Elite Hunt with SE ... nothing for free

[Eidolon]

I've heard... stories regarding hunting Linkshells, however nothing was even similar to this. (What I heard was more about the general attitude of people in said linkshells)

I suppose it depends on the attitude. There's definitely a feeling of 'inclusion' with most Hunt-LS's, though. My current Hunt-LS, for example, demands that you not share any information with any other LS's, and will actually get mad if you share any pop locations with your current full-party.

They also get mad for not using <pos> and <t>, even if you're nowhere near the mob and are just relaying information to help them move faster.

It's pretty toxic, but it's voluntary.

I'm sure it's from his Anus.

I've claimed Serket inside GC plenty of times without the use of any tools. I've claimed Behemoth without use of any tools. These mobs aren't the hardest to obtain when you put the littlest amount of effort.

I just noticed it's also from a guy who claimed summoner are the way they are because Yoshida apparently worked for Blizzard so he'd know Affliction Warlock. It's addling how people can come up with these claims.

And it's begun on my server. Just saw someone spamming /shout to advertise selling Rank A and S kills for 100k.

Theres another thread about same issue.

It's stupid how SE didn't see this coming.

What's stupid is the lack of SE speaking in any of these threads. I don't care if there's a Live Letter in two weeks (where they will, like always, dodge the issue). They need to respond to their customer's concerns, immediately.

..They need to respond to their customer's concerns, immediately.

How do you expect them to response immediately when we don't even speak the same language.

The JP ONRY thingy don't only extend to games.

Like I said before.

1) Takes them time to gather data
2) Takes them time to translate the data
3) Takes them time to put up a response
4) Takes them time to translate the response
5) Takes them time for the patch to go through

Even they know it will screw up the gameplay or players, instantly after the patch goes "live". It will still go through the same process. Why? Because Red Tapes.

So unless it concerns:

1) Affects JP/EN/EU players all at 1 go, which caused a huge Firestorm like the AH gil jack hack
2) Affects Credit card Security
3) Affects Server Security like DDOS, etc

We will not see a response immediately.

You know why Alukah?

75k per head, with 100 members, that's 7.5 million gil freely handed to you. Yeah I can guess why too. Not even mentioning you can then boot people out for "not following the rules"

Same, dont even care about them. I'll just continue with the regular dungeons and raids after the atma quest I'm sick of all the grinding content.

I don't care about hunts either but I would like some of the GC gear you get from Allied Seals & that's what bums me out. This is (from what I heard) the only way atm to get Allied Seals. No way will I have a chance at these stupid Elite Hunts. And I'm not about to join a LS considering everyone seems to be douches about Hunts lol

Well at least that's what I gather from here, I'm just gonna wait till there is other ways of obtaining Allied Seals ^_^

It's been quite a few years since I've read about this and didn't think I'd ever see this pathetic claim again. While I am absolutely against cheating, I think I can safely guess you're just spewng conjecture around. Or did you have any sort proof that everybody that claimed HNM in FFXI botted ?

Not sure what game you were playing, but claiming bots were part and parcel of HNM in XI. If you wanted to get hold of any of them consistently you pretty much needed claiming assistance. Or some other shell with bots would beat you to the claim.

Of course this wasn't so much the case later on, but when Kings and Cerb/Khimaira/Tiamat were in full demand, you can bet your ass all of the top shells had people using claim bots. Serket is a daft example, it wasn't worth camping for any serious HNM shell. Nobody cared about NQ behemoth either, the only reason to kill it was to get ToD for the next window. Post Abyssea is was pretty common to see him walking around unclaimed.

And SE did learn from it, they stopped making ground HNM's in XI, or made them harder to bot claim e.g. Ixion and Sandworm.

Part of the problem is that players can attack a boss they do not have a bill for. So now you have players farming elites for seal and tomes. That is a mistake SE should correct. Make it like leves where other players can not attack a target that is not theirs. I used to shout out boss names and positions (macro) but now considering hunt LS's and players actually trying to sell spawns ( I can see some griefing here) I probably will no longer do that. I was only doing it so those that needed it knew it was up and where. As for FFXI, I avoided sky after a brief stint with a LS ( got to the point they wanted me to do dynamis and other end game with them only, don't think so ).

Why do ppl think it's wrong if ppl make money through game mechanics?
It's like real life, people come up with a bussiness, and if other ppl like it they pay for it.

An mmo is like another world, another life, and you don't always need to play within the games boundaries

As long as it's not RMT or Scamming I don't mind it. I think it adds an extra level to the game
