Conversations: On groups, Druids, Dungeons, Lock Out

[Crissa]

The truth is that they grouped for bosses, and now if you're not in a pre-arranged group, you're not going to be invited.

You're going to be told that they want someone better. And despite Khay's argument there are over-leveled players in lower level dungeons.

Any time you have a group limited by player numbers, that group will optimize to have the best players available. Players available will often include over-leveled - because you have over-leveled players in Guilds, as friends, needing some random drop in the dungeon, or just need cash.

Over-leveled players may not want to go to lower level dungeons, but they do that to solo already.

I can solo anywhere but the bosses in the Goblin dungeon. And despite that I can hear that there are solos and groups attacking bosses in that dungeon, I didn't get an invite until I realized I couldn't even damage The Fog and said so on Global and someone took pity on me. Someone over-leveled who was farming, solo'd The Fog for me and let me follow them around. An experience that has been repeated time and again in pretty much every dungeon lately.

I haven't had an at-level group since the locking was added.

Motivations:
Friend needs to level
Pity
Need to farm cash solo anyhow
Someone in Guild needs help
Leveling Guild members
Leveling Friends
Boredom
Need a random drop from that dungeon anyhow
It's kinda bad-ass to solo bosses

'No motivation for Khay' ≠ 'no motivations exist'.
