There should be an xp bonus for getting bad pugs through a quest/raid. I suggest that it should be as follows:

One Bad Pugger +10% bonus xp
Half of party are Bad Puggers +20% bonus xp
What are you doing sticking with this shit?! +35% bonus xp
You Freakin' Ran With Stoddard!!! +800% base xp


This is kind of a bad idea with current scaling mechanics. Right now it's too easy for one person to solo most heroic elite quests even with full scaling, i.e. you'd probably soon have lots of people six-boxing content.

Hmm. The bonus should be given to the folks at the final area of the quest? Or maybe someway to rig if they contributed to the quest or not.

Let's call it Grouphug Bonus.

Completing the quest with more than 1 person at the end area gives concommitant xp bonus depending on the number of people with you at the end, like number of people x 10% more xp.


Frog, leave my bravery bonus alone! If you don't want first lifers to try for bravery, add a warning for hard and elite that doing the quest on hard and elite will make the quest hard and elite respectively. Yes, I know it's reduntant. Yes, I think that there should be redundancy, since folks hardly consider that BRAVERY bonus is only for the brave.

Wait. Do frogs get bravery?

Oh dear... Where did I say underlevel bonus ?
Yeah I know I've posted numerous time that if we kill BB we should go to that.
That's because it kills two stones at the same time : it keeps the powahgameh busy and it solves the problems brought by the Bravery bonus.
Now I'm open to any suggestion, that will works and that is defined on a quest by quest basis with a wider range of bonus.


Leave the BB alone.  PUGs are down because of a lot of other reasons besides BB.

1- player populations
2- no point in running most raids at cap because random loot is so good and raid loot is so rare and/or shitty
3- not enough content to keep a capped toon busy

work on those first and BB last.  oh, and good luck with that.

Have you tried a lower difficulty, such as the official forums?

They do if they don't surrender in the first minute of the quest.

I must be confusing you with some other european guy. Maybe Azog is all about underlevel bonus? If so I didn't realize, and would have left that part out. The rest still stands though. Kill BB and you'll do way more harm than good.

Maybe modifying Bravery Bonus.

Make it awesome enough that the Brave truly deserve it.

Make it mild enough that the not so brave will not miss it.

And cover it all with chocolate sprinkles and boobies, so that we'll all like it.
