    It may have been 'working as intended', but who's to say that the representative didn't think that there was noone attacking the target mobs? From what I understand, the idea of the respawning cultists was to harrass those attacking the lambs, similar to those turn-in fates where you have those static objects you can gather while aggressive mobs wander close-by to attack any who try. With all the attention people heaped on that particular fate was it any surprise that Square would take a look at how it was being handled and make a judgement based on that? Obviously, it wasn't working as intended, just as Amdapor Keep wasn't working as intended nor Castrum Meridianum wasn't working as intended.

    You can still chain really high on the cores one, when people don't hand in you can bank upwards of 80k exp. I was surprised when people actually handed in the cores before 14 minutes were gone past. Meh whatever.

    I'm glad it's gone, I really they went a different way about it though, maybe add NPC's that attack the lams etc. It was fun with things contentiously spawning, gave it a realistic feel.

    Would someone please define the acronym used here? I think of "DD" as damage dealers. Of what subject are we speaking here?

    DD = Dark Devices, mainly use in Northan Thanalan.
    Dark Devices is a FATE that pretty much got you 200k exp per FATE chain, it spawned every 45 minutes or so. That FATE caused a lot of drama and abuse.

    Glad they changed this, way to much drama on that map because of that fate. Just a shame they said it was running as intended then changed it.

    It was working as intended.
    Now the intention is something new.

    This is a dynamic game, and the developers have the freedom to make small and sweeping changes at a whim.
    And we have the freedom to stay or leave at a whim.

    Isn't freedom wonderful? ^.^

    Wasting dev/hotfix time on nerfing a single fate instead of using that time to buff leve/dungeon/hunting log exp.

    Logic, where?

    46 - > 50 is already hell on earth/boring, why make it worse by making it take longer? it's even bad on your FIRST level 50, because you run out of quests f or 3 levels.
