I really don't get the removal of the rune. Was not bugged. Still preferred it when you tported back into the RIFF not outsite. In my humble opinion closing the gap to the edge of the world to stop the cheat would have been a lot simpler then redirecting the tport. But that's another story.
1st the removal of 2 of the rewards, then the money (why did that ever happen anyway?) now the rune... there is little left in the AROP for the helper or those that will be doing the AROP.
By adding all those tports to get back in the RIFF (bind place, Central Hub if not close to a main city tport, Dralk, fly to the cave, tport in) seems to be a little ridiculous. Mostly when you are in a hurry to get back and help in the fight. Not the mention the added lag of all those tports.
Yes, I know we can bind to Dralk, but we all know how many times we forget to do just that, I do all the time.
It can be difficult at times to find a good number of Ancients to make the group it may make it even more difficult in the future. Many may just not bother helping or worst completing the AROP beyond getting the Resurrection Skill.
Could the Ancients disappear if the rewards keep disappearing?
