Do people do treasure maps outside FCs?

That was a random example.

making things up is not a good way to make an argument

Well, maybe we need to talk about the owner getting more out of maps, especially if they lead everyone to the end.

well then they should do it themselves if they don't want to share.

"leading"? Its all rng.

It's also more than others will contribute by not even getting a portal. I've seen people walk off with millions worth of stuff when I'm the one that gambled and won in the first place. One was kind enough to give a tip.

Imagine winning in Vegas and random people get to gamble on your winnings. That's some BS.

I think "with your FC" or "With friends you can slap IRL" is the only way to do maps.

If you do "everybody needs" folks drop out just before it's thier turn to produce a map, as there's no reason to keep them in.
If you do "Owner needs, everybody else greeds" then when an item IS good enough, somebody else will just NEED on it, get the item when they shouldn't, and run off.
If you do "lootmaster" nobody joins, because those are always a scam.
If you JOIN a "lootmaster" the leader will take the best items once the items that show up are good enough, because it's ALWAYS A SCAM.

If you can't slap the leader for being rude, it's just not safe.

If you want to lead a group, knowing YOU will be honest... nobody else can be sure of you, can they, unless they can slap you in person.


You can only really trust a person who is close enough to slap.

For my parties, bringing your own map is optional - I have enough in my moogle mail to keep us going for an hour. That's stated in the PF comment along with Free-For-All looting. There's no way to cheat that


FYI for everyone: the new Oophorectomy Maps are found at Elpis gathering points, and are the only hidden item there (So no spending 200 GP ten times because you keep getting Segaskin Maps)

it's normal to do treasure hunt with randoms in PF, atleast in my server

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

I don't like doing maps outside of FC's or friend groups. I want my stuff from my map that I gathered or bought not some rando to claim it and dip

[hagare]

open up a PF, then invite the people there to join your TH LS

Lets say a mount drops in the map party and it's your map and someone outrolls there goes your chance because RNG is never in our favor and you let someone else get it. F that

what mount drops in TH?

[LianaThorne]

There kinda has to be a reason for everyone to be there imo. If I see any PFs where the leader gets first choice on items, I'm avoiding that like the plague. I've seen way too many parties where they just need everything and give nothing to anyone else.

I also am kinda split on my feelings about "map owner needs" because what do you do in situations when Person A & C don't have a single map pop a portal and everyone else does? That's two people coming along knowing they won't be getting anything and wasting their own time.

FFA is ultimately the fair way of doing things so everyone gets a chance at getting something. Even if you don't, at least you had the same chance as everyone else.
