Fate trolls?

[VitaminMT]

I've had mixed feelings about this since I first saw it happen. On the one hand, yeah it sucks that they end those kinds of exp farming FATEs early.

At the same time though, they are playing the game the way it was intended, and if you seriously think that the devs should change these FATEs to accommodate your unintended needs you're freaking bonkers.

either way you are just hurting each other. not in a party so you just kill the lambs? faster exp for you but slower for the parties that are actually tagging and getting exp.
getting exp and tagging but not ending the fate? people who aren't getting the tags or kill counts are getting no exp while you get exp.

so in the end both sides are hurting each other and playing the game as (intended) so it's all about how you feel, if you feel you should end it early fine just don't preach on you're right and everyone is wrong. and if you feel you should let it play out and getting the mob exp fine just don't preach it.

do each other a favor and blist each other and stop whining about each others sides they both hurt each other and they're both thinking of themselves.

Yeah, my combat classes (that I play) are all 50 so the exp is a non-issue for me as I get none. But the fates aren't without benefit to me, as many have mentioned company seals. Whether I spend 30 minutes murdering the fate mobs or turning in all the things I gathered at the start, the reward doesn't change. And yeah, I'm usually not in a party for these things. I don't get why people think Fates is the only way to level. You've got leves and dungeons you could run, you could turn in the dungeon loot for seals or sell it on the market board... it's a big game, make the most of it!

So at this point the only way I can explain people turning in items right at the start in fates is that they are trolls. Would be great if these fates had a minimum completion time of 5 minutes or longer just so this would stop.

so if there are 30 people at a fate, 20 are level 50 needing seals, 10 are level 48-49 needing xp, the 10 refuse to turn in items so that it lasts longer thus making the other 20 wait longer. Who is the troll now?

[Furyan]

Clearly the person trolling here is you OP.

[Breladine]

Wait, turning in items early is considered trolling? I've been doing it because I thought the whole point was to turn in the damn items.

I don't run with FATE groups or anything like that, I just get to the leve, get some of the items in question, turn them in, then go get some more. I never once thought about how 'fast' the leve ended, nor did I think I had to stand around waiting for other people to get with the program.

I do think that it might be wise for SE to implement a minimum run-time on the turn-in leves, but again that's on SE, not on the players. It's not on the player-base themselves to try to elongate the run-time for everyone just because it isn't designed that way. Right now those leves are working-as-intended and if "as-intended" can be ridiculously short, that's something you need to take up with Square, not start pointing fingers wildly at each other.

do you realize that NOT EVERYONE know the exp trick?
that's the intended system, you get the items, you hand them over, that's it
the fates didn't tell us to "get them as much as you can so you can yield more exp"
if you want people to do that, just explain it to them
