“IF they did something where they auto scaled the level/loot,and XP, I hope they would also add some dynamic scaling based on how "popular" the zone/area/missions are.

One of the coolest ideas they had was during the expansion with Solteris.

The group mission coin rewards were self balancing in that the missions people did a lot had their rewards drop in half while missions folks avoided ended up having their rewards double.

This mechanic made it worth while spending a little longer to do the harder quests, rather than blowing through the same quick quest everyone else was farming.”

Another great example of a feature or mechanic in EQ that was abandoned long ago. They should have continued this in all expacs since.

“A pipe dream has turned into all this.

But I'll try to answer how I'd envision this.

An AoC to spin up the "classic" gray con mobs you're looking for in an instance. Didn't think people actually enjoyed killing trivial gray con mobs, personally I like progress on my character while also getting needed mats. The better solution tbh is for mats to drop globally.

The other thought on this would be encounter locked levels with mobs. The mobs would be the static zone level and would have 2 cons. One con would be the base static level and the second con would be what the mob would morph to if you engaged it. This would be the method if not instituting an AoC to separate the base levels from the dynamic levels.

Origin at will. Is invis rare for you?

The low level folks wouldn't have issue with either of the above methods, because the mob would con appropriate to their level if all in one static.

I'm not sure I understand the last bit about plat generation? Are you afraid this will kill your spiderling leg corner on the market?

Again this was a random pipe dream of what I would do if I had unlimited resources for everquest is make some sort of dynamic play through that doesn't waste 100s of zones, to only churn out like 6 new ones every 365 days.”

What has any of this got to do with T1 raids?
