      @tsjeriAu Рік тому +2

      In terms of dps, yeah you can easily do it 7man. It's the mechanics that require a full group.
      Just a quick thoughts from memory :
      Earthshakers will kill the second person (unless a tank invuln?), raven dives on nael transition kills nontanks unless they are healed though that can be worked around, fire and ice likewise, if aware of it then its OK. Quickmarch towers need tank lb if even 1 is missing, and you often want it for octet to make the stack a nonissue and I'm not sure if you get it in time. Twin dive on octet can also be fucky.
      Point is, there are a lot of mechanics that will screw you over if you don't have all 8 doing them correctly. If a carry has 0 knowledge of the fight at all, I'd nope out of there so fucking fast.
      Even if they hit half of their gcds while focusing on mechanics that's one thing, but this guy did 0.
      There are groups that do afk carries, you're not really gonna find them by putting up a pf on your own.

      @LinkThinks Рік тому +4

      No, the first time they were supposed to pay the party after the successful clear, which they avoided doing. They put up a party for endgame content saying (essentially) "Hey, if you carry me through an Ultimate clear I'll pay you folks." They got the clear, then figured they could just run away without paying for it.
      As far as I can tell (having only watched this video on the issue) there were no later clears. They attempted to make party finder groups to get clears from other ultimates, but it seems unlikely that they would have paid for those either given what they pulled the first time, and I'd imagine the world of people giving paid Ultimate clears is small enough that most people would've heard about the initial incident, although that's really just conjecture on my part.
      Also, does a name change cost real money? Yes. Yes it does.

      Gil is effectively very inexpensive in this game. It is because literally almost everything gives out gil, dailies? Gil. Adventurer in need? More gil. Fates? Gil. Sidequests? Gil. Crafting? Gil. Market board? Gil. If you do just dailies with adventurer in need you can grind out nearly a million or so from the DF gil.
      Also there aren't too many gil sinks in this game and money isn't a requirement or barrier to obtaining gear or access to raiding compared other MMOs (which is fine since not everyone can grind a MMo 40 hours a week). There is a tax system for MB buying and selling (unless for the week it is 0%) and the Aetheryte teleportation costs. The gil sinks are four mounts which total at 175 mill and perhaps housing (with the most expensive house at 50 million) and crafting for housing (even cheaper if you can craft and gather everything).

      I think Square really have little authority on the RMT sites since the most notorious ones tend to operate outside their jurisdiction (aka not mentioned out of the game and sometimes out of Japan). They also don't want to deal with the legal nightmares and cat and mouse game and prefer the "don't ask, don't tell" thing they have going on. You can offer gil to buy clears because, well, Square is going to give the benefit of the doubt than ban the wrong person or innocent party.

      There's not much they CAN do because of legal reasons, so the only thing they can do is punish RMT activity that has already taken place on a player-to-player basis. They do a decent job at this imo with how quickly RMT advertizers are temporarily account suspended. And its a good thing its a suspension because accounts that get stolen are often used for RMT, it gives the original owners the option to get their account back.

      But i don't know if i will do that for p8s before 10% echo this fight is really punishing if one guy go full yolo

      I'd say in this case, offering a bounty via Gil still falls in ToS, the scammer not paying is the problem. As for the JP players that got their stuff taken away, there was video proof they were blatantly cheating with zoom hacks, so the GMs have a far easier time to enact authority in that case.

    It made me remember an experience I had.
    When I was on E4S, I had BiS and was bored and had nothing to do, so I would join for fun clear parties to help people clear, however, as most of them had traps, I made myself an own rule:
    -If you wish me to help you clear, I'll give you 3 pulls, after all if it's a clear party, it should be enough to get a clear, as I assume EVERYONE already knows the full fight.
    -If after 3 tries we haven't cleared and we aren't even close to clearing, pay me in gil or raiding resources, and I'll stick with you until you clear, otherwise I'll leave because we weren't able to clear in 3 pulls despite it being a clear party.
    And, that rule created a funny tale: Introducing THE 9 HOUR LOCKOUT E4S RAID EXPERIENCE.
    What happened here is that we were very close to clear, and I told the members my rule, so they complied. We took a little break and they gave me food, pots and some gil, and to complete my part of the bargain, I stuck with them, helping them, explaining them what happened, how to do it better, as we wiped and wiped. It was there an upsetting pull, that it was the clear, all we needed was a melee LB. Titan was low HP, and our only melee stood more than needed in a mechanic to greed a little more DPS, and we enraged under 1%. What hurt me the most is that if that was a clear, it would have been my first ever 99 parse I had gotten in this game. We continued.
    Then some people left after around the 8 hour mark, and I called some friends to fill that wanted to help too, and at the 9th hour mark, IT HAPPENED, WE CLEARED THE FIGHT. We celebrated it like it was a world first clear.
    After the experience, the group of friends that I helped wanted to add me to their friend list, thanked me a lot and offered me to craft anything I wanted for free, just bringing them the tome materials and they would do everything else, and add some extra, and we ended up becoming friends. The reason I was able to handle 9 hours of wiping without rest besides holding my part of the deal is that they were actually very chill.
    Also, the experience helped me optimize the fight to lengths I had never done before, and I was able to do most mechanics at walking speed, keeping most uptime, even having 300ms at the time, I memorized every single timing.
    The only sad part is that after I quit, I also went for some months to another data-center to play with a IRL friend, and after so much time, I forgot the name of those guys, and I guess they forgotten about me too.
