    • Dungeon Runs nowadays

    What happened to FB/BH/etc. runs? Back in the old days a squad of people would gather and clear the dungeon. Now everyone just takes a higher level player with them who does all the work. Not only does it take away all the fun, it also takes away the opportunity to learn your class.

    Seriously, is no one doing the dungeons "proper way" anymore?

      Why should they? That's not what the game is about anymore. Why should anyone do BH or any dungeon quests or any open map quests when they can frost from 1 to 100 in a couple days? 90+% of the map is barely used due to hyperleveling. How many people does anyone ever see killing mobs outside of Tusk Town for a quest?

      Those days are gone but for many of us who were around to do those worls and FB and BH quests we do carry nostalgic fond memories of it.

      I summoned a Jaden Qingfu beetle in NW last night and delighted some venos that have been around awhile. Brought back a lot of memories for them.
      I **** bigger than you...

      Shut up and play the game.....Damn

      Restricting frost to 80+ would fix this problem and people would start doing them again... *cough cough* Hint, Hint PWE... >_>

      i do really miss these good times.
      I tried to make an alt one day and try to level it the hard way. It's just not the same anymore - there's no one else around. This is an MMORPG and the majority of the player population is at the top end of the level pyramid so thats where everyone wants to be. A few years ago it was much better distributed. I guess this is because of the emphasis on PK and PVP...

      I still try and run BHs with normal levels on my alts' level caps if just possible. I do not let high levels in and it's actually funny to see them rage about it.

      Same here.
      I'll usually respond with. "We did it without high levels for two years, I think we can do it now. Unless, that is, you can't play your character."

      They'll either shut up or leave, either way suits me.


      Edit: could a mod merge this thread into the other and delete the duplicate first post? Dunno why the OP felt the need to post it twice.

      Well if some of them are like me(but I wont "rage" about it, that's extreme) its only natural be a little angry when having a kind offer rejected. Well to put it in a better way, there are those who thrive off helping others, but have it hard coming to terms that not everyone will accept their help.

      you do seem nice but you should not help them unless um it goes like a hour of these low lv trying to get a party and cant find them.

      you help them most by letting ppl do there bh at there own lv


      its not that we dont apreciate ur help its that we dont want someone to solo it for us.

      It appears to the panda that this thread is a duplicate of the other.
