So why are the rewards adjusted? I get less because there are less competitors?

Yes. It means you're more likely to qualify so the rewards are less.
Leaving a lobby should give a 30 min penalty like leaving another duty. It’s quite annoying to be penalized because people are botting and trying to get solo instances. That 100 win achievement really messed up this event.
What sucks is even if they put the 30m penalty on it, the people who abused the system early are rewarded for it and get a rarer "prestigious" title
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
It is a wild change how people played day 1 to now.
Now just seeing that waiting list going up and down is obnoxious (ended up replaying because I missed 1 item, thank godness i only needed 100 currency)
Yeah, as someone who just put their nose to the grindstone for the first 5 days to get it I was annoyed when people mass entering then leaving to force a solo instance started to become a regular occurrence around the third day. I was using it as a means to buy a bunch of dyes and this moronic behaviour definitely impacted that. At least it's here until the end of the year as something to waste some time on when I feel like it, but the lengths people are going to in order to cheat in what amounts to a silly fun racing minigame are just plain depressing to see. Thankfully the silver lining is that the people actually cheating have their names displayed loud and proud when they fly right on up to the crown so reporting them is easy enough, I just haven't been fortunate enough to bump into one yet.

Also there is a 100 wins achievements on a limited time event that is literally ran on servers powered by hamsters so a lot of people can't even get a single win.
2 wrongs don't make a right, but I don't see you talk about the issues I have put in my OP, you'd rather attack other players instead of asking SE to fix the absolutely terrible netcode.
I know a lot of yall are scared of hurting the small indie company called square Enix, but I promise they'd get through it financially, but hey, snitching on players is easier than advocate for a better game by fixing the netcode and server tick issues.
Go you, you're doing great to make sure this game never improves.
The net code sucks. That doesn't excuse cheats.
Of course, SE rarely bothers to do anything about either issue anyway.
I doubt it matters much now, the title is already pretty synonymous with cheaters and exploiters. When I see a King Bean/Queen Bean I just assume they used the plugins, cheated, or abused late night Dynamis queues to get it instead of as intended.
