ffxi haves a really weird weird director (tanaka), actually the only game that have not released an expan or new races/jobs for a very long time since 2008, and they want users to keep playing re-hashed content with some added bonuses, they just keep adding silly stuff with no storyline, no sense, like voidwatch and legion but just to get alternative gear, idk what they hell are they up to, makes me think of that assumption of they want to make people play ff14 when it comes to the ps3 @ december on patch 2.0, because they are not releasing real content atm and it's driving people crazy because zone monopolization and other stuff
Also, there is no such thing as stealing in FFXI. Yellow is fair game, period.
You can follow a personal rule and not claim yellow monsters but there is absolutely nothing wrong, in FFXI, to do so. Very often people respect each other and nobody touch any yellow monsters in a whole Dynamis run. Unfortunately, it doesn't always go so well because some people hoard monsters and so on.
You enter Dynamis (in this case) for two reasons:
- Get currencies/forgotten.
- Play the damn game.
People might be butthurt but there is no such thing as stealing in FFXI, period (twice, just to make sure). As soon as you enter Dynamis, you are like everyone else in the area: entitled to claim/kill any yellow monster in sight.
Conclusion: man up/deal with it/get real/keep cool.
This is only Dynamis, you'll get more currency after the next JP midnight.
