Change Alexandrite's "Morbid Motivation" for DR High please

[BobbinT]

With the recent addition of 2.5 dungeons, I can't help to think that the quest needed for Novus alexandrite are a bit too much for requiring expert roulettes.

And since the Novus upgrades are past 2 major patches, wouldn't it be wise to allocate the quest to high level roulette instead? Think the work we have to do for current dungeons are too much for upgrade that's 2 patches lower. Plus, this should give high level roulette more purpose other than just the daily bonuses.

Farming alexandrites on other optional methods becoming not much easier. Even the so-called added chances of drops from FATEs still highly unreliable. And soldiery are not helping since we need it alot for other upgrades like Zodiacs. Allied seals from hunts even got worse since ppl start farming like crazy for ironwork upgrades, got friends that complains how he/she can't get alex quicker anymore since rank A zerged so fast.

Please move this quest requirement to high-level roulette.

10% drop rate from FATE now according to reports.
Increased soldiery from most/all instanced content.
Increased Allied Seals from hunt, including Daily/Weekly.

The increased difficulty of the daily quest is more than compensated for by the other improvements even if you discount hunts as one way of obtaining the alexandrites.

Yes, alexandrite comes easier from other sources now. No, that does not change the fact that this particular quest is not balanced well anymore for the reward that it offers.

There's been other similar complaints along these lines (for instance, several folks brought up how comparatively difficult it became for fresh level 50 players to obtain "myth" i90 gear in 2.4 and work your way up to the point where you were actually even allowed to enter the dungeons that dropped this gear, than it was prior to the removal of myth tomes) and they have heard them and recognized them, so I think this issue was still worth bringing up.

My guess is that a loooooooot of things are going to get retooled around when Heavensward hits, and I think if the level cap increase to 60 doesn't make all of this a moot point, they will probably make their adjustments then to enable the newer players an easier way to work their way up.

The expert dungeons are item level 90. The alexandrite allows you to upgrade an Animus relic (i100) into a Novus (i110).

The rewards are still within worthwhile and appropriate. This would change if the expert roulette was to continue and include i110+ dungeons.

to me the answer is pretty obvious, at least in regard to roulette. If the dungeon has been lvl synced, it should be "high", if not it should be "expert". SE has drawn the obvious line themselves, and lets face it, choosing from 6 is much better than the same 3 over and over.

Even though I am up to the lights stage, to me fairness means morbid motivation should be on the lvl synced (or high) roulette. That is how many people who already have the weapons got them after all - with ilvl 90-100 gear and a 100 weapon, or better - unsynced. Now the new guys are expected to do lvl 120 dungeons with their lvl 100 weapon. Seems a bit rich to me, even though I'm not affected. The only saving grace is they now have more opportunities from fates, etc to get alex.

Are you seriously complaining that a dungeon you can't afk123 through needs to be nerfed? Really?

I don't think that's related.

Also, afk in dungeon? really? lol

Oh look, it's this guy clearly not reading the topic again.

It's honestly a wonder that he's as successful at the game as he claims.

Oh look, it's someone who can't fully think out a change, what a surprise!

Yes, changing it to High Level roulette, to force you to run dungeons that drop less rewards (both gear/material/tomestones) and are less populated than Expert Roulette is a good idea. Oh wait no, that's a terrible idea.

Less reward? Mind you that the drops like 2* crafting mats (peacock ore, coke, animal fat, etc) are still in high demand, and recently checked market that they went up again for some reason, despite the lowered GC seals needed to acquire them. And gears also in high demand loot for GC seal turn-ins, or in my case, desynthesis. It's not all about tomestones, which is not my main concern in this thread.

And you sir, either you are obviously bored and need hardcore challenge, or clueless. lol
