameplay and evenings are obstructed by selfish greifers. And the world turns.

But I can't insult out precious Blue Mage or SquareEnix's utter incompetence when they desgined a job with its ability to grief with impunity.

And yes, I could play Blue Mage, but I'd rather not be part of the problem. I will get it done eventually, but I refuse not to call it what it is.

I'm sorry your experience has been sour and you haven't been able to find a group or people ignored you. If you need some help grinding still I could tag along if you wanted.

You're conflating two different things. If it takes, let's say, 100 players to melt a hunt mob. That's fine because the damn might of the zone focused itself on one mob.

A single blue mage can end a FATE inside of 10 seconds.

That's the obstruction of gameplay. I couldn't care less about a combined effort nuking a mob. I'd be pissed if you couldn't, but one player shouldn't have that much power. Especially when an event is going on that they are specifically griefing. International or not. Which how can it not be International?
You'd have to be a mental gymnastic gold medalist to believe otherwise. They do it because of the power the job affords them. It literally is the Robert Caro quote I used the other day about power not corrupting, but revealing. These people were always selfish children. Playing Blue Mage in this way simply made their inside feelings manifest outside. They're human garbage, and now since I remembered, I can remove them from my game soon its time to take out the trash!

You've been confusing what griefing means from the start, of course blues nuking things is intentional and obviously people are doing it for their own personal (and their parties) gain, but there is zero maliciousness or pettiness involved in any of this, it's quite simply people trying to do it as fast as the game allows and this is what speed looks like.
Now you DO have the means to keep up with them, again blues cant teleport to fates and they don't fly faster, all it takes is 1 poke while in a party to get gold, or you could go somewhere else if for some insane reason you want to be without a party, but you would rather post on the forums instead of getting it done
