    They nerfed this. You get just the first wave now, and then no more.

    This was because people were killing lambs (and ruining the exp of hundreds of people), so when somebody spoke up and hurt their e-feelings, they cried for nerfs. It was one of those "one person ruined things for everyone" type deals.

    It's one of those "Square saw fit to change it but I'll just blame it on people as if they are the real cause" type deals.

    For starters, I never said anything about yelling at people who ruined the FATE (yes, ruined it, as in ended it early), but it's nice that you're insulting me anyways. Do you always skip to insulting random people on the internet when you're wrong?

    Secondly, people were doing the FATE that way with the blessing of SE, as they said so themselves that it was working as intended. If SE says it's fine, then who are you to say otherwise? You were wrong, and SE said you were wrong.

    Sure, they nerfed it now, but it's because the vocal minority cried so loudly that SE really had no choice but to nerf the FATE. Not because people were "doing it wrong", but because some people were so hellbent on trolling the community by doing the FATE "the right way" (I.E, the wrong way).

    Pretty much this. SE did say so themselves that the way people were doing it was fine as is (no, I don't have a link to where). So what it came down to was people doing it the way they felt it should be done, as in killing the lambs, vs those who didn't want to kill them. When people would kill them, of course people are going to get mad! When somebody runs in and costs hundreds of people 100k+ exp because "lols i killed teh lamms", then of course you're going to get yelled at. Just because it's the way a FATE is meant to be done, doesn't mean that's how you should do it. You need to be a pretty miserable person to ruin things for everyone around you just because.

    Basically, it wasn't nerfed because of the people farming the mobs (the ones NOT killing the lambs), it was nerfed because of the ones who trolled hundreds of people by killing the lambs and watching as hundreds of thousands of exp were lost. In before the "you livls fest alredy" argument by the people who kill lambs.
