So I've asked in game but I havn't been able to find a confident answer. Is lmpq working? If so why is no one doing it? I'm assuming its not working since no one is asking for groups.
I'm pretty sure no one was doing LMPQ because of the ticket droprate being bugged, but they fixed it in this update. I think it should work properly now. If it is fixed, I'm gonna take a guess why people aren't doing it. LMPQ was busted for a few months, if I remember correctly. Most players with old accounts, or basically players that aren't new, would rather prefer to buy leech during those levels, like at GS2 or something. In addition, most people fared well without LMPQ, so they might not have decided to do it after it was fixed. In addition, those levels are fairly easy to grind through (GS2, MP3, Voodoos/hoodoos, Windraiders, FoG) so during the x2 exp coupon giveaway two weeks ago, people who were those levels or approaching those levels probably grinded them out, meaning there aren't as many people within that level range. As for new players or people who want to do LMPQ, it's just that since so few people can find parties, they themselves resort to grind/leech. Because those people grind/leech, others can't find parties. It would be an endless cycle of people grinding because they can't find parties, because people gave up searching for parties to grind, causing people to be unable to find parties.
Actually have tested out LMPQ after the update. The ticket drop rate is not fixed yet. Not all boxes in the designated rooms dropped the tickets now, but understandably that's how it was meant to be. But we've only gotten 50 or less tickets per run now. (which probably reasoned to why the drop rate hasn't been fixed). With that amount of tickets gained in exchange for EXP, I would rather grind at some other places.
There are reports on the drop rate not being fixed, and we'll look into it asap. As for the boxes spawning the mob, only one box should spawn mobs per room.
