Depends on the job and the situation. Some jobs (NIN and THF for example) will often level multiple weapons for STR and AGI for situational usage.

Most scrubby players use NIN THF or DNC improperly, and since they're shitty scrubs, they do AGI/Eva katanas/daggers cause they need the evasion since no one will do anything with them.

Unless there are a thousand summoners AFKing next to a thousand chigoes, I doubt that this is going to do enough to budge Garudite prices because demand is so crazy right now. Not to mention that unless they raised the levels of the Chigoes in Grauberg (S), they aren't high enough to drop Avatarites.

Breeze geodes have taken a large dip in price recently on Quetz. They previously had been farmed pretty heavily in Kuftal, but the number of farmers dipped in recent weeks. Looks like SE's STFU is back in action with the Nyzul & shout RMT bans. The easiest fix would be just to lower the level of the Chigoes to those in Rolanberry (S), lower 50s, but that seems too efficient for them.

Dear subscribers, unfortunately players have found a reason to actually play summoner, it's useful in just one zone in all of vanadiel. Due to the problem of subscribers actually playing this job, we will soon find a way to address this issue, in the mean time, if you see anyone on summoner, feel free to report them to the STFU, as this job is not intended to be played, gear is intended for use on mannequins.

More like they found an alternate way to NOT play summoner.

[Apelila]

All I know is that SMN is going to get screwed because of this.

Next update will have anything killed by an avatar not drop items/xp/anything. It's the Final Solution.

[Yugl]

Nope, just nerf avatars until chigoes can solo them.

[Tarage]

I swear if they nerf SMN I'm done. There is no god damn reason for them to take a job that'd been kicked this much and do it again. They'll be losing a customer.

[Spira]

no reason to.. what is likely to happen is that they'll remove said drops and/or exp from the drop pool of chigoes and that'd be that.

Or maybe they'll give avatars 100% crit rate, so the chigoes will never give xp! (Although I'm fairly sure they still drop loot)

100% crit rate on avatars doesnt compute with Tanakas "Barancu" tough ¬.¬

[Kaisha]

Don't have chigoe aggro characters standing still.

Anyone detected to be running in a circle for hours on end will be banned for suspicion of 3rd-party use. Win-win for SE!

too much codeing for them, since no other mob behaves like that!

They can just borrow the code from XIV. (insert ffxi-hd remark here)

It does if they have 5% hit rate!

[Septimus]

rather than hamfistedly trying to mess with aggro mechanics and getting tangled in spaghetti code they should hand out a couple suspensions and add avatarites to a NPC for like, 10k. more than everything other than garudite but cheap enough that nobody is willing to risk their character for it.

My personal thought is that they should add geodes and avatarites to the reward pools for completing Avatar fights, in addition to the old weapons/armor/gil. Not really sure how many of either per fight would be fair, but I think that it would be a worthwhile addition. Which is why it would never happen.

What gear? You mean the generic mage gear SMN is always on with no stats that really help out?
Just remove SMN from the game and actually make it good this time.

[Damane]

now we are talking about "Barancu"!!!! 100% crit hit rate in exchange for losing 95% accuracy sounds like perfect Tanaka "Barancu"!

I seriously still fail to see what the big fuss all about this is. I didnt know from this until it was posted by SE, but I really dont even care about it. So what? people sell garudites: whatever. It was neither effecting me, nor hurting me. And EXP is seriously not such a big deal nowadays.

[6souls]

It has to be an RMT method. I did a search of Grau last night and there was an level 82 summoner out there. That's a really slow way to exp & as far as I know of, there isn't any AH prep minus gear for that low to make anything other than Carbuncle worthwhile to keep out full time.

[Khajit]

Now that i think of it weren't rmt making masses of smn accounts last month or so? I remember seeing pictures on bg.

Yes, because if they removed the auto-attack on SMN aggro thing, that is totally a smn nerf. <rolleyes>

God you people are such fucking whiners.
