    You can only clear 6 times an hour, so even if people stay for 3 hours, you only get 18 clears and the drop rate means you are lucky to see it once. After the drop rate is nerfed, you are lucky to see it 2 or 3 times. Over time, it becomes quicker to kill so you can get more kills per hour, but the drop rate still isn't good enough for everyone in the party to get a mount unless they die fast like an ARR extreme.

    These parties are worth joining if you have no intention of looting it and just want the totems, but otherwise I suggest for people to avoid them.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    This is why I never attempt to farm mount any EX. I’m content with just waiting for moogle tome lol.

    Oh I keep it in writing that I will be getting the mount last/am not rolling on the mount. It's how I got my last SB dog, took maybe 2 hours for 7 people to get their mounts, everyone was grateful. It works, just gotta make sure that certain stipulations are in writing

    I think suggesting that people avoid them full stop is kind of what leads to lootmaster not being used unless for nefarious means. If more people understood how they worked (rather than "avoid them") we'd probably have more happy runs.

    I usually do 5 unsynced runs on PF for the old mounts. I keep it at 5 so people don't get bored and start thinking about dipping.
    Whoever gets it, gets it.
    I only ask that you stay for 5 runs.
    Sometimes people stay to do 2/3 extra runs if to help the ones who didn't get it in the 5 runs.
    I don't remember ever getting one that gets one and dip xD
    Maybe I'm just lucky.

    huh, I should do one again sometimes. I still need a bird and a puppy.

    It is totally up to you, your call. I can only speak to my experience, and the fact I can now never trust others not to do the same.

    I've run them multiple times so it's not like it's a passing thought ahah. Granted, I don't really see many lootmaster PFs on Aether, so when I run them people tend to know I'm good for my word.

    I've seen lootmaster a couple time on Primal. It looks sus to me. That's probably just me having little trust in people, with all they do.

    After doing unsync and current runs, I prefer the latter. It's just more satisfying, even if I never get the mount. I got good at it, probably got some other loot and have plenty of stories to tell. I find unsync runs are very dull, especially with transitions.

    I know the pain. Happened on Bismark, Sofia, Shinryu, Seiryu, Suzaku & Titania for me.
    Truely I was experiencing the End of Days XD

    Joining a lootmaster is like clicking the 300 mil raffle link and getting your account hacked. You're asking to get scammed if you join that kind of party

    15+ Mount drops on Seat of Sacrifice and 99 tokens. That is suffering my friend.
