    Baffling change to EW alliance raids in 7.2 patch notes

    I'd like to hear the reasoning for this change


    I assume this is because aglaia is a popular leveling instance for levels 90-100, but... Why do you consider that a problem?

    In the notes right before that, it says the bonus experience points for the alliance duty roulette has been increased, but that's only once a day. Why was it decided to take this option away from players? If it's stressing the instance servers in some way, I could understand, but if it was just taken away because players were engaging with the game in a way you didn't like, then I think you should reconsider your decision making process

    This choice is beyond bad.

    I know Aglaia etc., isn't exactly the epitome of interesting, but the prospect of incentivizing people doing Alliance Raids by getting EXP is absolutely a good idea.

    It's been the ONLY good idea they've had this expansion, so it should be that ALL OTHER alliance raids are made to be more in-line with these 3, as opposed to making these 3 in-line with all others.

    It's an MMO, you would think large-scale content and alliance raid esque content to have proper EXP incentives, I would argue more so, or just as much as the 4-man duties.

    Absolutely a bad change, not that I expect good decision making in the first place.

    Is the "problem" stemming from the fact the earring we got with pre-order still gives a 30% boost when you synch to level 90 and... er... I actually don't know why that is a problem beyond giving us "too much" XP.

    Very weird decision. At the same time they buffed bonus EXP from araid roulette for everything that's not Syrcus Tower or World of Darkness. They dont want people to specifically queue for the EW araids to farm EXP. Only roulette allowed I guess.

    Because people directly queued for the level 90 Alliance Raids instead of running Alliance Raid only once per day using the roulette feature, that had to be cut down. Can't stop respecting the players time now, can we? /s

    It's probably because people who were doing it for the first time or were new to the game had issues finding a group via Matchmaking, but perhaps it's time to have another look at the Trust and improve it further. Make it actually a viable and comparable alternative.

    Thank god I no longer have to deal with this nonsense. For me at least, dungeon spam is just a miserable experience. Not one single one of them is fun to do, especially not when you have to level several jobs.

    There are two types of duties:

    "Leveling" duties, which include any duties in the following level ranges: 1-49, 51-59, 61-69, 71-79, 81-89, 91-99

    "Max Level" duties aka "High-level", which include any duties at these levels: 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

    Leveling duties have always been designed to give lots of experience points, while max level ones don't give any until they are modified to do so after the level cap increase. The max level ones usually are not scaled to give much experience.

    So, from their perspective, it's an oversight. However, in practice, it doesn't matter and nobody really cares about the distinction. So it's odd that they have seen that as a priority over almost any other pressing issue in the game.
