Levels are too spread out for this 5 level rule

I'm sure if you're vr14 this isn't a problem for you but when trying to put together a group to hit a dungeon (e.g. random non-vet daily). It's really difficult to keep within 5 levels. One guy is vr1 the other vr7, some might still be below 50. Somehow you made grouping even worse than it was.

I'm not sure of the fix but perhaps instead of spending time worrying that someone might be powerleveled through the dungeons, you spend that time making grouping a pleasant and rewarding experience.

    Yes, multilevel groups are going to struggle.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!
    Wizard's first rule
    Passion rules reason
    Wizard's third rule
    Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie.
    Wizard's fifth rule
    Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self
    Wizard's tenth rule

    Interesting implementation they chose. I have only one thing to say to it: GW2

    Oh, and one more thing. This whole "No group formed till filled" is actually MUCH worse.

    1) I used to be able to /zone for the rest. Once a core is formed it's easier to get the last spot filled. This was very effective

    2) It's not just that the group isn't formed till full, it's that you get NO FEEDBACK whatsoever until it's full. I have no idea if it's working at all or just pretending too

    (the lfg tool is currently behaving exactly the same whether or not you use it)

    2 potential groups for today's non-vet pledge (VoM) killed by the 5 level rule so far today

    EDIT:
    4 groups now

    EDIT 2:
    6 attempts before finding a group within a couple levels of each other. Great, we hit VoM for the daily pledge and kill the first boss. No credit for either the pledge or the quest itself. So, pretty much the morning is wasted.

    I think I'm out,
    Peace

    If they are going to stick to this way of grouping they need to expand this to 10 or even 12 levels. They can implement diminishing returns in some fashion, but at least let us group up.

    Vaults of Madness is buggy as hell. I think... but I'm not sure, if you kill her while her orbs are up, she doesn't count.
