Dark Devices - Exploitation

[Musashidon]

Hello,

Since there seems to be a lot of questions and concerns as to whether this is an exploit, I wanted to clarify that the way this FATE functions as well as others similar to it are working as intended and it is not an exploit.

question though is ending it early griefing or some bannable offense? (to the players ending it early might as well ask and find out right?)

Question is are you doing it to grief like one of the posters here? Tho I don't think it should be bannable if you are doing it to cause grief and get caught in the act i guess so.

And guess what? The developers themselves have called it an exploit... so yeah it's an exploit recognized by the development team.

Game. Set. Match.
We're done here folks. Nothing to see.

The description tells players what to do, I'm still going to kill the targets that contribute to the progress bar and hand in items on FATEs that require it. It is not griefing, it is following the FATE's instructions to progress, if everyone else wants to farm the trash mobs that's fine, but I'm going after what I need to kill to end the FATE and move on.

Again if you are going in there just to piss people off then it could be the same as that if you just want to do the fate i don't see it as griefing as people said there are people who make parties who solo thing to do is grief the others farming is what I am saying I'm not lumpping normal players in with them

I didn't mention anywhere that I wanted to piss people off, I'm just playing the FATE how it was designed to be played, regardless of if it's working as intended or not. I want my GC seals and I will do what I need to do in order to get them.

I would hope not. Finishing a FATE based on the instructions should NOT be bannable.

If you talking about me I dont end it early thats impossible I do on the other hand kill the targeted mob as in what the Fate tells me to kill and I do ignore people telling me to not to. But again I really dont know what people are shouting, yelling, or telling since I got them all cut off anyway. I never roll in a fate in a party never Fate Grinded leveled my second class thru dungeons only and my first through story and side quest the only reason you would never see me doing a Fate party is if my FC asks me and I would be rolling on my level 50 for it.

Also, me killing the targeted mob is also working as intended lol.

if they come and say, yes... they will have a riot, because it means every people doing the objective to any fate can be banned. a couple of exemple:

- boss with add fate, people can argue, you must kill the add first before finish the FATE?
- the turn in item fate, same trouble people turning them item instead to farm monster.

but still something bother me with Camate answer, without offense, how the fact that some people can get more of 200.000 exp in 10 minutes is working as intended? i doubt any fate was make for give this much of exp! we are not talking of a lot of exp, but an humongous exp! we are talking of more of 10-15 times the reward of the fate earned in 12-13 minutes.... i'm the only one to notice a trouble here?
