Demiatma drop rates are unacceptable

[Shistar]

How would they make it faster exactly? Your post doesn't make any sense to me.
Or are you saying they should suffer more just to prove that they're very supportive or something? That sounds somewhat entitled if that's a thing you'd expect friends to do for you.

Unless I misunderstood, what he meant was likely "a friend would have continued to run FATEs with you until you were done, because one can assume you'd do the same for them if the roles were reversed". My friend group operates the same way.
By running with you, their DPS contributes to the FATE being over quicker, so if they leave you behind not only it sucks because you have to finish farming alone but on top of that it'll be slower too... when my friend needed his last green demiatma, I kept my map open and kept an eye out for any FATEs or CEs that dropped the one he needed, and would taxi us there until he was able to get them all. I know he would have done the same for me.



EDIT: They're also not "suffering" for free, mind you... they still get rewards for participating in a FATE or CE, in or out of Occult Crescent. But I've also farmed duties and FATEs I need nothing from just to help. My friends have done the same for me, because hanging out is also a reward in its own way. I'm not saying your friend must suffer for you, but I am saying it's not a particularly strange thing to see. What the user you're responding to said is nothing odd from my perspective.
