I recently started hunting my treasure coffers for BST AFs in zones such as Crawlers Nest and Castle Zvhal Baileys. Hunting for these chest is very difficult as it is, but now teams of RMT swarm these areas as a means of generating gil. Will anything be done to address this?
They're always in groups auto-following each other, usually consist of a mithra THF and tarutaru BLM and some miscellaneous third member playing a DD class. They only break from auto-follow to fight monsters that drop chest/coffer keys.
It has become very difficult to pursue these coffers in certain areas, and even complete the Borghetz AF "hands" quests as a result. I had never had problems obtaining key items and AF from coffers in the past, but the instances where RMT have been farming Treasure Coffers seems to have risen in lieu of other RMT countermeasures.
I would like to make three suggestions (1) Change the gil reward from these particular coffers to a rare/ex item, (2) diminish the gil reward as you spend more time farming coffers or (3) fashion a pair of new AF quests for each job - aside from the Borghetz quest - to replace these coffer hunts. Perhaps some side-stories to the main AF story where you can complete a quest objective instead of having to chase down Treasure coffers. Maybe an NM fight or the search for a particular item, or even possibly what was done with the ToA AFs - make these particular AFs an item crafted by a NPC.
I realize this would be a rather cumbersome change, but I think it would reduce the problem of having to compete with RMT for coffers containing AF for our jobs, in addition to making the AF quests feel more meaningful.
