How to fix kingsmarch FOMO (making it optional)

Make it conditional. Just like chasing maven or the other eldritch. Make it profitable, but disable any altars and boss progression. Remove the idle component and make it that the timer is only running when you are mapping. Keep the gold, but remove the ores unless you actually spec into it.

That way, if you want to go the kingsmarch gameplay, you dont have access to map progression. Lore wise, why would a bunch of traders care about chasing the big bosses anyway.

Read the patch notes...

patch doesnt fix it. It's still free currency and you get behind every body if you dont use it. It's still promoting fomo.

What you can do to make it even better to appease both type of player, make the timer extra long, but make it so that completing a map reduces it. That way, you can go away for hours and still come back to get your loot, but if you are an active player, you can reduce that timer while mapping and still profit in the end.

It makes it more interactive of a simple start and forget.

they need to make it so u need to be close to ore deposit to get the ore, this prevents those greedy scums with 1 main char and 5 idle accounts sitting at portal all getting ore. furthermore, they need to decrease the reward from 50M shipments, so without a dedicated atlas setup u cant realistically get mirrors. this way people can grind for mirrors, but it's gonna take a lot of time and only doable with targeted dedicated farming on ores.

right now people are running any farming strat then spend the gold on crops shipment, i.e. they are getting mirrors for free. but if u need to target farm ores to get mirrors and can't run other farming strat simultaneously, its no longer free and the same as any other type of farming. this is the fair way to do kingsmarch, mirrors are farmable slowly with time, but they are no longer free. basically, if u play for X hours, u get 1 mirror guaranteed, but u must play for X hours and cant get the mirror passively.
