Let's be honest. What's going on here is Partyplanner reset in 3 months and a few days last season with very few people playing.
This season mount olympus has an alchemist already and is threatening a reset again very soon. The problem is the amount of climbs 3 people are able to do constantly every single day. Some call it luck but it happens every season.
Another idea would be to give a higher objective like mirror maze more purpose. Maybe make group climbs 20% slower all around. If you complete mirror maze then remove the penalty and give another 20% bonus speed. This would incentivize people to do mirror mazes. If they don't they'll take another 10-15 minutes to do a whistle climb.
Partyplanner has told me that he used to play this game for like 48-72 hour sessions, was accused of botting, and Kevin made him agree to only play 12 hours a day and once a month he can do a 24 hour session.
Which to me is weird, he was either botting or he wasn't and if he wasn't he shouldn't be penalized.
But yeah, he's already got a handicap.
Also, I don't like the idea of having to complete a solo climb before you're allowed to group up. I'm new here, and I probably would not still be playing this if it hadn't been for partyplanner carrying me through 2-3 climbs back to back on like my 2nd day here. I would've probably tried to solo climb for a few days and walked away due to the difficulty in getting sufficient gear and the overall slow pace, but being in a group with the social interaction and also just seeing the way other people play the game - vs being alone, progressing slowly, clicking endlessly, and finding no gear.
e/ I guess my suggestion would be: If you succeed in resetting the ladder, for the next 2-3 seasons you start with all classes unlocked (or some kind of reward that carries into the next season or two), but you cannot reset the ladder again until after those 2-3 seasons are reset. Of course, they can still get the same GP rewards for each class' 1st pass. Buuut I guess the problem there is partyplanner/shadow/power would just alternate resetting the ladder, lol.
