SE plz nerf zodiac quest ....

[Ayuhra]

So I can't speak to the Zodiac Quest since I'm only lvl 45 but I wanted to mention my thoughts about this whole "forced to help new players" thing. I hate to say this but I like that you veterans are forced to deal with us. I get to wander into dungeons, learn encounters obtain gear then turn around and help new people I might be grouped with later. Some players are helpful just by nature, which I appreciate, but if a game does not incentivize playing with new players then veterans may start to find us a burden.

I moved here from WoW which does not incentivize helping new players. I've actually seen new players vote kicked from content just for being new. Not surprisingly this caused us to lose out on fresh blood and caused the raiding population to grow steadily anemic from fewer people playing and fewer newcomers knowing what to do or being invited to ever try.The endgame community over there, while by no means dead, is definitely a broken, hollow specter of its former self.

My point is, forcing people to sometimes play with "newbs" (and having the commendation system) is probably better for the game in the long run. Might also help player retention down the line. It may be annoying but...oh goodness, the alternative is probably worse.
