I always ask if the want to kill the boss or just remake. Depending on the answer I will act. Also I've had a lot of groups that can kill him fast and others that take 5 min and a lot of deaths.

I totally agree. It only takes a little extra time, so I dont see the point in skipping him when you get a chance at pinks.

The problem is for most people the rewards don't justify the time to kill the boss.
A couple ways they could fix this..
1) Reward a lot more exp for killing boss mobs, make it so the exp rewarded is about the same as you would get killing trash mobs for the same average time period. I know they upped the exp rate on bosses..but doesn't seem to be nearly enough... I want to see my exp bar jump on harder bosses
2) Up the drop rates.. I am 54 right now and have yet to get a pink drop. IMO the drop rates are way too low...throw us a carrot here!
Yes the drop rate is lower than VL. But they do drop..I've gotten two pinks from him and have seen others get pinks as well. People who skip him are never going to see a pink drop, of course. I'd rather have a chance at a pink than 30 seconds of additional xp grinding.
I do think the xp reward needs to be increased, and I've suggested that in the suggestions forum. Ive noticed that breaking his chests rewards xp also, but I think if it was a significant amount people wouldnt leave. Same for Crush the Keeper too.
Maybe they could also do something to make Hideout more difficult. When I first got BS, everyone was doing Catacombs. Now it's all about the Hideout because you'll die less there. The fire aoe goblins in Catacombs are a pain and the other maps have a ton of grates. I think that's why people don't do them as often. I'd like if they were all a similar difficulty, but in different ways. Variety is nice.
So they should increase boss xp and/or increase the difficulty in Hideout. Otherwise I foresee a dark future of "pls powerlvl me in hideout" threads.

I completely agree with increasing the exp (even more) from the BS bosses.

I don't see why people choose to skip bosses for the reason they could get more XP by killing mobs in another run. Are people really in that much of a rush to hit 55/56? So you hit 56 and then decide to farm pinks since there's nothing else to do. Guess what? All that XP from the mobs along the way is now wasted.
Goldfever usually takes 30 seconds in a good party, and on 3x XP that's about 18-21 XP 5 goldfever runs = 150 seconds for 90-105 XP. Sounds pretty nice if you think of it this way, and 5 shots at pinks.

Lets make a thread about it.
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic lol
I was just in a group that would kill goldfever, fast enough that we were still potted by the end. Saw a few more pinks. Thanks to all who were in that group

Agreed wholeheartedly, and thank you for joining - I think one of the pinks you saw were mine I didn't get my first pink until 55 but I have seen 3 since, and two were from gold fever! I am only 4k into 56 so I was extremely lucky and happy that there are players that will still hang in through boss. I typically will do what group wants but lately most just want to grind. So if you're ever ig and see me on, definitely invite and I will join if available.
Yeah Kallima the very first game I joined of yours you got a pink lol. Well I need to get my mage to 55 now, so add Silvanya!
