A thousand characters...

People will do what they want, they have a right to. STOP

/Shouting insults at the top of your keyboard that they should be doing it your way is ridiculous and a waste of energy. STOP

Dev says it's "working as intended". STOP

Patch reduces the spawn rate of mobs. STOP

The lesson here? STOP

Dev posts are subject to change according to their collective/bosses will. STOP

Be intelligent, discuss issues with civility if you want or are against change. STOP

It works better. STOP

Even if you're a tank, this kind of enmity in a community is not something you should want. STOP

And thanks to the QQ of players crying Exploit; It is now declared to have been easier to level multiple jobs in 1.0 than it will ever be in 2.0... Dark Devices wasn't the only FATE to receive a nerf. FATE's in the entire zone of Northern Thanalan have also received nerfs. I have not checked similar zones.. but I fear the worst.

The constant QQ on Dark Devices alone has most likely caused the entire FATE system to become nerfed.

Congratulations on making it that much harder to level up additional classes.

Guess what ? I think this is far from being enough.

Good, maybe people will stop receiving death threats just for playing the game now.

While I agree the threats made were unorthodox; Those typing the threats can be perma-banned if not suspended; by the person(s) receiving if they file a report. And when the Square-Enix team deals the final blow to it, then the less people there will be to type such things.

Although it is somewhat at the fault of the player of whom ruins the experience grind. I know this first hand. I was once the one who did end the Dark Devices Fate early for many and I did receive threats but I /blacklisted and reported the accusers. Then I joined a FATE group for Dark Devices and realized what I had interrupted. While I would whisper those who would go past to kill the lambs; Most did not realize what they were doing wrong, while there in part were a large amount of grievers of which one said to me an infamous Dark Knight quote: "I just want to watch the world burn."

In conclusion it's both sides that are at fault. The Grinders of whom road rage their fingers into oblivion, and the accusers who purposely end a FATE to spite the lot.

But my statement still stands that this nerf to FATE's in general has ruined the possibility of easily leveling new classes to 50.

It's never OK to threaten people's lives no matter what they do in a video game. Saying its the fault of someone who Ends the FATE early is just as absurd as telling them to cut their throat (Ive seen this said a few times). In conclusion - If you think this is OK because it ruined how much easier it was to get a second class to 50 then you are part of the problem and should have been reported along with those making the threats.

Most did not realize what they were doing wrong...

In fact, the mass do not realize what RPG means in the first place. You're part of it, your choice. I'm glad it's not mine.

The only problem was that it could be played both ways, and people bite each other's head off as if their life's work was just destroyed. But seeing how both parties have the right to end it or farm it, neither can complain. But they do anyways. I find the nerf necessary just for the sake of holding the community together that was over-reacting and bursting at the seams. I honestly won't be surprised if they buff dungeon or levemete experience to compensate for those leveling all classes on a single character with limited choices.

Whether it's considered an exploit or not, I couldn't care less. But the hatred it bred was ridiculous.

No, both sides are not at fault. It's the fault of the Fate grinders because they were taking advantage of the Fate in an unexpected way. You do realize that doing the Fate in that manner was against the objectives of the Fate right? Apparently not. People who ended the fate "early" were simply playing the game the right way.

Before you try to write a comeback, remember that the devs nerfed it, therefore they agreed with us that it was out of line.
