I wanted to share my final thoughts on this subject.
I think its fair to say that the folks who frequent these forums are a small percentage of the Conan Exiles Player Community.
That said, I do think the vocal participants on this Forum are somewhat representative of the diverse types of players that can be found on Conan Exiles.
With few exceptions, most folks seem to think that allowing the Build over of World Bosses is not a good idea for a variety of reasons.
It seems to create a dual definition for what is considered Content
With statement like this in the Guidelines,
My interpretation of this includes World Bosses, and the Legendary Weapons they provide access to.
It would appear that Funcom Staff have a different interpretation of this.
I see this as problematic for a few reasons.
It has the potential to create more animosity amongst the players, and that is not good.
It erodes trust in the Company because it seems this decision was made in a rather arbitrary way and reduces confidence that Reports will be reviewed seriously when submitted.
It also opens the door to more interpretations of what Content should and should not be safeguarded increasing the grey area of the Guidelines, rather than reducing it.
I don’t see this decision resulting in fewer Ticket submissions, rather as more World Bosses get blocked off, I would expect Ticket submissions to increase.
There may be other factors at play that We the players are not aware of that were part of the process resulting in this decision, but based on the information available to me, this seems like a poor position to take on this issue.
Thanks for reading.
