You have done APQ before but never seen people complain about this? Liar. Why not make the spawn more spread out instead of having 3 people appear on the same spot and play the "who's staying, who's going left, who's going right" game?
"Look, I'm gonna pick up on the obvious exaggeration and provide no argument whatsoever, it's gonna make me look so smart hehe"
"I want others to take my feedback seriously, so I should just post the issue exaggerated without any details. The caps ought to get their attention!"
What other details do you need besides that it sucks to spawn right next to others in APQ bonus stage? Do you want me to write a full length essay on why it would be beneficial to have people spread out evenly throughout the map?
"Damn this Dave, how dare him! Why would I need to write proper paragraph with reason stating how many APQs I did and how many times I spawned together with my party members??? Screw that, cause the Staff ought to know what to do already! Providing statistics will never help with justifying the case, exaggeration will do the trick."
I do agree it can be a little annoying, but really, it isn't a big deal to most people. People tend to figure it out, and it's just part of it all, especially given the value of the prizes (i.e. apples). Party quests are all about cooperation and team work, and that includes the bonus stage. If it was supposed to be a non-team stage, we would all spawn in a separate instance of the bonus map. But we don't.
