While working on Classic EQ Achievements, one often requires 6 live people to request the event. How about allowing a 3 person group with mercs? That would make think a bit more simple for getting the Achievement. If there is an issue with farming items, place a lockout timer on them. What do ya think?
Think once an expansion unlocks for all, raids in that expansions should have the no merc and minimum number required people flags removed. Its not always easy to get people to go back and do old stuff for a check mark.
I totally agree.. been working on the Dragons of Norrath progression, I'm a returned player from long ago, and rounding up the people to be able to request the raids is a big pain. Please consider removing the no merc and minimum number requirement, it would be appreciated.
You can load alts to fill your group with 6 players (they can be offline), request the instance, then pop mercenaries once you're inside. This works for Agent of Change instances. It's kind of dumb you have to jump through that hoop in the first place, but it does work to use your mercenaries for these raids.
