Yo-Kai Event: BLU Major Griefing Problem

[LittleImp]

The amount of complaining has to be a result of people just not understanding how to leverage the games mechanics to work around BLUs.

I've watched a few friends do the event, and they've had basically 0 issues. If anything, they have been actively benefiting from the rate at which fates are dispatched by the BLUs. Just get credit, and leave.

Honestly, at this point, it might just be a difference between how much experience / understanding / execution people got with the game.
If they don't understand how some basics work, it just goes over the head.
(which Is fine, long as they learn and figure it out eventually. But if they somehow don't over a long time. and then make it e everyone else's problems, then ot becomes an issue.)

When on my main with BLU all I did rush, and Chimera Lightning(Since I didn't bother to grind for hydro pull, yet) and every other player in the party aoed with normal job skills.

when on my ARR locked Alts, I just used my aoes, either a tank, ranged. as others did the same.

once it was about half way through the fate, I would attempt to disengage(if a boss fate), or fly away once all the emnitied mobs died, and tag the next oldest fate(so when everyone on the party caught up, they can easy tag into the participation. Rinse, repeat, and only progress it enough for participation, so other players can get their points.

Hell, doing that as solo works as well, long as you stick long enough for gold/silver and head out fast enough.

In the end, They are wasting their time actively being mad about something that will not change, instead of working with blues and it being overall happy for all.

There's no "working with Blues" when the majority are only out for themselves, and one is better off doing what they can to minimize dealing with them as much as possible, especially knowing how blacklisting will work in the future because if they act like this during an event, they probably act like that in *all* content. It's not even like they're actually being punished or anything, I'm just "using the tools provided to me by Square" as those particular Blue Mages like to say. Fair is fair is all.

All I can say is I managed to get 1, yes 1 legendary medal the entire time (and quite literally the last one I needed to finish the last weapon set) out of all the times that I got stuck with a blue mage in the same fate with me. Got so ridiculous that I started leaving zones just because I would realize a blue mage was there.

So glad I am done with that event. And to think, the game is about to add another limited job sometime during the next expansion. May the gods have mercy on the hate that will generate when the time comes.

Sounds like you need to embrace the power and utility of Blue Mage yourself for the next time.

I don't think you understand how blacklisting will work.

Come to think of it, I'm sure that the following is going to happen: a flood of complaints from people abusing the blocking feature about "cheaters using invisibility hacks".

Ghost investigation TV series but in FF14 instead of old creaking houses.

So you're just going to bl every blue you see doing fates? Other than suffocating your bl this will accomplish literally nothing XD

And complaints about how BLUs aren't making or joining parties (when actually they are, with people who haven't blacklisted them).

As it stands, it makes you unable to see anything that someone says/emotes, and later on it turns people outright invisible outside of instanced content. Which makes sense really, a lot of Blue Mages pretend you don't exist, and when they do notice you, it's just to send rude tells/emotes anyway. So making them disappear and silent seems ideal.

"But the player will still appear inside of instanced content when playing other jobs."

Yes, but I don't have to put up with anything they say there either, and it's just as well since there's a pretty good chance they weren't going to say anything nice or helpful anyway. (Case in point: This very topic.) Admittedly I've used Blue Mage myself for farming FATEs, but I've been doing it mostly on my nigh-dead home server late at night to avoid *other* Blue Mages (for reasons already stated), *and* to avoid non-Blue Mages because I already know how they're going to react to my very presence (even though I don't have whatever spell it is that shatters frozen enemies) and well, fair next I guess, because that's the kind of sentiment the community helped to foster about this event and I'm not magically exempt from the same treatment if I get blacklisted too just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I mean they'll still be around killing mobs, only you won't see them. I have no idea how this will supposedly help you in any way but suit yourself.
