    It should stop soon once they add guaranteed +1 upgrades for clearing floor 50.
    That won't be enough. If people get no upgrades from 41-49 they're still going to wipe the run/afk/ask for kick/whatever anyway because if they retry they might get upgrades PLUS the guaranteed upgrade at 50. They won't settle for just that guaranteed one, given how many you need in total.

    They will need to try a little harder than that.

    Another thing they could try doing is make the exits allow you another option to leave the dungeon but without saving your progress and therefore forfeiting your exp/tomes/potsherd rewards as if you had just quit the instance (which is something you can already do by just not clicking the exit, but most people don't seem to know that). At least this way, the people who do not wish to complete their run might actually be inclined to finish it for the sake of the people that do want to complete it, knowing that they don't have to reset back to floor 1. It won't actually fix the insane RNG factor involved with upgrades but at least it will hopefully get some people to stop resorting to underhanded methods to not complete the run.

    Agreed
    Where there's a chance to get more, players will fight against the rng to get it.

    Luckily, they do - they intend to also increase the chances for upgrades on the lower floors. So they do work double:
    1) Make going through 1-40 less appalling
    2) Make clearing more enticing

    How successful that is going to be however will depend on how much the chances increase.

    It will also depend on when the changes are implemented. If they wait too long, people will lose interest.
