How to win friends and influence people

**Better Loot Endgame: +1
My thoughts: Unclear how this will encourage grouping, without ensuring that the encounter is only groupable.


We can make encounters that are group only, have a room trigger that requires X number of people to enter it.
Have some encounters quest triggered, (many mmo's have this) where X number of people must be present with a "key" of some sort.

We can also setup some loot tables as I've said before.... with seperate loot classes,
treasure - talens - potions - scrolls - commods - comps.
common - armor - little or no stats
rare - armor +decent stats
ultra - armor +nice stats / proc / ability.

and make it so that the groupsize factors into the loot drop percentage calculation from each type.
so, if 1 person groups 1 potion or spellmab may or may not drop
if 6 people group, 3-4 potions and 2 spellbags drop  etc...
and for ultra items... it just ups the 0.02% chance to like 0.05% chance  (numbers are just an example. I have no idea what rates are now...)

FYI I'm pleased with how you guys managed this in a respectful and thoughtful manner.

I had an idea this morning:

How about, if two people are grouped, the trophy code gets reset for them while they are grouped?  This encourages an old player to join up with someone either new to the mud or who is leveling up a char?

Oh I like this trophy idea!
