The trouble with behests

[Punainen]

I don't know how behests in 2.0 will work, but at the moment, behest difficulty is scaled by how many people join and what level they join at.

This seems like no problem...

Except that lately, every behest I try at any camp eventually has SOME level 50 show up and join, and then not even participate (and if they do participate, they one-shot all the mobs and waste all the xp), causing it to become too difficult for me on the class I intended to use during the behest.

I'm not entirely sure what can be done about it, but if anything can, it would be extremely helpful

surely you know they doing that for achievement
always late, those people

[normalforce]

Yea. Everyone is trying to get those achievements so they're hitting all the behests. When I do it as a lower level character, most of those higher level characters let me hit it once before they waste it, thereby guaranteeing that you'll get the exp.

I've never seen anyone sit it out before.

I've had this problem before like a level 50 joining a behest at Camp Drybone. They really need to implement a sort of level cap to join these. It's a very annoying problem I don't see why it happens.

It's more or less SE fault for implementing the achievement system this late in the game, when almost all player got battle class capped
not long after they implement, influx of new player happen, then this problem happen to them

[Punainen]

Well I'm also trying to get the achievement, but also trying to make use of the exp to be earned from it as well as behests are excellent exp. So I understand them wanting the achievement, but that doesn't mean they need to up the difficulty and not help, or waste the exp by stealing all the claims.

Any time I ran across a lower level when I was doing some of the behests at 50, I waiting for the other to claim before I killed, so the xp didn't get wasted. But even when I ask these people to let me get claim, many of them don't listen.

most of time i have seen level 50 let the lower ones claim then they kill it. Personally i do that too since going for the achievement, helping the lower levels get the exp. But tehre are some that doesn;t care and just kill it all and not let the lower players get exp. Can't do much about it, as people want finish off these achievement before 2.0.

I thought about a level cap also, but that may prevent some people from getting the achievements if they make new ones for it in 2.0. But if they don't make achievements for 2.0 behests, then definitely, there should be a level cap. Otherwise I'm not sure.

Except killing the mobs before the lower levels can get claim doesn't make the next behest happen any sooner.

At the moment they can't implement a level cap without restricting people from getting the achievements. If you could bring down a players level to the behest level then sure but with 2.0 around the corner that won't happen either. Most level 50's will wait for you to hit the mob first unless they are a douche.
