Guild Wars 2

For example, if you’re a Fractal level 11 and your friend wants to run a ten, you could still work towards 12 with the “Fractal XP” awarded from the lower level Fractal.

Then you have people running Easier fractals to progress to higher levels with out ever doing the in between.

I can see it now I have done fractals level 1 50 times and am effectively level 25 but I never had to risk the hard aspect of level 2 through 24

Then you’d probably suck in level 25…

it is not really the point that you would suck or not

XP per fractal on a scaling system that way wouldn’t work right like Kaimick pointed out. A scaling system will split people apart as we’ve seen which is also a not so fun downside. Scaling can slow down progression though since you have to find people around your scale.

You can scale the fractals by resetting daily like saying each day everyone starts at scale 1 and can work toward higher scales opening up better grouping opportunities per day. Downside with this would be calculated against casual players based on time per session.

Scaling works better when players can select their difficulty from a smaller set range up front rather than continual unlocking giving casuals more opportunity also. The intention though relies on what the devs have in mind.
