Hunt Mob Entitlement?

[Kaethra]

It not much different from FATEs.

You're right, its not different than fates. As a Paladin you can flash spam everything in a fate, as a Black Mage you can scathe everything in a fate. And then let everyone else kill it and get full credit.

Aka, the first group that pulls gets full credit... Guaranteed. Everyone else have to compete with each other. If 'everyone else' hits the mob once for a few damage and there is enough people there that that 'few damage' each is enough to add up to kill the mob (as it was in my experience above) then credit goes a little 'wonky'. As in many people won't get credit and many will get little credit. But the first group that pulled the mob, will get full credit, regardless of the damage they did.

Hence.... you see the mob, get your group there and pull it as soon as possible. That's how it was designed. If its not how it was intended (design can be different from intent). Then they'll change it. But until then, grab it and kill it before it goes up to lady luck to decide who gets credit.

I don't have any problems getting full credit when my group doesn't pull first. What's your excuse?

And that's why healers are the best class to bring. Toss out a tiny attack and then spam Medica. If your party isn't afk, you'll get full credit.

This is why they should consider opening up a public test server.

Not convinced, in same games the PTS is used as a stick by some community members to beat those who voice a complaint Oh well, if you played on the PTS we wouldn't have these problems.

This is wrong. Naoki has said he did not expect people to do what they did (hunt LS, alerting entire server), which clearly means they didn't intend for everyone, their fathers, and their dogs to join in on the hunt.

I think it's a credit to the FFXIV players that, on the whole, we do try and co-operate
