ok so after the patch i was pretty excited that the rewards were uped , ive been runing ac with my guild and with pugs , so right away after the patch , i went for an ac run .
now i was a little concerned about the rewards at the end bit ,
what if it bugs?
what if new people give up ?
what if u have a disconect ?
befor we fought the first boss i made it clear , "listen i know this is some of your first times , its hard and you will die alot . but the reward at the end will make up for it . and as you do it you will get better and allmost never die . since the reward is all at the end , please dont do this if you have any want to leave befor we complete it . "
i shoved that to the side and though well detha traps one is verry doable even in a pug so we will do that ,we did and man they died alot , i died alot … no big deal rewards will make up for it right? wrong .
we get to the end , buildign the last cannon , one guy disconects < not sure if he did it , his isp , or he discoencted and got the Anet cannot connect to log in sever > another guy , who was complainign the whole time about his deaths <his first time there > refused to repair his armor , and would run from the mobs continously and hide .
ok no problum right were on the last cannon ill just grab a guildie to replace the guy that disconected and we finish and get the goods . nope , invited the guildie , when they came to the doungion , they got a diffrent instance . i zoned out and back in to try and get them the pop up to pull them in , guess what? yep i got a diffrent instance too . so aobut 20 or 30 silver down , no tokens , and a head ache that was that .
look puting the rewards at the end is a real issue and ther are lots of problums that can happen , from accidents , buggs , random disconects , to potential for trolls and greifers thinkign its fun to mess things up at the end . please spred them out over the whole encouter .
if its an issue where peopel were exploiting , or doing somethign they shoudlnt have bene doing by farming 2 bosses and quiting , the ban them , ban them permnatly for all i care . but put the rewards back in milestone format please .
prepatch , i was happy to run and teach any one that wanted to do them was fun and rewarding
post patch , i don think ill be runnign with any one other then guildies , and even then im worried about buggs and such allmost to th epoint i dont want to risk even trying .
sorry fro the long post .
