Yo-Kai Event: BLU Major Griefing Problem

[Sorrowen]

Like stated in the title there is a problem with the Yo-Kai event where there is a problem with BLU griefing a major portion of the FATEs.

Unlike the rest of the classes, BLU is not effected by the level sync mechanic and have access to their entire spell list. Most of the ARR and SB areas can be one shot by a simple combo by BLU. This is causing FATEs that people can't even get contribution because the FATE is over in a matter of seconds. Tagging enemies is extremely hard as well, so camping the spawns for the enemies also doesn't work.

Now I have personally run into several respectful BLU who are simply pulling the enemies into a tight circle for everyone to fight, but it is way more common to run into groups of 6+ BLU who are just nuking FATEs where no one gets contribution unless you are in their party.

I understand this event is meant to get people out there doing more FATEs and they should be going fast, but not THAT fast. BLU is making these FATEs almost near impossible to participate in. I've also witnessed some insensitive conversations when people have politely asked if the BLU would stop 1 shotting boss/mobs. Some suggestions are just straight up ignorant of the issue at hand.
- A user should NOT have to world/DC travel just to be able to farm out FATEs. Travel also did not exist for the past Yo-Kai events.
- Telling people to just play BLU as well is... Infuriating.
- Telling people to just team up with a BLU is also not a solution.
- Telling people to just wait until the BLU get bored is ALSO not a solution.
Also running into a lot of insults and name calling from both sides has plagued /shout in many areas I've run into. Really not proving we're as cozy a community as we like to parade around.

BLU did not exist at the past Yo-Kai events and I believe this was a massive oversight in this release. The only reasonable and simple solution I can see is restricting that BLU cannot equip the watch.

Just level blue.

Yeah, it's not griefing for people to use a job that's most convenient for the event.

- Telling people to just team up with a BLU is also not a solution.

This is absolutely a valid solution.

Honestly just wait a week or two. It was like this during the last yokai and with more players i am imagining its going to be chaotic for the first couple of weeks and then it will be dead like all events.

Yes it did. Not at the first run, but at the rerun in Shadowbringers. I know because I did it as BLU.

Been a while, but can't you spam heal/aoe taunt to build enmity and get contribution for that?

Yes, but getting Silver/Gold with how BLU clears the FATEs is hard. Unless they are in your party and putting towards your contribution, that's not a functional way to participate.

Building enmity would only work for boss FATEs that are alive long enough, the problem OP is having is that BLU can basically instakill mobs in regular FATEs.

However, if you claim a FATE mob (its name turns red if you claimed it and purple if someone else did) you get full credit for the kill no matter what. It usually only takes a few claimed mobs to get gold. Any job with an instant attack or AoE would be preferable, just try to claim stuff and pull it into the BLU death zone.

Healing actually generates very little enmity because (1) healing enmity naturally has a 0.5x multiplier and (2) the enmity from the heal is divided amongst all enemies.
