GMs no longer do anything about holding NMs?

[Cream Soda]

So I'm sitting here at serket and some ppl claim it. x2 rdm/nin As they proceed to get their asses handed to them, they ask the blm sitting next to them to help. Once this blm gets in the pt he proceeds to bind and sleep and run away for over 15 minutes until 5-6 of their friends arrive, in which they almost still wiped. I called a Gm during this and GM pretty much told me that since it rages i they take too much time the problem will take care of itself and wouldn't do anything about them holding it.

- Addition of a new category: "About Monster Holding"
As stated in "About Monster Holding," it has been decided that GMs will no longer interfere with the holding of monsters that are listed in a certain category.
Along with the update, the section on monster holding has been removed from Inappropriate Behavior and has become an individual category.

if they killed it within the rage timer, what's the big deal? claim it next time so it doesn't happen

OLD NEWS and wtf? serket? advanced?

[Attila]

If anything you could just consider it a notice (albeit already known one) about GM behavior. the lolserketadvanced? isn't necessary.

I just use serket as my primary source of income atm (solo so don't have to split the gil). Just find it stupid that someone can bind sleep and run away for nearly 15 minutes.

[Lordwafik]

You can sleep serket? o_o

I wish I knew about that when I was holding him on my blm a while ago, I was just kiting him around the rock.

[Cream Soda]

Not sure they only tried a few times don't know if it actually landed had filters on and he wasn't moving because he was bound anyway.

[Mansin]

GMs won't do anything about holding for mobs that rage.

[Deftscythe]

Wait, GMs are supposed to do things? I thought they were just there to be cryptic and useless like Ebon Panels.

[ronin sparthos]

GMs won't do anything about anything.

Fixed for truth.

Autoregulation is nice, but then they should add rage timers to a lot of HNM's (Tiamat etc) and really shorten kings timers. Even with low numbers, it shouldn't take an hour to kill faf or nid.

[Belkin]

A LS on Bahamut held Tiamat at 100% for over an hour and a half and GM's wouldn't do anything the 3 times they came to chasm. So it's pretty safe to say they won't do anything about any NM being held. Even though they told us after 45 minutes at 100% you could call GM and they would do something. But it was literally an hour and a half at 100% (Not an exaggeration) and they did absolutely nothing because they are JP.

Even on things like Tiamat, you can hold it. One instance, a GM did nothing because "The LS was waiting for back-up, not extending ToD blah blah"

Damn Belkin beat me too it.
There was also the King Vinegarroon that was held for two hours (although they did try two failing zerg attempts), and GM did absolutely nothing. There's no point in even trying.

[Pergo]

i'm pretty sure you can't sleep serket

[Khajit]

i'm pretty sure you can't sleep serket

Then how Did JP keep it slept for almost 20+ hours before rage timers that I used to hear people get angry about.

[Medivac]

your question: do GM's not doing anything about holding anymore

my question to you: when have GM's done anything about holding

[Shiriokumo]
