I really hope they make it so non leve pt is better, it'd be nice to pop on and check the seek pt for a pickup again rather than having 0 pts outside of leve. |

Well, the penalties already exist. They implemented them a patch or two ago. It's what killed behest for a lot of people, since more than 8 would queue up for it. You'll also notice how much more SP we got from dunesfolk then 3rd run we did, once we dropped down to exactly 8 members. The change in this patch, as far as I'm aware, is simply making it so you can't invite 15 people anymore. 9-15 person parties have been dead for awhile now, but you still had the option to invite 15 to do NMs, or a few extra people for a leve-link party, or whatever. Now we will be locked down at 8. Should make future NM fights more interesting. Especially with no outside healing to force the healers to do in order to free up party slots. |
