A griefer story

[Amyas]

Aaaah... once upon a time in FFXIV 1.0, there was a place called Natalan. It was the best place to level to 50 and after 50 it was the best place to spiritbond for materia.

Everyone wanted this small piece of Eorzea. Battles were fought, feelings were hurt, tears were shed. Terrible things were done, terrible things were said.

In the end... we all got over it.

Now we are in 2.0 where people fight for half a second over some Banemites or Fleece camps and come to the forums to complain about it. How things change....

Several parties competing in 1.0 for xp camps is a bit different than purposely resetting mob's aggro so others can't out claim you :T
Nice false equivalence though.

I realize my post made me look kind of like a jerk. No i don't condone stealing mobs just out of spite. If you get a claim it's yours. What I'm saying is your agenda with the mob is not more important than mine. In the case of my apkallu farming, once I got civil conversation out of the levelers it ended up they just wanted a few mobs, not for me to leave or stop farming. I am perfectly happy to do this.

I don't have a problem with farmers, or being 'outfarmed'. But like I said above ^ doing that is just plain crappy.

Someone is a douche to you so you return the favor? Way to be the better person :P

Maybe now he knows he can and will be out pulled if he chooses to be a d***wraith from now on.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Kite the mob ---> Reset Claim.

? never noticed that in 1.0. Even xp camps seemed to be easy to get without having to compete, if there was a group at the entrance, move farther in, group in middle, move to wolf camp, etc.

And it no more justifies greifing. You're just as bad as the person you're complaining about.

Perhaps by your twisted sense of morality.

I would agree if it was affecting someone other than the farmer, but, it wasn't.

.... It's exactly the same....

In 1.0 you couldn't get any credit unless you claimed the mobs. That's why it's called a claim war. The same thing happened with people trying to get the Imperial hats to drop.

Kite the mob ---> Reset Claim.

Whenever I go farming for my weaving I keep an eye out for level appropriate characters in the area who seem to be trying to tag my farming mobs. I stop pulling and send them a tell to see if they need em for, quest/hunting log, or whatever. Usually it turns into a pleasant conversation, I let them tag what they need, help them kill it, and they finish up and I go back to farming. Everyone's happy. ^^ I even talk to other farmers and negotiate things, sometimes ending up teaming up with someone, or sometimes I'll just give them the camp if they've only got 1 hour before bed or something. I can always go craft with what I've gotten so far and come back later on.

Why not just say "Feel free to claim the mob but can I kill it to fill hunters log?"

Boom. He gets drops. You get hunters log.

I tried .-.

psst they spawn in more than one spot .... but I guess having the brain power to say spot A is crowded ill move to spot B or even C is difficult so instead I'll just post on the forums complain the world isn't fair and when I need something everyone should stop what they are doing for me.

Reading is hard, I guess? The guy had the entire zone of them like clockwork, I don't know of any other banemites, do you? In Aurum Vale maybe...

Do you play Dark Souls or did you come up with that on your own?

If you're coming from there, you should be absolutely jaded towards griefing. Take a backstab like a brave knight and go down to join the rest of the wormfood while he saps out your humanity.

If not, eh, *cough*....carry on.

*smokebomb*

lol yeah I got it from Dark Souls. Should probably be used to it, but in DS the whole point of the pvp part of the game was griefing xD
