Although I don't disagree with the post, the auto-engage existed from the get go. Some guilds got it, some didn't. I guess part of the fix was making the auto-engage more consistent as well as the extra spawning add if the mob is still up or not.

fixing the pathing of the adds might be a good start on fixing this encounter...

Oh, we saw it both-ways. It was very very fucking odd and sporadic about whether everybody would get engaged or not in the first version. Definitely did not make sense why it happened sometimes, and others it didn't.

On our initial attempts, we had the guy who activated druushk leave the raid, then had all our statue clickers leave the raid and get reinvited. This consistently caused them to not be engaged when Druushk was pulled.

Not that it works anymore...

Although this statement is fairly true. We spent a good 2 days on druushk pre-mythical and killed him the "right" way while other guilds decided to exploit him and move on. Granted, the statue dble-up thing still exsisted and did make the fight a bit easier pre-mythical. However, I feel even in his current state he can be taken down without mythicals it is just one hard fucking fight that isnt worth the loot he drops.

The main problem with the Druushk is that it is so fucked up, it makes honest people WANT TO EXPLOIT IT just to get past it.

As it stands now, the Druushk encounter is like placing $10,000 on the sidewalk and expecting nobody to try and steal it. It makes honest people to want to do things they'd never do otherwise.

My guild hasn't attempted to exploit this encounter, and we beat Nexona straight up with no mythicals. But I'm telling you as an honest person, when my mind starts going into survival mode and brainstorming ways to cheat, there is something very very wrong with that encounter, since I'd never have those thoughts to begin with if I felt it was possible to win legitimately.

I agree, it makes honest people think of ways to cheat. But in the end it takes a lot of guild character to overcome that urge and to spend so much time on Druushk and beat him the right way even though we were fully aware of the exploit and we could get it down in 10min. That kill felt far better than ww1st any mythical because we know we fucking pwned that bitch correctly while most every other guild took the easy way out. Grats to them and their exploiting guild especially and primarly because he was beatable without mythicals in that state.
