"Fix" Speed Runs? How about fixing the real issue?

[nullzy]

Not that it's a secret but trash mobs are great for spirit bonding and materia III farming. Unless you get a resist type materia Just pretend the materia you get is bonus for killing trash mobs.

Here is a better idea, for each dungeons, give objective list:
- kill x amount number of trash mob (insert name), get 5 tomes philosophy
- kill x amount number of trash mob (insert name), get 5 tomes philosophy
- kill x amount number of trash mob (insert name), get 10 tomes philosophy
- kill x amount number of trash mob (insert name), get 10 tomes philosophy
- kill x amount number of trash mob (insert name), get 15 tomes philosophy
- kill x amount number of trash mob (insert name), get 15 tomes philosophy
- kill x amount number of trash mob (insert name), get 20 tomes philosophy
Completion bonus if there is first time members: 20 tomes of philosophy

Add those in the high end dungeons - and see if people will skip trash mobs, since that effectively DOUBLE the amount of tome you are getting - now those trash mobs are no longer trash but actually reward you with the exact thing you want. Each completed objective also spawn a treasure chests that rewards everyone with 200 gil x objectives, plus random crafting items, materia level 3 and accessories ilevel 55. I guarantee that once you implement this, no one is stupid enough to skip these trash since they essentially more rewards than the actual boss. Plus at the end you get over 1600 gils - enough to cover your repairs.

cover the repairs from killing them.

this right here is all i care about. that chance at 1 gil from a mob just doesn't cut it

I wonder if they are aware of the 4man groups using teleport hacks to teleport to chest to chest then boss to boss. Skipping trash in its entirety. No idea if there exploiting bosses or killing them normally though. I doubt it.

They have been well aware of that site for years. Yes ppl have admitted to exploiting bosses. No FC has legitimately beaten Turn 5 coil yet. Its been all exploit or 3rd party program. There are many FCs legitimately trying to clear it for a real world first.

These ppl need to be perma banned, not rolled back, not warned, perma banned. It is that bad atm. Players are teleporting FATEs even as its plainly obvious as Im near one that spawns all the time fishing Silver sharks.

How near is the future exactly? Is it like soon(tm) or like less than a week or so from now? because some of these things need to be addressed NOW(gold spammers, certain endgame activities, qol issues that most mmos have off the bat). Especially the gold spam it is completely unacceptable to let so much of it go on for so long. You have the shout channel there for a reason and that is to allow people to ask for help or form groups, as it has been the last few weeks it is 24/7 gold spam where no one can get a word in without the spam of multiple bots in the same second.

Unless that report spam feature in 2.1 will ban these bots after so many reports we should not have to wait till a fix is implemented for this. I have seen bots that have been up a week or more and surely have hundreds of reports, why has nothing been done about these?

Near to Square-Enix can be about 10 years~

Yesterday I posting " Serious Treat!. To square Enix" related on Bot and Gils Seller but guess what !? They deleted my post! Thank you so much! I even name the bot and mention about there are 48 Blacklisted in my list compare to 8 friend list!! Seriously I tell to you all, I paying monthly subscription because I want to enjoy the game and play with some friend from around world! Not helping SE cleaning sh!t after sh!t due to Gil Seller / Botting!!Seriously I grown tired block and block! I wonder do you(SE) really do your job? YOu should LOCK the character in dungeon till investigation is complete! Remove all if suspected done so. Look at their activity log on how long they been online in server room.
You said to us , you have special Task team to handle this but what I saw is Sell Giller/Bot is start invading your house! Soon, SE will not get a nickle for granny

Greetings,

The development team is aware that the benefits for defeating regular monsters in high level dungeons are not proportionate to the effort. They are also aware that dungeon runs can also be filled with players with conflicting goals (like enjoying the story versus doing a farming/speed run) that leads to it being difficult to enjoy the content. They feel that improvements in these areas are needed and are currently working on countermeasures for this.

We will be sure to fill you in on the details in the near future.

Wow a moderator necroed my old thread!

I wonder if they are aware of the 4man groups using teleport hacks to teleport to chest to chest then boss to boss. Skipping trash in its entirety. No idea if there exploiting bosses or killing them normally though. I doubt it.

Here's a nice forum I found on Google advertising LFG to do teleport dungeons:

Removed Link - don't want to be suspended.....

Excerpt : LFG on Faerie - Looking for people on Faerie to start a speed run group for AK or others things using teleport. Send me a pm. I'm a BLM, we'll need a full group and everyone to have teleport so we can just teleport to each boss.

Same forums has multiple teleport hacks, Exp, gathering, Fishing bots.

No wonder your account was suspended

I imagine much of the gold spam will cease to exist once the free period ends and these scumbags will have to pay subscriptions and give up CC info to continue doing what they are doing.

They're way ahead of you though, you think they use their own cc info to pay for subs and the game? Nah they use the players info they hacked or the people who bought gold from them, they don't spend a dime of what they actually make all the while laugh as they milk hacked players dry before they even know what happened.

I can see why people would want trash mobs to drop some kind of useful item or maybe more than the occasional 1 whole whopping gil, but at the same time i'm fine w/ just getting gear from the bosses/tomes in Ak/CM/Praetorium and stuff. Either way as long as the game remains fun i'm not quitting!

As far as that argument about DOW/DOM not having a decent way of making $, all I really have to say is there are plenty of monsters that drop useful crafting items out in the world that you can farm while waiting for groups in duty finder or making your own. That's how i've been doing it so far. Or you could always level a craft during downtime. Just my 2 cents.
