We have all seen the frustration from players who don’t necessarily have friends to run the fractals with. The problem is that forming Pugs for fractals is nearly impossible. This is because each group must have 5 people who have all made it to the same fractal level. While it is possible for players who are at higher levels in the fractals to come down to help out lower leveled players, the fact is that everyone wants to advance to their next fractal. Because there is a limited amount of people in LA at all times, and only around 7 actually using Map chat (results may vary) finding a group for fractals is ridiculously tedious.
I think that fractals should work like this: a player must complete 10 rounds of fractals in order to advance to the next tier. No specific levels, just tiers. While in the current system there is some difficulty scaling per fractal level (I cant really tell since I have only made it to LEVEL 4), MY system would simply take the average amount of fractals that the players have completed in that tier and use that as the difficulty of the fractal.
TL;DR Get rid of fractal levels and only have tiers; require 10 rounds to advance.
