I searched the 1st 4 pages of this forum and didn’t see any of the topics similar to this. I don’t know if i am in the wrong place or if they all got merged somewhere. Never the less…

Starting off, I know that anet messed up the mastery xp situation in the labyrinth and don’t intend to fix it because it might cause more problems than it solves. But I wonder if there are alternative ways to give xp. How hard is it to alter the loot tables of the mobs there? Could they not add in a drop (from the mobs, not the bags so as in not to be able to buy mastery xp) that is similar to writs of xp but give mastery xp instead.

Hell I would be very happy if they simply added a place-holder item that they later (after the event) fixed to provide an amount of mastery xp determined to be the proper amount of xp for the event. The amount would likely have to account for not being able to get xp from the events inside the labyrinth but I don’t imagine that would be too hard (especially since most of the events are murder/loot parties anyways). Added bonus of a place-holder item is if they find that they made the drop rate too high/low than they would simply have to adjust the xp received per item after the fact.

I feel like this is not terribly unreasonable and would be a better alternative to just leaving it broken until after halloween ends.
