Trust exp

[ShadowyZero]

good we are all in agreement then that they need a push to justify running dungeons with them an maybe a mount or glamour reward for US the player to entice us to level every single scion or guest character etc. otherwise i mainly use them for the free loot to glam or for GC turn in for seals and FC credits.

Mhm, more rewards for doing it would be worthwhile, but... "something, something, budget?"

Your first spill.

It's a failed mechanic. They tried it out and it prevented people doing the content with trusts again because they weren't gonna level them. They buffed the exp but that also didn't make it better. So they separated it into "Trusts" (that you level for glamour) and "Scenario Mode", so that it's easier to ignore them and just use Scenario Mode always. Which of course was renamed to Duty Support.

I just don't bother leveling them. It's so boring.

A title and an achievement is fine for me, but it's unrealistic how long it takes. The XP should be the boosted XP from the beginning given how tedious this is.

Leveling Trusts is more boring than doing Levequests.

If I were a designer I would have made the Trusts into a Roulette and let four real players play as each of the Scions et al; maybe one of four gets randomly selected to keep their WOL. Something...something...MMO.

This totally defeats the point of trusts though. There still is an incentive to do it with players, but the point is theoretically to make it so that people can play dungeons at a slower pace or without the pressure of having other players. Yeah, it's an MMO but that doesn't mean every piece of content needs to be group content. Most MMOs have loads of solo content and thats by designs. OSRS/RS3, WoW, ESO, GW2, etc.

The Trust system should be merged with the Duty Support system, as it should have been from the beginning.
Get rid of the level requirements for the dungeons; because I don't think anyone likes doing the same dungeon a few dozen times in a row to get all characters to a certain level.
Instead make the leveling a mere requirement for unlocking costumes for the characters, like they kinda already are.

Maybe I would level them if they were like FFXI trusts and I could use them in the overworld. I would rather FATE grind than dungeon spam with them. At least I would get a useful currency.

Playing it for about 6 years... Didn't even knew it exists LMAO

Developing three systems (GC squadrons, trusts, duty support) that do exactly the same thing strikes me as symptomatic of a design team that has run out of ideas.
