    Because they don't like pvp. They are just there for the reward. That's it. The actual reward received - 3 vs 5 mogtomes - doesn't matter. even xp reward, from daily bonus. they don't care about the mode. they don't care about putting any effort in.

    Apparently so. You'd think people who don't like PvP might do something else instead. Auto-piloting Praetorium must be less unpleasant than having Olivia yell at you.

    It's easy rewards for minimal effort, whether you win or lose. The rewards from 2nd/3rd place are no different to them. And the ones that hate pvp, will queue for the rewards and will actively undermine the effort, because they hate pvp and feel resentment for being there. There are so many sources of XP in this game, so do something else!. Same with mogtomes. You can put less effort into Prae, overall, for more rewards. It's just such a drain, when you have a critical mass of these people on your team.

    If they're in it for tomes, then it should make sense to choose the option that increases their chances of winning, but that can be hard to understand.

    I didn't suggest they follow me though, just stop doing anything at all and they've added 80+ points of value to the team.

    Did you actually make that suggestion in chat? That would be pretty funny. "Don't do anything!!! <se.4><se.4><se.4>"

    There's definitely been some very peculiar play. I wonder if there are tome-farming Discords where the old lags tell the sprouts that the correct strat is to suicide into the leading team since that gives the highest number of tomes/hour? Bots maybe? I saw a Dancer miles away from their deathball running into the outside wall of cave earlier today. Peddling on the spot. Strange. Since I was passing I helped put them out of their misery.

    Last week my 20 mogtome challenge was to do the PvP "Hidden Gorge". During peak hours on Saturday I queued for a half hour, and at that point there was still an estimate of "More than 30 minutes". I realized there was no guarantee that it would ever pop and that I was wasting my day waiting, so I turned it off.

    All of which is to say, I wholeheartedly support removing PvP from mogtomes.

    Ah now, if we're putting the shoe on the other foot, we should avoid running before we can walk lest we throw the baby out with the bath water.

    I was certainly unimpressed in Genesis I to discover my 50 tome special was to go Ocean Fishing.

    It mainly pops on primal. Don't know which server you're on
