Even I think they should not put rewards in place that actively encourage leaving at the first sign of a failed timer. Make it a flat reward for completion, and leave it at that.
Then what is the reward for actually completing the content within the set parameters (one of those being timer), besides more rating? Completing the objective within the constraints should always be more heavily rewarded than not. With rating no longer tied to gear upgrades, the logical reward is a tiered currency structure.
so it’s faster to leave the group to find another one that will have a higher chance at completing the mythic+ key for more fragments.
This was true in all seasons where rating mattered to gearing. Nothing changes. Leavers have a right to leave without punishment if they arent going to complete the content within the restraints that are set.
Ofc it was, but now it’s encouraged even more due to not even getting half the fragments if you stick around in a pug after the timer expires. Groups should be encouraged to complete the key, not leave them.
One of the main reasons that is making people stick around to complete keys right now is due to gaining bonus valor after key completion, they don’t even have that now in Season 2.
no, it does. if you finish over time your key drops a level. but you do still get vault credit. if I run the 22 nokhud in my bag, I’m not going to time it. at the end I’ll have a 21 something but have vault credit for the 22.
