Reduce frequency of traps and mimics in Palace of the Dead

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Together with don't open chests with aggroed mobs up and problem solved.

Don't forget the most important rule: No touchy until HP bar is full.

[KitingGenbu]

The chests should honestly be locked if they contain a trap and should be solved to open, like in XI, where you had various ways to guess the answers and such. If you get it right, you get something, if you don't, it explodes or turns into a mimic. Easy enough.

[RyuSaarva]

stop playing it like other content, stop running like an idiot and pull enemies out of the rooms, stop opening chests during combat etc.

Problem solved! I've noticed things go much worse when people run ahead and try to open a chest in a room and get agro while we are already fighting things in another room..then someone opens a chest and..something explodes or we get more baddies. Of course there's always Limit breaks and other things, if you have the items, to survive which is fun. Still..the rushing is what will get us killed in the end.

[Isala]

I'm fine with traps and mimics. What I'm not so fine with is when some moron decides to open up a chest while we're busy fighting, so I have to save the idiot, and get poxxed for my troubles...

Palace of the dead is the easiest grind content in the game. It's lower than just doing dungeon roulettes, fates, diadem or what have you.

Why not just put all the weapons, mounts and pets you can get from it on the mgp vendor in gold saucer if wanna nerf. That sounds fine with me.

They really need to create a sarcasm font....

POTD is teaching terrible, horrible habits to people as they level up with barely any effort. You barely have time to learn a real rotation. You don't need to assist. You can pull multiples as long as you aren't stupid about it (certain mobs in multiples are death or close to it). Sneak around to get to chests, or popping chests mid-combat. Being situationally unaware (nothing like the bard that hits the trap that is showing because you used the pomadore). But at least I can level my alts up easily, I can always learn to play them later.

Ever since PoTD arrived we've seen thread after thread complaining about it being too easy, and now comes the topic essentially requesting a nerf because of multiple wipes - aka it's too hard.

If we are seeing feedback from both sides of that issue - too easy/too hard - the it seems likely that the difficulty is about right.

Of course it also results in mixed messages here.
