Dark Devices - Phase 1 Exploit

[ZohnoReecho]

…

So it's ok for you to not do the FATE as it was intended but let the majority ruin your experience?
Remember, the majority thought the world was flat.

Grow a pair and ignore anyone who tells you how to complete the FATE. And if anyone tries to shout about blisting you, call a GM and make them be suspended for harassment.

i had the same experience ZohnoReecho someone was pissed because i did finish the fate 1 time and he did start by insulting me and all, first report.
later i join a group for chimera, he was inside, he did get the lead and kick me out of the group and restart to insult me via mp.... second report.

the trouble is people think they are right... because it's annoyed them if is wrong, means they need to play normally without shortcut!
i will surely have a lot of enemy after this comment.

but i think SE need to use severly the ban hammer for make understand this people that find and exploit a shortcut is not welcomed!

What really gets me about this thread is how lame it is. It's really just a pissing match at this point.

Anyone who thinks the FATE was meant to be "played" that way is seriously making a leap in logic.

Yes, everyone is aware of how entitled people can be, and think that they really shouldn't have to earn what they have. I mean if they can't get it easy by God it's not worth having.

That aside, this is something that will be fixed because it's being used in a way that was not intended.

Let them enjoy it while they can, they did with the speed runs for AK, until they were fixed because they were being..what? Used in a manner that was not intended.

Something that gets me still is that in the original post the OP talks about all the hate coming towards people who just want to do the FATE. Getting Black Listed for using a game mechanic the way it was intended to be used is just wrong.

Yes grumble and moan because someone stopped your chance at milking an exploit in a FATE, but don't black list them just because they want to complete the Fate in the way it was made to be completed.

If you look up the definition of the word exploit you will see this is very definition of what an exploit is.

So really what we have here is a vicious cycle. People wanting to complete the FATE get stupid amounts of hate thrown at them, and the people who want to exploit it are pissing off the people who just want to do the FATE correctly.

If anything I'd want to see this FATE fixed so you can no longer farm the exp, not to screw over the lazy people who want easy exp, but to end the angst coming from both sides.

None of this really has any effect on me as I'm already 50, but what does is just how much hate and anger this one FATE has generated.

You guys should really be better than this.

May i suggest a GM investigating this exploit (and any other exploit) to send into ingame jail/suspend the account of the exploiters?

(A good start is who is defending this exploit on this thread)

lol there are actually players out there harassing other players who kill the main targets as intended?

now that's f*cked up.

[SinisterJoint]

Never done the fate, don't care really. Couple things I read in this thread though are hilarious. Especially the people saying its not an exploit, because it is.

You are abusing an unintended XP method, thus exploiting.

Also, to the dumbass whos claiming that fate is the only way to level a second job... your an idiot.

Yup, me and a friend went to northan thanalan yesturday for some quick tokens, that event just happened to be the second event on, we stood there tagging mobs for about a minute or 2 and when we thought we tagged enough to get the full reward we moved onto the actual mobs needed to die, let's just say the bitching and reactions people gave was hilarious calling us trolls and that we didn't get "any attention from their parents" and such, if people need to bitch about exploiting an unintended way to gain exp from a fate and think they have a right then they're doing it wrong, I had 0 problems with exp and it was more than fast enough to hit 50 whilst playing casually and just going to fates when ever I saw them instead of farming them like mad for exp.

I hope you reported every person who harassed you in shout. The more attention this gets the faster it will get fixed.

If SE listened to the topic creator then that FATE will just turn into another 30sec FATE just like all the other normal non-boss FATES. But the way it sounds like he wants it, it will be a minute of killing trash just like AK.

[Badger]

Any FATE (done as intended, i.e., objectives) is a thirty second FATE with enough people zerging it and has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I want XP exploits dealt with and the harassment that people with integrity face trying to do the FATE as intended put to rest.
