My heroes get asked for the organia key somewhat regularly

January 29, 2014 06:05AM
By people that have no hope of getting the key.
It's a no risk area to go through if you have the key, so people just want the key and away they go.

I can think of a few higher end explore areas that a hero can guide a relative lowbie through with ease and low time investment.
I could take someone at most any rank through the entire coral palace (and a hell of a lot of other areas actually) in about 10 minutes with a bard by way of tranquil serenade + lullaby.
Some people are aware of this, so ask. Hell, I could do it to Thar-Acacia just as easily.

Those "I need to impress my guildmaster to learn X" requests from lower level people sort of grate on me as a player though.
I'd volunteer it sometimes if I'm bored, say hey I'm going to lead an expedition to place X, but generally it's not something I would want to bother doing solely for the sake of helping lower level people farm obs/exp xp. Yet, people tend to get annoyed when you say no to those requests because they know it ultimately would take you such a small amount of time to do it for them, especially when say they are in your cabal.

And generally, it's more the power gamey type that make those requests at lower levels, which is why I'm far less likely to say yes.
I always tend to suggest explore trips with people I think may be newer and are higher up or hero level during relative down time (nothing to gather, little PK targets available) for the cabal.

My take.

BattleCharmed January 29, 2014 10:01AM

Well, it wouldn't fix everything: now you'd "have to" run through all the areas in range to farm their explore points.

You don't 'have to' do anything. (n/t)

You didn`t quit? (n/t)

Poor example

Wendigotorn January 30, 2014 07:47AM

You can get quite a lot of organia XP without the key as long as you're not a rager. n/t

Death_Claw January 30, 2014 09:11AM

I also got out of there once by hanging out by the door...someone randomly ran through and unlocked it. n/t

Death_Claw January 30, 2014 09:16AM

I got PK'd waiting there once.

zannon January 30, 2014 09:25AM

2/3 chance on walking straight into the dream from the Eil Shaeria entrance (n/t)

Elystan January 30, 2014 09:28AM

Use the exits command during the day.

Death_Claw January 30, 2014 09:31AM

Very true. (n/t)

zannon January 30, 2014 09:13AM

Not really silly at all.

zannon January 30, 2014 09:10AM

Maybe the option to just surpress the Xp would work?

Malgrim January 29, 2014 06:42AM

I think something more drastic is needed.

Death_Claw January 29, 2014 07:39AM

Moreover, unlike ranking it is a grind that serves absolutely no purpose

semi_newbie January 29, 2014 01:02PM

I think the purpose...

Death_Claw January 30, 2014 05:35AM

Yeah, it is one of those grinds that keeps me from playing

Lokain January 29, 2014 08:53AM

Agreed (n/t)
