If people can help others with so many things, why would some people consider buying balens?
I understand the ideas above posters came up with can solve some of the abuse, but I still don't see this happening.

I have to agree, being how I've had to spire solo as everybody was done

i find Dontella option is a good one.
if it's possible to help people in MP and tank, why not in spire ?
about the abuse trouble, remember that even if you can help, most powerfull people generally try to create a group in spire to go deeper. so you will only be able to help after your group have done spire
i doubt many people will do spire after spire as
- spire take more time than one MP (if you go deep enough)
- going deep need strategy. it's sometimes really annoying when the whole group don't do the same. some will probably stop helping really fast
still, i really hope it's possible to help people in spire.
it's heart breaking when you see someone asking for spire after WB2...

Coming in after the mini-debate above, I'd like to address some points raised in it before adding my own thoughts.
Grazeh, you really would have benefitted from a thorough reading of Dontella's proposal before making vague or inaccurate rebuttals. She did specify using the Tanks model of allowing 2 attempts but only rewarding one. Had she not done so, you would have been right - unlimited Spires would allow "Spire tourism" with high-powered "tour guides." You also fail to realize that nowhere in the game is an "upper level limit" imposed on any cooperative event to keep players above a certain level from helping, and I doubt they would code it in just for this. It's a nice idea, and one which could be useful in several other cooperative events...I just don't see it ever being implemented.
Dontella, I like your proposal. You seem to have anticipated the potential abuses of increasing Spire runs, and accounted for them (to the degree that they can be, as you acknowledge the existing potential for high-level hand-holders) with the 2-run limit that only rewards once. However, the second run takes what is currently a rare situation (a high-powered player sacrificing a run to help weaker players get further) and would dramatically increase its prevalence. I can foresee a cascading scheme where Players A, B, and C (high-powered) help players D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K, and L (lower-powered) get better rewards on the latter players' reward run. These players then go on to help 3 more players each (lower-powered than themselves) on THOSE players' reward runs...and so on and so forth. Does the potential for abuse already exist? Yes. Could this greatly increase the likelihood of abuse? Yes, as well.
All that being said, I have similar sentiments to Dontella. I frequently find myself wishing I could help out a guildie in need of a Spire run, but I've either 1) done mine with my group already or 2) don't want to "lose" Spire chests by running with weaker players...also, it would leave my group trying to find a 4th and that's not fair to my group.Last edited by bshallc2010; 07-19-2013, 01:06 AM.

When you said it was "Rule Breaking" you were not simply voicing an opinion, you were making a statement of policy.
A level 70 with 2 attempts at spire can not help hundreds of people. He can at most, aid 6 people.
As it stands now he can already aid 3 people.
So AGAIN the potential for abuse that you believe exists, is already in place. There is no current cap in place. There is NOTHING stopping this from happening now. As such, because this is already inherent in the game, I fail to see how it's going to become a large issue if a person is permitted to do 2 runs instead of 1. (With only gaining rewards for 1)

"Rule breaking things." Is a very vague reply and without further information, which you are failing to provide, I can not be view it as a valid argument.
Given how I do not see "R2 Moderator" listed under your profile I am going to take this to mean you think there might be an issue but you don't know for certain.
Anyhow last post for me, that's my opinion.
Arguement is basically invalid now as I noticed you ment guild members only.Last edited by Grazeh; 07-18-2013, 09:41 PM.

I'm not going to be specific but I will tell you this there is a reason why player only get 1 attempt a day and until a better suggestion comes accross I seriously don't think they will ever change this.

You say it can lead to "bad things," could you list what you believe those to be?

And simply because you have not personally seen something, does not mean it does not exist. It is only improbable, but it is not impossible.Last edited by Dontella; 07-18-2013, 09:24 PM.

Originally posted by Dontella View PostActually, as the game currently exists there are no measures of stopping people from teaming up with whatever levels of their choice.
Right now a Level 75 could drag a team of 46's into the spire, and help them get to higher levels. While this scenario is not likely, the potential for this already exists in the game.

For example, there are 3 players all not finished their spire run with levels of 50, 57, 47. The player with the lowest level should be the cap so anyone 46-57 without an attempt may help them.

My suggestion is not offering people a way to further abuse the system (since the potential is already present and as such this creates nothing new) but what it is offering is the opportunity for those within a guild to lend assistance to their team. People who have not been able to find a group due to everyone having completed the event already, people who are on different time zones and need a team, people who would normally leave the spire undone simply due to lack of players being able to join them.Last edited by Dontella; 07-18-2013, 09:08 PM.
