Issue with potential 'Reward' for defeating Mobs in L50 Dungeons...

[Johnist]

Greetings,

We're planning to release a hotfix next week that we'll use to address and adjust a few elements.

One of the adjustments regards the regular monsters in level 50 dungeons and how there is currently no reason to defeat them.

We'll be announcing additional details about the hotfix details soon!

Now, I'm not sure if you were thinking like a bunch of your members were thinking (Mobs dropping 1 Tomestone of Philo each), but this would lead to horrific abuse of CM as a Mob Breeding Ground (and Griefing for people who turn off the Searchlights, like Griefing for people who kill Lambs).

CM infinitely spawns mobs until the searchlights are deactivated, at which point you can proceed w/o risk of suicidal death. If each mob is given 1 Tomestone of Philo (for each person), you could easily rack up 2,000 Philo at the entrance and leave.

There is about a 0% chance they would actually make trash mobs drop Tomestones. Not sure what they intend to do but Tomestones dropping from trash is not it.

Yes, lets all make assumptions instead of actually waiting to see what they do.

[Aegis]

They could simply not have searchlight mobs drop tomes...

I wasn't the one who had the initial idea they might have Tomestones. I'm just voicing a warning of the problem it could cause if they DO.

I would estimate that they'll drop a few gil. Back a few weeks ago, threads entitled "can't make any money at 50, repairs too costly" were all the rage.

smart thing would be taking out all tomes from cm/prae

add them to trash in wanderer's/amdapor maybe, but keep the tome farming separate from the story

[Jayded]

There should be no rewards from the story dungeons after the initial run anyway.

And then they'll be as dried up as Cape Westwind, a 45 minute wait for a TANK Queue.

This is SE we're talking about here. The "reason" to defeat them is going to end up being that they NEVER leash or that you can't enter the boss arena until all enemies are defeated. I'm kidding... kind of.
