Hi, we're a group of three trying to do worldboss dailies, but no one wants to join, doesn't they drop motifs or something tempting? Wierd that people won't join.

This is what happens when zos listens to the "oh so easy" whiners. They beat the boss a couple of times, stroke their... ego a bit, and move on, because they're too great to help out lowly casuals, and a lot of the bosses are an absolute PITA, so newbies are stuck their waiting plaintively for someone to come along and help.

The problem will only get worse.

Other side of this is: if one of the legitimately good players can't solo it, you probably can't clear it.

Here's the thing: you can get better at the game. Don't be satisfied with where you are, strive to be better. Learn what you can.

ive been running Ald'ruhn dailies on 3 chars looking for Ashlander shoulders. Drop rates are baaaaaaad

Maybe devs should add more places to farm motifs if they want ppl to play the content

Does not help that far to many assume Groupbosses are 'leech' spots & will just try to make the top 12 rather than actually learning to play

The solution is not "git gud".

Did I say, "git gud?" Did I tell you, "stop being trash and L2P?"

If you're not satisfied with where you are as a player, work to improve. It is possible, and sitting there going, "well I can't, so this is unreasonable," is both selfish and self-defeating.

I'm fine with where I am. I carry my own in dungeons/trials, but I'm not ashamed to say I can't solo DLC WBs. Not many people can. Can you solo Vvardenfell WBs? Summerset WBs? You probably can, because god knows 95% of this forum seem to be able to. Never actually seen anyone do it though.. must just be unlucky RNG again.

Some of them. It tends to be tedious though. I've also had my ass handed to me in front of the devs, so, I fully understand I'm an outlier in this.

And, here's the thing, I can, but it's not fun, and I don't particularly feel the need to flex my e-peen on the subject, so, if I've got a worldboss to fight, I'll usually start the fight, but I probably won't finish it before someone else wanders along and thinks "hey, free XP."

You know what I will do? 2-man them. I have no problems with grabbing a friend and tag teaming them. That is much more manageable, faster, more fun, and doesn't require you to be a fantastic player.

I'm simply pointing out reality here. The harder these bosses get the worse it will be for newbies 6 months down the track. Chat on Summerset XNA is already a constant stream of people asking for WB help (in between spam). How's that going to be in a year?

The critical thing here, this is an MMO. Make friends, hit those things together. Not with randoms from zone. Those are the failsafe when everything else breaks. You know what they say, "friends help you move, but real friends help you move bodies?" Get some friends together and go after them, not some randos from zone. Because if you're restricting your option to the randos wandering through, you will have a bad time. Not necessarily today, but eventually. Same thing for new players.

Also, you're not happy with where you are, or you wouldn't have felt the need to weigh in on this. You can tell yourself you are, but there's always room for improvement.
