Another MSQ roulette post: We need change on some level

[Allegor]

Even in that description, someone would need to be repeatedly leaving duty for it to be reportable, and there's no way of knowing that unless you saw the same person leaving instances more than once, in this case, CM... but the only way you could even know that, would be if you yourself either left the instance too, or finished it and for whatever reason, requeued within 30 minutes, and both end up in CM again.

...or, the least likely case, the person is dumb enough to type something like "I've been abandoning and requeuing this place twice already!" before leaving.

So, I was just subjected to the half the party leaves Castrum event and I got to say it's dumb and it should be an actionable offense besides the penalty. You willingly queued into a roulette and left when it wasn't the one you wanted. You know the risks involved when queuing into it. You are affecting other peoples experiences when you do this and then they have to requeue into it and have to wait however long it takes.

I understand things can happen and you have to leave, sometimes at the very beginning of a duty, but for those that intentionally do it, yeah you know who are, should be some form of actionable punishment.

Luckily my group just pugged it: Me as Reaper(Tank), Dancer, Ninja and Astro. It took us 32 mins to do it from start to finish with cutscenes included so no excuse as to why

So there needs to be change on some level for it whether it be an actual offense or some thing much more milder than that. I'm just looking out for other rather than myself.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk whomever you are!

If for 32 minutes you got 0 replacements for all those people, whoever was the leader didn't look for replacements to begin with. So you're complaining for nothing.

Usually the replacements fll in before the group can even start the instance at all, so fast it is.

In the worst case, once I had a group that was missing a tank and a healer in a period not as many people as now were levelling stuff, and it did take until almost the end of the duty to replace, but with 6 persons it was a much faster and smoother run than usual since everybody actually carried their weight, rather than the usual people spamming a button on autofollow while watching netflix or afking.

There's literally no reason to complain, unless you're one of those who just wants to afk or press just 1 button and let others carry them.

And again, if they don't want people to leave, instead of making the penalties even worse, and it's already very long, they gotta make castrum worth the xp instead of a total waste of time where everybody tries the hardest to play at their worst.

I think it's funny people don't have to do it after their initial time and yet...

People are willing to take the 50/50, even if it means leaving 50% of the time coz they got the 'wrong' one.

Strange.

Prae is most of a level in exp and a big pile of poetics for minimal effort and a chance to catch up on Youtube/Netflix/a book/whatever else during the many cutscenes. It's not that strange.

Evading what, exactly? The post I was responding to seemed to be about why people would take the chance on the roulette and dodge out half the time, and I answered it.

I mean, yeah, the roulette sucks. The dungeons should both just become solo/trust duties and nix the roulette entirely. But as long as there are meaty rewards for minimal actual effort, people will keep going for it.

You gave yourself the answer so what? Its a roulette and that means you dont have anything to say about what is in the duty in the end but choose to "when i dont get what i want in a random system i leave or cheese the system" so beeing honest should be easy.
I think it should be Solo duty BUT i dont cheese the system i dont like. I give SE my feedback and as long it is as it is i stay away... not hard atleast for me. Funnly enough i agree with most stuff just not with cheesing and the like.

Just don’t do the MSQ roulette if you don’t like it. It’s not mandatory.

As for me, I like the tomes and the xp we get from it. It’s also an easy way to grind special tomes during some events without spending my time waiting in a queue. All they need to do, is up the xp in Castrum.

[TheMightyMollusk]

If I queue and it puts me in Castrum, I just do it (unless, of course, the entire party drops.....and yes, that did happen to me once). So I'm not sure what you're arguing about, exactly. Just because I understand why people do it doesn't mean I agree or approve.

[Xuled]

Nah. It's fine as it is dude. If you want exp, go for prae always. If you want some easy tomes, go for castrum. Don't create a solution for a problem that doesn't exist just to justify yourself.
