What really sucks is the lower amount of loot. 3 items for a run in time, same as 1.5 chests now. Usually you can easily 2-3 chest on 10-12 even with subpar random groups, so loot is almost cut in half. Also you will not get the item lvl upgrades for 2nd and 3rd chest you get on lower keys now. And less chance for legendary as well. Then again if you want to kill boosting doing away with the 2nd and 3rd chest is necessary. Makes you wonder though why they needed more than half a year to realize that they do not like the boosting. How does it hurt boosting? This makes it even easier, we sell alot of 15 runs for easy gold and having your own key makes it even more convenient. Infact with so little loot on offer rerunning keys is even more viable. Additionally you can target farm a specific key for certain items people really want at high ilevels. It makes no different to boosting, the only thing it really stops is people with low geared characters have less leverage because their key isnt of much value anymore. | ||

It helps people who sell runs but hurts people who currently get boosted for free because they have a good key others want to use. | ||

Yeah I was not referring to gold boosting on 15 but the boosting you see all the time on the majority of M+ groups formed with LFG tool when well equipped players boost way worse players on their low keys. This is also what Blizzard is targeting with this change as evident from their post. You are right gold boosting should actualy be helped by this because there will be way less free boosting available. Still the amount of this should be way smaller. | ||

People will still be boosting, they just wont be boosting a variety of keys so not getting shitty keys boosted is the only net change. | ||

i'm still in favor of 1tank + 1heal + 4dps dungeons, it's closer to the raid distributions of players. Raids could use a bit of tweaking there too to meet it in the middle. 1/1/3 directly scales up to 4/4/12 for 20 man raids, twice as many tanks as we actually use. People largely lock into their mainspec based on raid roles so that leads to a huge shortage of tanks for non-raid content 1/1/4 scales to 3/3/12 with a couple slots spare, maybe 3/3/14 or 3/4/13.. or just leave it 3/3/12 and go 18 man mythic? A direct 1:3 ratio is efficient. | ||

Dungeons: 1/1/2 Trials and big dungeons: 2/2/4 Raids: 3/6/15 (3 groups of 1/2/5 with separate loot (each boss drops a chest of 2 items per group)) Raids still seem weird, but I like how it is handled overall. The smaller content gives good ratio and it has enough spread of classes that you aren't really short of a specific role. | ||

I gotcha. I still havent raided in ff14 because I don't really have an active FC (and I play WoW a lot atm with an active guild). | ||

We’ve recently taken action against a number of accounts involved in win-trading in Rated Battlegrounds. This is a clear violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Service, as well as the spirit of competitive play. When we took these actions, we believed that the accounts being affected were used primarily by seller agencies, who exchange in-game wins for real-world currency, and not for normal gameplay, and so they were issued permanent closures. Once those actions were completed, we started hearing from players whose accounts had been affected but were not affiliated with a seller agency. We then began an immediate re-investigation of all accounts. That investigation concluded that there were indeed some players caught in this action who should not have been hit with a permanent account closure. Those that were not involved with seller agencies but still found to be purposefully involved in win-trading have had their closures reduced to a suspension, with a duration fitting the severity the win-trading they participated in, and beginning on May 1st (the date we applied the initial closures). For some extremely minor offenses, that duration was short enough that it has already been lifted. Affected players should have received an email that indicates the corrected action. We also discovered a small number of players whose accounts had been closed but had not engaged in any win-trading at all. We are deeply sorry to have punished those players incorrectly, and in addition to overturning their account closures, we have issued them with 30 days of additional game time as an apology. We’d like to make it clear that we have fully identified the error that caused this issue to occur, and can be confident in saying that future actions do not make the same mistake. That said, we’d also like to remind players that win-trading in order to earn things like Honor, Artifact Power, or Achievements is still win-trading, and is subject to the same punishments as win-trading in order to gain rating. Again, we apologize for the inaccuracies of our original actions. While we remain committed to upholding the integrity of rated play, we will take more care to ensure that the correct actions are taken in the future. I'm unsurprised and somewhat relieved by this development. Hopefully the CS and ban guys wake the fuck up because it never should have happened. People were permabanned with no prior offenses in their first RBG game (some not involved or accidentally involved with wintrading). They were not told why they were banned (only "Exploitation of game mechanics"). They had any appeals or attempts to talk to a human refused with a copy/pasted message about the accounts having reviewed and of evidence against them; the closest thing that we'll ever get to absolute proof that blizzard's main review system is either unusably broken or entirely made up. No live chat, no phone calls, 24 hour response time. The amount of people that this is acceptable to happen to is zero. Customer support has been degrading steadily over the years but this is a new low for Blizzard across any game ever | ||
