Dark Devices - Exploitation

[Ravij]

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.

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.

And I don't think you even realize what it means. It means Role-Playing Game. So if say, this FATE was done with a bunch of In-Character Role Players; Simply barreling through to the end is not what we do. If we are opposed by several crowds of mobs that seem almost endless, then we would push "in-character" as a unison until we get to the end. Think the 300 Scenario of the Spartans protecting themselves in a dome with their shields fits this case nicely. The push would be slow; but we'd eventually get there.

When In-character life or death is played as a real deal. It's like watching a Movie; the characters die if they screw up or go barreling head long into battle.

What's your role exactly ? Dancing on the floor while I take care of killing bad guys ? Granted.

While I fancy a little jig at times; No. I hurt things, that's my role.
