Please implement something to teach players how to play

Hey all! Sorry I dropped out of the conversation!

Overall, I think I'm just done with this idea.

It seems like this is a community culture thing and what I'm asking is akin to asking for a revolution.

I'm just wanting something in game to nudge people to improve. It seems like this is an impossibility, at least for now. Every time there is a good idea (subjective), there will be the side that's concerned about peoples feelings getting hurt.

Don't get me wrong, that's a valid concern, but it just leads to no progress. I don't know. Seems to be an extremely nuanced thing with multiple variables that I cant possibly account for.

Nothing wrong with asking! And nothing wrong with a suggestion here.

Personally, I think the easiest way to encourage better play is to offer a carrot.

So, imagine “time trial” version of dungeons, where objective is to clear certain dungeons, at sync’d iLVL in a really close amount of time. Typically a dungeon allows for an hour, so how about a 20 min timer? Or 30, but with diminishing rewards?

Then make it so it can’t be done via duty finder (gotta pre-make your party), and then choose from like 5 or so in a weekly rotation. (Can clear each once?)

Obviously they’d have to tweak the allowable time, but certainly 30 minutes would be enough. Basically it should be tight enough that you would need to pull off rotations excellently to clear.

Reward? Currency for mounts, minis etc. I dunno, maybe have rotating rewards or even the currency is only good the week you earn it. (Like Khloe’ book)


Hell, plan B just make it “Khloe’s Book of Scary Stories” and work it like her weekly thing except either reduced iLVL or really tight amount of time. Again, non DF.
