Whatever they announce is going to come as a complete surprise.<br /><br />My personal nightmare is that the "challenging group content" turns out to be a revamp of all World Bosses to at or above Triple-Headed Wurm level. If its something they stick in instances then I can just ignore it the way i already ignore dungeons and fractals. Although a point will come where I'm ignoring so much of the game there's no point playing any more, I guess.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-31420293920890398542015-08-21T22:41:53.560+01:002015-08-21T22:41:53.560+01:00Weirdest news for a while that was.

Giving them that kind of control means the easy way boot out for most, rather than the current situation of being forced into rallying the map and achieving cooperation/consensus through communication.<br /><br />My only real hope is that if they're going to implement it regardless, that they tie up some of the more restrictive, closed aspects of future raiding, or ahem, "challenging group content" with guilds and guild halls. I can understand guild specific instances being a closed group thing - though it's still nice to have the open world things started by guilds and open to people wandering by and seeing something cool happening and socializing from there. I can more or less accept the idea of striving for group progression via progressing your guild and guild rewards, which can then feed back to benefiting members as individuals..,Jeromaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206083433625986970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-80166107209072782352015-08-20T03:14:18.862+01:002015-08-20T03:14:18.862+01:00I thought the DBG forum news regarding the EQ2 pri...I thought the DBG forum news regarding the EQ2 prison server experiment was rather interesting.
