    Reduce frequency of traps and mimics in Palace of the Dead

    I think the novelty of traps and mimics has worn off now. I've had three wipes today, numerous lures, land mines and mimics, and sometimes a mixture of all three. I understand the point of the dungeon is to have random danger, but it almost seems like the frequency has gone UP in terms of traps lately. Instead of having fun with Palace, it's now far more annoying than anything.

    Loved the item that turns monsters on the next level into mandragoras or mimics. The amount of monsters in the first floor of the next level was insane, plus mimics are pretty tough, then the adds came!

    At least have mimics drop some loot!

    I didn't find it fun in the first place, there's no thought or skill - just wondering if the chest you're about to open is going to explode on you.

    I'd be much happier if we had something like the transportation in Beast Tribe quests, as a puzzle, and then if we failed it would explode. Not just random wipes.

    It is what it is... Either you get some or you don't. It's what brings in the challenge.

    Is it reset Tuesday yet.

    I question whether I'm playing a PvE game with PvP mixed in, or I am I playing a PfG.

    PotD most definitely does not need a nerf. I've fought plenty of mimics and hit plenty of traps. But that's the point of the place. Just be careful. Stun a mimic's infatuation if you can and they are really easy.

    I duo it all the time with my bf. And even faced mimic rooms. We're both DPS! We can consistently beat PotD.

    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.

    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.
