I don't want your help... right now.Follow

I don't really like people attacking my monsters. Why? it doesn't do anything for you and it only makes me lose my training tools. I understand if its a mistake but there are people who are intentionally attacking your mob, just because they can.

This isn't to say that I don't want you to give me a cure, however, ill ask, or you can be a kind person with cure and just do it, but if I want you to help me kill off the monster that is getting ready to kill me, OR NOT kill me, I will /help

O wait, I can't /help. Its kind of annoying and I don't understand why its an addition to the game. Anyone know?

Edit: I think I need to clarify my point.
*I didn't say starting areas. I didn't say level 20-30 areas either, so I see why you might think I was talking about starting areas, where this is common. I was actually talking about areas that are not crowded. Areas that you have to go out of your way to come attack my monster. That, is annoying. Having someone come kill your monster where they are level 1-10, ok, I don't care. Having someone, follow you, or just jump off a chocobo to kill your monster, when you have no idea who they are, that's uncalled for.

They probably do it because more than 1 person can get credit for mob kills if they do sufficient damage. When there are eleventy seven people in a small area trying to kill 5 of x, then it's kinda to be expected.

There is a limited number of mobs and 30 other people around you trying to complete their quest as well. You can share kills and it makes it more bearable a wait.

I don't think the OP knows now only does he get full cred (kill and eXP), but the other person does to if they did enough DMG.
Therefore, it is like grouping up but without the group. Kill stuff faster, get more exp/hour, stop QQing

basically this. And higher level players who are feeling nice while burning through quests would do well to claim or do their 33% damage and then face away from the mob, if the area is highly camped by lower level players.

I'm actually talking about mob in general, not the starting areas. Beyond that. Where people have no real reason to attack your monster. I guess I'm just running into male part players.

As for training tools, I like to fight monsters that don't die really fast to test macros, controller set ups, HUD, etc. That's what I mean training tools, practice or testing.

You do realize there are training dummies for that right?

If you have a reason for killing a mob, doesn't it stand to reason that other players also have reasons for killing the same mob?

WFO is on a roll

The reason they're doing this is so that the mobs die faster and hence respawn faster so that they, too, can claim them. It makes perfect sense to want contested mobs to die and respawn as quickly as possible so that folks can finish their quests/logs/etc.

If I'm running along looking for a quest mob or a mob for my hunting log, I'm going to attack it whether someone else is also killing it or not. I'll do my damnest to get enough damage on it to get credit and move on to the next. If you attacked it first you not only also get the xp and credit, like me, but you also get any loot it had.
What is there to complain about in this situation?

They made the game like this on purpose. Think about it.

Ok it might come at a shock but most people do not want to help you. They just want your mob. When doing quests and there are like 5 quest mobs and 2 or 3 of us yea I attack other peoples mobs or they attack mine cause we both take credit for them.

At first it did annoy me that they would keep attacking my mobs but later I just thought...who cares I do kill them faster and we both take credit for them.

I love it. Don't attack his mob so you get shared claim for quest credit, but heal him all you want!

I'll just let you take a dirt nap. My cures shan't be used on asshats. Enjoy the walk back.
