Regular dungeon boss farming

joshisanonymous

So this was a problem I remember from launch that was addressed several months later by, I believe, providing diminishing returns for killing bosses repeatedly. I was thrilled when it was addressed because bots and persistent players completely ruined the fun of fighting bosses in dungeons, but it seems this problem has returned in the Thieves Guild dungeons.

Is this going to be addressed again? Why is it even happening in light of the old fix? Do diminishing returns not apply to these dungeon bosses? Am I mistaken that there ever were diminishing returns?

This really makes dungeons not fun at all.

The reason it's happening right now is because many of the new Outlaw Motif pages are dropped by the bosses in those delves. To ZOS' credit, the drop rate is pretty high so no individual person is sticking around in the dungeon for more than, say, 5 hours or so to get what they need. But there are just so many people doing the Thieve's Guild content that there's a very regular stream of fresh faces hunting those elusive motif pages. If the bosses were more like the considerably difficult World Bosses, you might be able to get more fun out of the fight, but as it stands you kind of need to luck out and get in during a time when few people are trying to farm it.
