That is precisely the issue the entire ruckus on that topic is all about. If you haven't noticed from Diadem at the latest, there's a distinct connection between the amount of people running a piece of content and the time it takes to get into that content.

"Speedrunners" don't give a rats butt, this isn't a punishment for them. They'll just queue for something else for their rewards. There's no reason for them to be concerned about themselves - The only one to be concerned about are newbies who'll have to deal with the consequences of "Don't like it, don't run it.", i.e. queue times, mentors leaving at the start etc.

You'd think SE would get it by now that they need to make them into solo-able instances with NPCs. Forcing the cutscenes isn't going to help the new people, it's going to punish them because they're not going to get anybody to queue up for it simply because people's time is being wasted for a useless reward. IMO, for doing the MSQ roulette with no skipable cutscenes, the reward should be around 100 Mendacity since poetics are pretty useless at endgame.

Just a guess, but I feel like they meant "Blamed for it changing" because people treated it as a means to speedrun the rewards, not to help people trying to get through it. Now SE changed it to become "Helping people get through it" and people are raging.

My guess, anyways. I'll probably still run it, because when I did before, I always made sure that if there was someone new I would be there to lead them around. This won't be much different.

I think the biggest concern for me is, I knew 5 seconds after reading what they intended to do with the cut-scenes precisely what the outcome of doing it would be. How out of touch with the game actual must developers be in order to think that this was a good idea?

Hey, thats what rewards are for. If SE would not put any reward in to the dungeon many ppl would not run that dungeon, that was the trade off from SE to help the ques for newbs. As you can see they even added 80+ poes to rewards. If we are supposed to help newbs than why they gives us rewards? Why do they put a reward in a system where ppl should help newcomers aka Mentor system? Theres reason why is so many bad mentors bc they all care for the reward not to help the newbs. You can only blame SE for this.

Maaaagic~

Literally, though, for the effort and rarity of them, making them useless as mounts (not able to fly) just stops players from working towards them.

The ARR ponies also unlock the Kirin mount, which can fly. Also, the armored Tank mounts can fly. And a giant turtle. So can a few chairs. A horse is nothing that out there.

Ahhh I always love these threads. People complaining about stuff before they even got to try said stuff. #popcorn

That said, I'm excited for the following:

- Stacks going upto 999 instead of 99
- Being able to turn off battle music in fields, when random mobs target you
- The new housing plots (Hopefully relocating to a medium)
- Teleporting to any of your friend's houses
- The new estate NPC's (wonder what they sell/do) and the increase of NPC's able to use in an estate along with this.
- The new hairstyles
- Glamour system. I'm so ready to clear up some inventory space

Can't think of anything else atm, and I will have to try out all other features before deciding if I like it or not :3

Hi. I have a question. When I have an Alt in another FC (not the leader, just a ordinary member), can I still buy a FC House as a FC leader for my FC?
