Even Wrote:What exactly is your range anyway? Imo if you dont have a single item perfect scrolled (points at weapon mainly) you dont deserve to have a dojo glove at all, not even the weakest one. Thats how stupid the old dojo was, anyone with just pomegranatety gear could clear it and the only reason why people like that obtain the glove, was because the server didnt have enough people that bothered to do dojo.
In EMS Kradia we hardly have 50 people who can clear it at this point (yes a lot of them are db, kaiser & xenon) but most people can clear it with some effort of funding yourself outside of paying money like [MENTION=618]Takebacker[/MENTION] already mentioned before.
I can agree to some extend that the current dojo is too hard but the old one wasnt fair at all either, personally I think its better this way.
I'm not quite seeing the problem you're having. It's true that before, most classes, especially the new ones, could clear ranked mode with mediocre gear. That doesn't mean that they could get a good enough time to actually qualify. My old 150 DB could have completed ranked mode, but it generally didn't have a good enough time to get a glove. The only times that I got a glove were when not that many people did dojo. And how is that the fault of the weaker people who managed to get a glove? You're saying that not that many people bothered to take advantage of content that lets you get a powerful item. So, if a weaker person does go through it, how is it his or her fault that the stronger person couldn't be arsed to do it? If you were strong enough to place, but decided not to do it, it's no one's fault but your own. If you wanted any one of the gloves, you'd just need to spend, like sub-17 minutes. Most people, with a few months/weeks of training, could complete a 10k race, but that doesn't mean that they'll be able to place at the top. So, if you're strong and you want a glove, why is it anyone's problem but your own that you don't bother to dojo? And if your own glove is stronger than the one you could conceivably get from dojo, why are you complaining? You can get one for a week, anvil it if you want, and then never bother trying again until you can move up in the ranks. So, really, who's being hurt if most people can complete it? The top people are effectively the ones who can complete for a top 10 or better glove. The top 50 glove can be an occasional bonus for people with mediocre gear. If a person with generally good gear but a bad glove wants to get a glove, they would easily be able to get at least a top 50 glove. The gloves aren't tradeable or permanent anyway, so it's not like it devalues your sales of empress gloves or anything. The mediocre people generally won't be able to consistently get one.
Also, what if I'm 135+, and I just want to get the card? Unless there's some other way to get it, you effectively can't complete the set. It's not like the set bonus is great anyway, so it effectively locks people out from completing a small prize. In previous events, you could get coins by completing the dojo. Since ranked is effectively impossible to complete for most people now, what is the point of that quest for level 135+ people? This was an issue during the latter parts of the 8th anniversary.
So, how was the old one not fair at all? If you're strong, then you could probably get a glove and prevent a weaker person from getting one. If not enough people bother to dojo, then a weaker person gets a top 50 glove and gets a power boost for a week. And just in case you misinterpret me, I'm not saying that everyone should be able to get a glove. I'm saying it's not a problem if most/a good portion of the playerbase can finish the dojo because stronger players could easily beat those times and get on the board. If they don't bother to do it, that's really too bad.
