Dark Devices - Exploitation

I kind of want the seals and the exp so i'll possibly end the fate as quickly as possible if I ever see it pop up. I don't generally play in fate parties and I'm not trying to be mean I just don't want to sit around while people farm and kill monsters. I just want to get my reward and move on.

2-3 fates are always going on during the entire DD chain. You can run off and do those, get your seals while not screwing over everyone who wants to level.

Then "almost the entire community" has a serious entitlement problem. I can't wait for people who have such little interest in anything other than speeding to 50 as quickly as possible to get bored and quit. The game will be much better off for their absence.

Better for you.

It's laughable to see anyone claim that if a portion of the player-base quit, the game would become objectively better.

in the time spent farming DD, dozens of other fates will have popped and been completed. there is zero reason for anyone who knows about the farming to go to DD with the excuse that they need a fate to complete so are going to end it.

the way i see it is if you have 30 people asking you to stop what you are doing and you keep doing it, you are griefing. you are continuing specifically to take away from those 30 people, and you should be reported and punished. DD farming isn't a secret, you know exactly what your doing when you go there to kill the lambs, and you are specifically trying to complete this particular fate instead of the dozen other ones available, so you can ruin other people's game play.

And you are a douche bag. The simple fact is that even the players who aren't farming it, well they will want to complete it once as quick as possible with a gold medal because it has an achievement attached to it. So in all honesty both sides need to accept the fact that the fate system is really fucked up and try to be civil to the other players they encounter who aren't doing exactly what you are doing.

this is stupid ppl arguing playstyle LOL, ppl farming have just as much right to play their way as ppl who just play to get it over with. sadly even though it doesn't make sense to end DD like that, how can anyone complain or punish another for it? yes they may have done it for whatever reason but that's how the game works everyone needs to just get over it and play how you like to play.

if you want to blacklist someone because they ruined you lvl45+ fate farming (which at that level there are other ways to level up including the other fates in the area) then you take this game to serious. on the flip side if you ruin someones fate farm experience (LAWL) then be prepared to deal with the flame!

honestly ppl, all this thread did is tell more about this which will give both point of views more reason to argue (more ppl to ruin, more ppl to farm) -_-

personally, i don't go into this area anymore because of reaction like this... same as coerthas, is my favorite area, but seeins a zerg running there and there make it horrible... sorry to say this but the zerg/intense farming of fate is ruining the game actually!!!

that said, i will say only one thing, ending or not the fate is your right.... and both side seems to be right (since camate answer). it don't give you the right to say this one or this one is griefing.

Thanks for the clarification Camate. There still exists the problem of opposing play styles on this FATE as can be seen by the last several comments.

Personally, I basically farm FATEs for seals. If I'm in the area farming FATEs for seals and there are several FATEs up including DD, I will do the others first. However, if DD is the only FATE up I will end it early. I don't want to sit around for another 3-10 minutes for another FATE to appear when I can immediately continue farming my seals.

Also, several posters attacked Calyps for wanting to do FATEs in a very similar way. I truly don't think he is wanting to be jerk and I don't either.

[Sigman]

If you want to not farm DD, then do other FATE's, there are hundreds in the game, you are intentionally being a jerk by ending it early after you've been enlightened as to why it is better and that other people are doing it that way.
You don't get to cut in line at the DMV just because no one is watching. Don't be a dick, the rule of the internet.
Let's all play by it.

this is a funny thread.

Basically you're the bad guy now if you actually play the game it was intended to be played.

No, you're the bad guy if you're making a big deal out of it. Move on with your life and try not to cause drama like complaining about something when almost the entire community is against you.
