Game Has Gone to the Dogs

Hmm, I run in the duty finder every day, even Crystal Tower. I have yet to have a failed run that didn't clear what we qued for not counting Titan HM (which is to be expected).

Perhaps you are referring to a specific encounter that is failing every time, if so it's probably titan HM... I que for the high roulette every day for the bonus gil and tomes and we always clear.

As for experienced runs, maybe you are referring to BCB which is also to be expected. Most people in static BCB groups with 1-4 or 1-5 on farm have been running it from months. It's only natural for them to replace someone with someone equally as experienced. No one likes carrying someone, and no one likes stepping backwards to take someone new. That is why new players should form groups and learn BCB like the rest of us did.

Really, you can blame the myth system for people getting left out of content and that's simple really. You don't need to run BCB to have il90 gear, but you do need to have been level 50 for months to have all that level 50 gear. So if you hit level 50 today no one will want to take you to BCB because you have no IL90 gear and you need BCB to get it, or time. E.g. in about 2 months of myth farming and some il90 myth gear, people will take you to BCB. This is what a lot of new players are suffering from. They get full darklight and it's not good enough for people because of the myth system.

If il90 gear was only from BCB it wouldn't be as big as a problem.

Really this problem is just like Eve Online was back around it's launch. You leveled up over time, so if you were a new player 6 months later people had 6 months of leveling over you. Same problem here. People can get the gear, but they are capped every week so they are basically sitting in shouts trying desperately to find a BCB group and can't get better gear because they started late.

This is why the Myth cap should be based on how long the game has been out.

E.g. it launched Aug 27th. So starting say September 9th or w/e they should take 300 myth * X weeks. So

300 * 16 weeks
+ 450 * 3
= 6,150

E.g. If you hit level 50 today you are missing 6,150 myth that everyone at launch that hit 50 the first week have received. So people at launch have 2+ classes with il80+ gear score just form myth tomes without touching BCB.

SE should make a way for new players to get that lost 6,150 myth back. Or remove the cap entirely, or change the way it's acquired entirely.

Really, what SE has done, is they have made a game where you are punished severely if you take a break from playing. I know a ton of people who lost out on 900 myth over christmas because they were away and not able to play. It's not really fair tbh. They need to make a way for people to makeup the myth they missed out on.

The cap should rollover into the thousands or 10's of thousands. If you dont get 450 myth this week and get 0, your cap should be 900 the following week, then 1350, etc. So new players hitting 50 today should have a cap of 6000 something.
