Dark Devices - Phase 1 Exploit

[Ceol]

"It's not an exploit! We're just utilizing an oversight by the developers that doesn't involve hacking but breaks the spirit of the activity. It's totally different than Amdapor Speed runs!"

You're damn crazy if you think getting an extra 100k exp from a FATE that gives ~10k isn't an exploit. This is coming from someone who has been in a few DD parties.

Im the sort of person who hates when people actually do exploit something and come up with excuses to say its okay, but I really dont think this is one of those times. The mobs people kill are part of the fate, there is no rule breaking, no cheating, by farming those ones in particular. It's 15 minutes out of 1-2 hours, it's not as if it stops people from completing content because they need it for a quest and other people monopolize, its a fate. It's not as if people can abuse this only to powerlevel, you're likely to get the same or more exp if you continue running to other fates and doing other stuff. It's not as though people are glitching out the mobs by standing on rocks or something to make it easier and claiming 'if it wasnt meant to be done that way they wouldnt have put it in.' It's not as though they're abusing some mechanic to bypass other mechanics of the fate to get an easy award without the effort as in the case of AK. It's a fate, it spawns mobs that award exp and don't contribute to fate completion, and players choose to spend the time killing those mobs until the last few minutes to squeeze out as much exp as the fate will allow.

That's actually what an exploit is. It's using an oversight to gain an advantage you wouldn't normally have and that wasn't intended. It's pretty obvious that you are not supposed to gain an extra 100k exp from that FATE or else FATEs giving 100k exp would be littering the game. It's just that "do 30% damage and get exp", "every job gets an AoE by 45", and "FATE that spawns infinite mobs in close quarters" all came together right there.
