Motivating People to do other PQ's
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2017 1:53 pm
Every since PQ set's came out, every realm sorta has it's established meta farming spot. Right now you either do easy PQ for steady sub gold bags with smaller groups that can't really tackle the hard PQ's, usually because the best hard PQ's tend to be higher level and the majority of people farming tend to be lvl ~32 and get trashed by mobs 4+ levels higher than them. Or you get a decent ~6 man pug group or hard lvl 40 carry to farm gold bags at the hard PQ.
Each realm has it's established easy, and hard PQ farm. Destro you go to Loryndaal for easy, Blind Justice for hard. Order you go to plague mist vale for easy, orkwerks for hard. All of these have in common a sub 5 minute run time, the easy PQ's can be done in under 2 minutes even with just 2 people. Every other PQ in T4 may as well not exist in most peoples books.
But I'm sure the devs doing all this work on PQ's would like to see people enjoying all of them, iir we almost have most of the PQ's in the game working now? A lot of them are actually pretty cool and take you neat places. But you inevitably are just doing them for gear, and when you have PQ's 3-5x faster most are not gonna bother doing the others.
I think it would be cool if PQ's had a sort of stacking bonus to bag spawns for every hour they avoid being completed up to a maximum amount. That way it would be more efficient to go out in the world and do really just any random PQ's to get bags than it would be sitting at one PQ for hours on end in a grind group. Maybe someone else has ideas as well?
