Reminds me of those world group fights EQ2 has and the Warhammer MMO had. Bad for healers as you could keep everyone alive and get no medals cause you didn’t DPS enough to get on the board.

I would rather see some sort of mandatory Hall of Novices and class quest system. That you need to do it and show your competence. Granted I’ve ran into very few instances of players not caring or being so bad they bring the whole party down.
