    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 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.

    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.
