It reeks of incompetence for them to be taking the same approach to this problem for years when it's proven to be ineffective.
I've only been playing for a few weeks, so I can't judge of the effectiveness over time...

Anyway, I'm currently stuck on my relic quest -- sure, it's optionnal, even irrelevant nowadays, but I'm doing it for the glamour -- since it requres Amdapor Keep and some bots are farming it 24/7.

I withdrew after 5 hours since it was pointless... We got a party a couple of times, but the duty finder stuck on "Reserving server" and someone ended up leaving (can't blame them...)
