Changes to Public Dungeons (Farming Bosses)

Endolith · April 2014

I doubt everyone saw a previous link embedded in one of the threads, so I've provided it below. An excerpt:

"Public Dungeon & Delve Boss Monsters – Also based on feedback, we will be placing a timer on how often you can get loot from public dungeon and delve boss monsters. This timer is shared across all boss monsters in public dungeons and delves. This will not impact loot timers for quest-specific monsters or overworld group bosses. Watch the patch notes for news on when this change will go live."

I was hoping this would forestall the creation of new threads about bots/farming in public dungeons, but alas...

That is somewhat disappointing, because the loot tables outside of those boss encounters are rather useless. So useless in fact I don't even bother with even taking the time to loot most of my kills. I confess to jumping on the bandwagon, but I really only do so to obtain soul gems, and even then I only do it for a few minutes till I get a horde big enough to last me for a day.

I don't think the people killing the boss a few times for loot are a problem, but they had to do something about the bot situation, which was just ridiculous. I'd rather have them on a timer and just live with that than have the current situation.
