I have been doing pug runs since the start of the expansion and rarely do I see people leave the map after dying or any other reason at all.
My sample size in Mausoleum 3 & 4 runs is too low but based on the runs I have done it's no problem to finish both floors.
It might take a bit longer but I don't mind as I'm loving the expansion. Vroom says they expect a higher quality of pugs and once again they are right, pugs are alot better these days.
Or when OP players get overly frustrated by weaker players wanting to play too just quit and leave the map. I'm guilty of leaving when people are not spending the appropriate anks or it's just taking too long to kill.
IGN: Kakashi <Deviant Misfits> - We run PVE!
Unfortunately things do not really work like that. Pugs a re full full of players with stats from 2 expansions ago going full lepre and no pots/ankhs.
I find it funny to sometimes just stop attacking for 4-5 minutes and see people getting stuck not being able to kill any mobs, when you have the healing orbs. Sometimes they leave the map, sometimes they start insulting one another.
I sincerely suggest you try playing the game. You might be surprised.
Well you must be very lucky then lol. Because pug runs are full of those type of people who leave all the time. When I used to run graveyard random I would have to remap 5-10 times before I even start the runs because of peoples low stats and bad pets. Only time random runs have ever been good for me is when you get other players from top pve guilds who know what they are doing. I don't even run random graveyard anymore because I'm at 89.6k points with stage 4 requirements I have plenty of time doing maus 1-4 to reach 110K.I have been doing pug runs since the start of the expansion and rarely do I see people leave the map after dying or any other reason at all.

@ Terminhater, Kakashis, Jazzi I agree 100%! I have not done random maus 1-4 and never plan on to because I know it's going to be nothing but a waste of time and ankhs. I have done 1 friend pt maus 1-4 run because a old friend asked and that went okay but 99.9% time it's guild runs.

Ive been doing pugs too and so far have not had too many problems with too many people leaving or even being overly slow. Its good to have one other good player, but even if that is not so, the rest make good fodderthough yes, if everyone is free rezzing, I also adopt that method for that pug.
Star light, star bright...

It's known among the forums that I have a sorcerer that plays in pugsUnfortunately things do not really work like that. Pugs a re full full of players with stats from 2 expansions ago going full lepre and no pots/ankhs.

couldn't agree more... some warrior / rogues pugs using lep to kill in map 3/4 ... they aint doing enough damage to begin with in "elite" map encounter them many times... they just stand behind and shoot arrows taking it easy while the sorcerer have to drop a time shift to stop the mobs from rushing in ... i died many times of course with curse and AIM shot mobs.

I've met a mixture of both, but have noticed I'm more likely to meet up with lepre-like stats on easier content, and funneled to certain areas (I do expect Graveyard to be like this). That's why I've mentioned that I expect deeper Mausoleum to have better geared PUG players, because the harder content isn't worth them trying when they aren't contributing. Similar to what Jazzi and Kakashis mentioned, many players won't stay long in zones that aren't working out, so when Mausoleum 3 and 4 are rarely working out, these players are more likely to be in Graveyard.
I wish you gonna join and visit few Guilds haha. Funny things happen sometimes inside

I am currently in a guild! I don't want to be a guild hopper though, or else no one will want me! (This is my secret account so I can't just say "I'm a dev let me in" haha)I wish you gonna join and visit few Guilds haha. Funny things happen sometimes inside
Make sure to visit some endgame PvP guilds though!you won't regret.
I wonder how many pms vroom got about : egg sir, gold sir, item sir and like that hahahaha rip them
Thats actually really great news, please dont refrain from giving yourself points if you dont have the time to farm them to reach the higher stages of mausoleum so you can see how pugs are at the higher stages and whether your theory hopefully holds true.
Just getting a new trend there: a afk style from the start he/she jump to the map.
Goodluck everyone

Is it practical to restrict the direct access to a people who doesn't have several hours to play this game?
Its already a hard grind to unlock those maps and now I am forced to run lower level map to gain access to the higher one doesn't seem practical to me.
I want freedom. I don't like to be forced to do the things I don't want.
It should be fun. As for me I have sometime 5 to 10 min not entire hours to play the game.
Too many restrictions to enjoy this expansion content TBH.
RIP order set. Rip banished set .
Sorry if I sound rude but I m just trying to tell what I felt on this expansion.
I prefer to be able to go to the map directly especially 1-2 / 3-4 / 4-5 etc... this will give us less problem running with puns who either leech or don't deal any damage just want to loot good things from people willing to rush and kill (full gear).
I dont consider this even moaning, it is just more effective and efficient to get more pve kills and loot rather than running one whole cycle again to get to new or end stages with flexibility to choose.

I like the fact that you have to start the mausoleum runs from the start .... if you could jump straight to 3 then you will get a heap more low stat randoms in those levels, which makes running with randoms (dont like the term "pug") if your guildies and friends are offline even harder?
You tend to find the harder core, better geared, players in three and four as it takes more time to get there ..... open up direct access to three and it would be extremely hard to run without friends ....
Imma resort to sniping runs made by guildies and friends.
Stalker much XD
You want mana? Here have a BANANA
