Ok, I've had enough of something, but does the community as well..

So again, why are there no diminishing returns on this?

To annoy the hell out of us is all I can think about...

THIS WOULD BE ALL FINE AND GOOD IF THE MOBS WE'RE DANGEROUS!!

I completely agree.

While it doesn't deter me from doing Beastmen dailies I too really find Heavy to be extremely annoying, not terrifying.
Not only are the mobs not strong enough to even make me worry, as they completely stop chasing you once you set 1 step out of their normal roaming area you don't even get threat by numbers.

I think the timer should be lowered, that's it. Maybe down to 10 or 15 seconds? 30 is a little extreme, especially when the damn mob lands heavy seconds before it de-aggros...

[Taruranto]

lol slow, back in the days when you agro'ed something you had to run to the zone while a train of mobs followed you.

[MurakumoMillennium]

My dailies took an extra 30 seconds because I couldn't be bothered to avoid or kill mobs!

I think they should make the penalty worse, simply because people complain about something that isn't a big deal, and is working perfectly fine.

When it happens, get off your chocobo and sprint. Or play a class that can cleanse it, like WHM, SCH, PLD(?), DRG...

Sprinting with Heavy is actually slower. The effect is on you and stays until it wears or gets removed, unlike 1.0 where it was just the Chocobo being lamed.

Jump up on your mount with a level 1 class if you have any left. Then run through Sapsa... See how long before you're dead...

I understand the level 1 sentiment, but I want to feel afraid walking in there at level 50.
Getting hit with Weight should invoke an "Oh shit!" response at any level, not an "Oh piss off!"

We're not going into a beastmen zone at level 1 if we don't have a reason to, even if it is to feel "afraid".
By the time the game sends us in with a purpose we have already reached a level where individual mobs aren't even a threat anymore.
Things might get a tad hairy for a fresh level 50 int their AF loins if there are 3 or more mobs beating on them, but even that can be solved by running 10 meters in any random direction as they lose interest once we move out of their personal space anyway.

There is no threat, there's nothing to be afraid off, there is no reason to have to sneak around.
And why? Aparently because placing high level mobs in certain locations "would be too stressful".

[Synapse]

Its the cheap way for SE to make the world appear "dangerous".. instead of actual high level danger..... its not dangerous...Its ANNOYING!!

[Yumi_umi]

Put dark matter golems everywhere. Problem solved lol.
Ain't no lalafell getting past those guys. NONE.

Before i even got to the gate i died from an auto attack outside by a jellyfish.
Then when i finally got inside i died from another auto attack / heavy attack thing from the gate guard.
Try running it with a DoL level 1 class.
