FB Mold Drop Rule?

Wow, how selfish a person are you that you're not even willing to help someone with an fb, even though you get xp and rep out of it. It costs hardly anything for you and I can't imagine an fb is very difficult to run for a person of your level, and yet you expect to get some kind of reward out of it? What happened to the days when people helped each other because they wanted to. The tabber is giving you xp and rep by inviting you on their quest. You can run the dungeon on your own and get the molds if you want, but if you're with a tabber it only makes sense that they should get any molds and/or 3* drops. It is their tab after all.

I stopped doing FB's by the time the first few posts about this started appearing. FBs were a waste of time to me that did not give xp worth any amount, and the rep wasn't enough to matter. Didn't even do my own FBs because there wasn't any rush. I don't have the lil kid impatience that meant something had to be done right away or everyone was meanies.

The other big reason I stopped doing FBs for other people, was how terrible everyone became at actually doing them. Server first started out, we were doing the FBs with all people usually within 2 lvls of the FB. So everyone had to get good, or expect to not be invited back on the next one. So everyone became good or better at playing their class.

Later on, since no one needed to learn their roles, they no longer learned what they should have earlier. Couple that with the urge to rush through from other runners, and there were more deaths than when I ran through it either by myself or with other similar levels. I stopped having to worry about dieing, once I stopped healing aggro happy barbs that would single attack one target yet pull aggro from 3+ at a time. People want healing, they better wait or grab aggro from all attacking mobs.

The one time it became fun again, was playing with good players from Seppuku who made FBs actually fun again. Would still rather earn xp than do FB, but playing through with them on an FB or actually doing TT runs was enjoyable.

I don't do FBs at all for the most part now, both from no incentive and actual disincentive from having to put up with bad playing when it is random group. Static group is the only way I really feel like doing them, and setting one up for doing FBs seems really pointless. Still help on culti 49s and some of the elite bosses when I get asked when flying over on WQ. But I have more fun playing my BM alt than I ever would wasting time doing FBs. Maybe some day I'll use my wines and 79 tabs and actually finish that off. Some day.

Here's a great idea.
No more high levels help with FBs. Let the 29 people do their own fb29, the 51 people do their own FB51. See how you like it then.

I will like it just fine. Don't help if you don't want to - we won't miss you.

Another thing... When the tabber didnt get the drop, they do dramas like WTFeezy!!

The XP you get from FB's is not very worthwhile and I don't know anyone interested in using fb's to grind rep to rank 8.

When I did my FB's and a mold drop that someone else got you know what I said? "Congrats". They were contributing as much to the group as I was.

I pretty much lost interest in doing random people's fbs. Now I just do it if a guildie needs my help or for friends.

I didn't read all of the posts, so forgive me if this was already said.

I have never thought of it as a money maker for lower FBs (19-51). I knew of the drops that were capable of dropping from the very beginning, but never thought twice on taking them from another persons tabbed run.

The way I see it is, it is their tabs, therefor they deserve the drops. You might ask why. The answer is simple. Lower levels have more trouble making money than higher levels, as most of you already know. There is also the possibility that said low level players just might want to use that item, where as you would just sell it for whatever little amount it is worth.

If the person can use it, that is far better than a high level taking it for profit. I hear too many people in game say "Well, they can buy it from me if they want it bad enough." That much just disgusts me.

The point of all this? Quit your crying about your profits, stop being so greedy and let the low levels have their molds and 3* items. You had your chance in your FB. Don't turn others into having the same greedy mentality that you already have. It will only lead the community in its entirety into a downward spiral.

Hate to sound cynical, but isn't it doing that already?

Thankfully, no. There is still a sizable amount of people that don't believe that they should be rewarded with molds and 3* gear for their assistance with FBs. However, if things continue as they are, it will lead to every single person falling into this thought process.

I will delete my char the day I see that happen.

If people started wanting a chance for molds on the runs, why delete the game? All it means is that it can revert back to the way it used to be; people of similar level going through fb runs together and learning to play the game. There is more greed now, from tabber as well, than there was back then. The mold didn't go to whose tab it was; it went to the person who could actually USE it. If greed is being pointed at anyone, it should be pointed at both sides.

Though for wined runs, I can see mold going towards the one who brings the wine. If the runners want a chance at mold, they should chip in for wine cost with mats or cash.

depends :- If am "Helping out" molds cud be shared or rather be given to tab
holder, But

IF am DOING there FB for them then we keep stuff.


I remember an FB forgot which one it was exactly where the cleric refused to heal me even tho i had aggro on boss and it was eating on my charms, and some how my Cleric being dead, she tho that with no mobs around and i having aggro on boss she might take aggro, so in this case i wud say hell to mold or drop rule am keeping em all.... else there are some nice and good peeps and its fun doing FB with them but some of them really bad

Hrim!!! b:laugh But you even didn't have a tab to go!

I said I'd go though with my barb, but boohoo nobody else felt our suicidal tendencies. b:sad


I don't mind helping lower levels with fbs or bosses (which I get nothing out of AT ALL), but that's because I'm a doormat if asked nicely...

I'll totally agree with holy on this one,I don't know who started this lame ideea of tabber keeping molds and now 3* too. Wtf is with that? You ppl don't realize how easy you have it now,when we had to do our fbs we were just happy with getting help for it,no way in hell would we be so c0cky as to ask for the drops too.You don't get help with your fb = you don't get your culti done,be happy and leave drops random.You can all just now rely on this rule and then lvl easy mode on rebirth since we higher lvls discovered how it's done + get tt items or molds allot cheaper.You have no ideea you much of an easy game-play you got compared to what we had.

Ofc I never agreed on giving them molds then stole them back,I do fbs and leave all drops to tabbers,even tho' I hate so much.

You have plenty of opportunity to get such things at your level, they don't.

And with this remark ,you actually think that WE, at THEIR lvl, had and easier life?

When did this "all molds go to the tab holder" come about? What greedy low lvl please hand everything to me person decided to start this? Do you all think its a privelage for the higher lvls to do your FBs? 100-180k xp and 30-40 rep? We can grind that in 20 minutes. People need to take a step back and understand that the favor is held more on the tabbers side. We insure success, speedy finish and minimal casulaties (some tabbers get to excited and get killed from time to time). And yet you tabbers want it all. *shakes my head*. The tabbers are not the only ones to blame. Higher lvls should not accept such ludicrous conditions. Back in the day, it was hard to even get people to do FBs cause they were so time consuming and risky.

-rant finished-

You're an idiot. It is most definately a privelage for higher level people. If it wasn't so great, why do you see high level people spam WC constantly saying they will run your FB's. Grredy jackass.
