    Personally, I like the competition. People are usually pretty fun about it on Balmung at least. I'm used to FFXI where mobs took about 5-10min to spawn and you still got outclaimed. There's a pretty wide area where the Apkallu spawn and they respawn pretty quickly as it is. If you really want to gurantee you get drops, make a farming party. It sounds silly at first, but if you are having trouble getting spawns, you can at least have a chance. I've made a few friends that way . On my BRD I can get about half a stack in 30min or less, which is plenty.

    It'll just shift to another mob after a "fix". Just like the Webs.

    Then, you may be more fast tagging or use an aoe.

    If you are tagging theirs mobs maybe he leave the spot

    I only find it annoying when I'm making raid food. But with the spawns currently I'll get about 15 eggs before I give up

    At least on Excalibur these mobs are farmed 24/7 by usually 2+ people and I think there's only around 12 (edit: actually more like 17-18) of them. I feel like the high demand for apkallu eggs (like diremite webs, fleece, etc) wasn't considered when the team decided to have so few ways of obtaining them.
    I guess they won't.

    Please don't increase the drop number, only increase the numbers of Apkallu camps.

    this is where him going with the no open world grinding is an issue. when mobs need people farming them and you have hundreds to thousands of people on at once it becomes a disaster. there's only a few mobs per spot and they respawn quite slow. then add on top there's usually 8+ people farming them in that small area on excalibur consistently and it becomes problematic. it's gotten to where when i go i stay until i get 2-3 stacks and will just try to pull every mob there. sure, it may take me an entire day to farm them, but hey i don't need to go back to farming them again for a long time.
