How come we can't play with friends?

What's the difference between doing this and doing Treasure Hunts? I did some for the first time this weekend with a party of 8 and it seemed to be just like this experience...

Because treasure hunts are easy, beyond easy and they drop nothing but skins and MAYBE potash. I've done treasure maps, some times even Chimera popped and it was just extremely watered down and we facerolled all over it. Treasure maps are just killing normal mobs with the word "treasure map" slapped on to it.

I mean have none of you guys ever hunted down world bosses? Not none of this FF watered down crap, I mean in real mmos like rift,tera, aion, RO, etc it's not even remotely the same.

Their complaint seems to be the reward, not the system.

My personal complaint is both, the reward AND the system. IMO the point of world bosses is to compete with other people and do hard content WITHOUT going into an instance. It gives you a reason to go out an explore the world. And not just world bosses but elite mobs too.

If they created a treasuremap that spawned an boss that required a Full Party to defeat and was sufficiently difficult, dropping equal rewards to the current raid tier, would you be fine with that, or do you just absolutely have to have the feeling of camping one boss for 10 hours with a group while twiddling your thumbs and smacking random mobs to pass time?

Why does it have to be treasure maps? How come it can't just be a roaming mob? If they added that to treasure maps it would be a start, but whats with you guy's fixation with treasure maps? Not to mention having something telling you were it spawns ruins the "adventure" and "excitement" part of just accidentally stumbling upon one or trying to find it.

The fact that you had to ask the difference between a world boss and an instance boss shows that you've never done REAL open world content. World bosses are usually more difficult than instance bosses and therefore more fun. Not to mention it gives you something to do with out queing and just standing around town. What's so wrong with that? Why are people like you so against open world stuff? I dont know about you but standing around afk waiting for the que to pop just isnt fun and a lot of people don't find it fun either. Which is why there's so many open world threads/suggestions
