How is this NOT harrasment/griefing?

That's why level cap, or alternatively level syncing, would come into play. In FFXI your high-level gear stats would automatically, and proportionally, scale to the lower level, without needing a gear swap, so the solution already exists.

Didn't play FFXI but yea, that would be a nice way to go about it.

What I did out of respect for other players when I did the acheives was stay out of the party, let the party tag the mobs, then 1 shot them. Worked out for all. They get the xp and all can finish the behest quickly.

That's exactly what i did too

Let's get this straight people he Is Doing Something Wrong but he is not breaking the rules. People can act in an immoral way and still be acting within the letter of the law.

I have always thought that upon joying Behest, participants should be auto-grouped into a single party that way a solo individual can not claim Behest mobs.

Like we've said before, that would not solve the problem. He'd still be ruining the party by joining it.

And as we said before on this very thread, the solutions to all these woes already exist.

Without knowing all the facts at hand, what is being described by the OP is jackassery. If someone came up with a real solution for that, he/she would be certain to win the nobel prize. While there is no reason to act in the manner being described, there is a reason for higher level players to participate in behests, whether you personally agree with them or not.

If there was a forced party system, then the OP still wouldn't have gotten xp for the mobs and the 50 still wouldn't have had to kill the boss mobs at the end of the behest. If there was a level cap, the 50 would have been lowered to the max level of the behest, which still would have caused the mobs to spawn at the same rank they did originally. None of the solutions presented here would have changed the OP's problem, short of communicating, understanding that both sides have something to gain and acting accordingly.

I have to ask, what reason is there to kill the mobs, but not the boss?

I just did a behest in Nanawa Mines, and the other person was a JP THM, who was actually level 37. He invited me (on my 33 CON) to a PT, and we killed all the mobs. Yet when the boss spawned, I started fighting it, and he just stood there while I solo'd it.

Aren't the achievements for completing behests, not just participating in them?

want to know the reason? its pretty simple

OP probly got all pissy and started going off on the person hes whining about the moment he killed the first mob in behest outside the group. this happens ALOT.

lack of communication, which leads to someone feeling wronged, and instead of working out something, they go overboard, start yelling, screaming and insulting, and then feel like they have been majorly wronged still when the other person doesnt change their ways.

i bet OP probly did this and thats why the guy left the boss up, so OP didnt get any exp cuz hes not telling the whole story


there are always 2 sides to it, and he sure as hell aint gonna say anything that would make him look bad in any way shape or form

Oh, I'm certain that's true in that case, but in my case it was confusing. We weren't getting pissy, we were very cordial, he just didn't want to kill the boss for some reason. I was just curious if there was something I was missing or not.
