The toxic Pagos bottleneck and how to solve it

[Bourne_Endeavor]

It's almost as if fate-training your way to 35 wasn't the intended method to get light. What a pity that nobody ever told fate train whiners that this would happen...oh wait.

But to answer your question Yoshi said this about Pagos at Gamescon.

"So, with the last patch, we didn't really increase the NM spawn rate to as much as it was before [in Anemos], but we increased the amount of EXP they give. It's not as effective as it was in Anemos, but you can still wait for NM spawns if you want to. But for the weapon upgrades, your predecessors spent a lot of time and effort farming mobs to grow stronger, so we won't ease up on that. Please learn how to do that."

So I wouldn't hold your breath for any nerfs just yet.

Only when they learn to develop good content.

In a zone with upwards of 144 people, there shouldn't be only a very small corner of mobs that are efficient for grinding light. This basically forces groups to either fight over it, in which case, no one benefits, one group to suffer insignificant gains or server hop hoping to get that elusive spot. It's a poor design no matter how you slice it.
