My personal favorite is when everyone else gets their mounts and I'm the last one who needs it, and then everyone suddenly has to leave. Because of course they do.![]()
It's for this reason I started running lootmaster PFs. I made sure to specify that people would get their mount in order of joining, and that's kind of prevented people from dipping.
I avoid lootmaster PFs because the chances of more than 1 dropping before everyone gets tired and leaves is extremely low. The person who joined first is obviously the party leader, so I see these parties as a scam.
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 writingI avoid lootmaster PFs because the chances of more than 1 dropping before everyone gets tired and leaves is extremely low.

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.
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 think suggesting that people avoid them full stop is kind of what leads to lootmaster not being used unless for nefarious means.

Once burned.
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.
Has happened to me, FC leader lied to my face ( of course ) to get me to fill their roster for the run, after all of their "raider" buddies had the mount, all of a sudden its "Oh Im too tired: or "I have to go now"..he and his raider mates got the mount and I walked away empty handed.
You have no idea just how angry i was after that. Since then , I have a very hard time trusting anyone when it comes to these.
Said FC leader then told me that theyd organise another run..later what did they say when asked?
"Its hard to get people for a run when they already have it"
Said second run of course never happened.
That particular person and his friends will live on my blacklist for eternity..I dont tolerate being lied to, and I dont appreciate being used.
I will wait till i can solo it and then get the mount myself.
Word of advice, unless you get them to say IN WRITING they will make sure you get that mount, dont join any group for these. They want you to fill their group and cant be trusted not to screw you over.
