Dark Devices - Phase 1 Exploit

[Dantes]

The devs can't anticipate every possible scenario for things...It's just how things work in online games.

Firstly, thanks for this response. I have absolutely no experience with designing software or games and therefore try to avoid presuming what should be expected of game devs when it comes to matters such as these.

What you're saying makes a ton of sense. Besides certain notorious examples of large scale bannings, I didn't experience much of the cycle you've mentioned during my years playing FFXI. Yet, if it is BAU that people beat the system/devs patch/repeat and they didn't intend for anyone to gain this much xp from fates like these (there are other fates with the same design issue), then I fully expect them to patch all of them.
Thanks again.

unfortunately, I have to say to leave it alone. What'll happen is that they'll drop the exp to something like 5 per one, or limit it to X number of spawns. Players will move to a different FATE. The same thing will happen until there are a bunch of nerfed FATEs that give little exp. People will complain that FATEs give like no xp, and force SE to raise the xp. Then people will zerg and others will whine, and its best to just let this thread die.
