Instanced Raids Unveiled!

[Rentahamster]

First, this question has 2 parts. The first is why would a rank 50 MRD need rank 25 GLD gear?

The player wants to rank up GLA and needs new gear. He can either enter the dungeon as a rank 25 GLA and play the dungeon as intended,

OR

enter the dungeon as a way higher rank class ( in this case, his main is MRD) and turning the game into easy mode.

Forcing the player to do it as a rank 25 GLA gives the player a greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.


You can see exactly how this played out after the introduction of the rank 30 NMs. No one fought them at rank 30, everyone just zerged them at rank 50, and within two weeks, everyone had the NM gear and no one cares about them anymore.

The second part is, it depends on what kind of player you are talking about. In my case, if I just wanted some cool looking gear for the sake of just having it, I would run it as a 50. If I was looking for a challenge and I was bored of the rank 50 dungeon, I would run it as a 25.

No one is going to intentionally run it as a lower class because the rewards are too good.

what is the point in penalizing Player A that would have just as much fun running through a dungeon designed for a level 25 on his rank 50?

Because the rewards for completing the dungeon are too good, and deliberate restrictions are needed to maintain game balance.
