As far as i know, people only generally use the first phase for farming.

Thanks I wasn't sure. After reading more closely through this thread, I see you have to kill lambs for the main objective. I'm also on PS3 and might have not been able to see the lambs because everything is crowded at this FATE and I only see about 30 players/NPCs at a time.

As for the topic.
I feel this is similar to the AK speed runs because people are in disagreement on how they want to complete the task. If AK speed runs were really an exploit, they would have been designed differently before launch. The real problem was AK speed runners were being rude and obnoxious to first-timers that want to run the entire dungeon and not be rushed. There was even a thread supporting the implementation of an anti-speed run mechanism that had arguments for both sides. SE implemented that mechanism and there are less arguments between speed runners and first-timers now in AK.

With DD, SE hasn't publicly told us that this is an exploit and if they thought it was one then it wouldn't have been designed this way from launch all the way up to today. The problem is there are people that want to do the FATE as fast as possible and there are others that want to grind the first phase. People are being blacklisted and reported on both sides of this. People are being rude and obnoxious to people in-game like what happened in AK.

TL;DR The serious problem here is people are harassing each other on both sides of this DD "exploit". If they fixed AK because of harassment issues, they should fix DD too.
