If you don't like it, throw up a PF for "HoH aetherpool leveling" and stack the group with other people like you who want to hunt for upgrades. Most of the people solo queuing for HoH already have max aetherpool gear and just want to get in and get out, and quite frankly, if you got votekicked from HoH to begin with, you did something very wrong, because you can quite literally run a whole 21-30 round there without ever contributing in combat and still not get kicked as long as you're not interfering with everyone else's progress.

    If I had to guess, all you did was ignore the fact that the exit was open and 3 people were standing in it waiting for you to join them, and you made them wait long enough that it convinced them that they'd get done faster if they kicked you and 3-manned the rest of the run.
    I won't address each point you've made as I know I've addressed all of them in my other posts. I appreciate your added voice to the conversation though. I know we won't agree, so there is no point in trying to change your mind.

    The one point I'll state again is that the dungeon wasn't intended to be a exp farm. People found that it was an easy way to gain exp. I shouldn't have to change my playstyle when my playstyle fits the original purpose of the dungeon. That is what PF is for, when you want to do something outside of the original purpose. Exp was a side effect as SE knew people wouldn't run it if there wasn't an added bonus for people with max aether and/or didn't want the loot contained. They have to incentive other players to join to help the ones who are late to the content.

    Did they ever say any of this? Seems a little odd they wouldn't fix this problem in the 4 years since HoH has been out. Especially since HoH is basically just another PotD which is even older content which is also and still used to farm levels.
