Petition: for Imperial Invasion event

[Kagoma]

Our LS has not had any problems doing this event with a single party. Our way of killing the group when we have a full pt and 6-7 man it but we have done the event only 2 days and have seen over 2 doz hats. The drop rate is relay nice compared to most Hamlet gear and H-1 in CN chest having the whm body in it.

I don't see why this would need to be changed.

Some of us aren't as lucky as you to have a LS that will "raid" this up. Also this is a event, not a permanent feature like hamlet or any chest. This event will be over in some weeks and most people haven't been lucky to get their hats in the parties they have been...Lucky you!

Lol sorry but our ls does not consider this to be an event its just something we do to pass the time between our events. This can be done with Pug Groups without a problem. And you don't even need a full group if your chaining the mobs.

Not. For. Everyone.

Of course the drop rate is poor. It's an MMORPG by SE. Working as intended.

If you don't like the drop rate why don't you go play FFXIII or something? A single player offline game might suit you all more. All of you. Or maybe go play World of Warcraft or something.

It "should" take time, so invest some time if you really want that hat.

There "should" be some work involved, but I do not believe it is overtly taxing considering the 4 hour time frame.

It's easy with 5 people though (in AF). Find the edge of leash point, PLD leash, 3 BLM nuke, 1 WHM behind them curing.

Please for the love of all that is holy do not make this any easier than it already is.

You are all missing the point that this is an "event" right? it is not something people can just invest time in because it will be gone, and I have done the leashing trick, killed it around 5 times now and no drops at all for anyone in the party, so yes we have no luck and time is running short, people get frustrated from trying if there is no drops at all, so they stop doing it, so less parties doing it, see the vicious cycle here?

No I don't.

The vicious circle you describe works both ways. If you make drops easier or a token system where people can collect so many and trade for a hat the same thing applies. People will get drops sooner, less people will do the event. Others will still not get a drop from lack of people doing the event.

I have also spent a LOT of time over the weeks on this event and only just got one of the hats the other day. Your time will come.

It takes 5 people (can also be done with 4 just takes longer)

It's better if noone else is doing it. It means you have mobs all to yourself.

I recognise and acknowledge that people are getting frustrated. This however is not a new thing, drops have been this way since XI started. It's a Final Fantasy staple.

EDIT: also it is spawning every 4-6 hrs this past week, how is this too hard once people quit farming it?

THIS

Have a gatherer farm in Iron Lake or Dragonhead, and you will always have someone with their eyes and ears on spawn times.

I pull on mnk with stoneskin up and fists of wind and never die during a pull. Shoulder tackle can stun just before the rubberband point long enough for a full pt to burn one target down easily. 15 hats in 4 days. The biggest problem is people whining about not having a hat and then they go silent in LS when you find out spawn time.

edit: how is this too hard now if it spawns every 4-6 hrs these days? Have not had any competition all week.

I find this post to be pretty ignorant. Just saying.

That's leashing mobs and deaggroing them. It's against the terms of service. Soooo no that is not valid.

We all pay for the same game, it shouldn't be rewarded to people who can invest more time in a game or to people that are extremely lucky.

True. When new items are released they should be mailed to all players since we all pay the same subscription fees. Or place them in our mog houses or on a special retainer so we can pick them up whenever we need to.
