[2019] Next Monday: Take on Telos at 4k enrage in practice mode (if you dare).

I understand the generosity, but this is a terrible addition. It's not ideal, it's not pragmatic, and it's almost a giveaway. The only people who should experience Telos at 4k are people wo can actually get that far. This just isn't an ideal change. It's not like we let people walk around with a trim comp cape for a while so they can see what it feels like, or walk around with Full Kethsi (pre-motherlode maw). We don't let people try to solo Vorago or solo Raids or advance to the last part of a quest just to practice.

Again, I get that it's meant to be a kind gesture, thank you for that - but this is unideal and gross. Why not make changes that are actually pragmatic and impact people who are actually experiencing this extent of content. Like this makes sense to do if someone has gotten to 4k and died, but it's not ideal for someone who hasn't gotten there.. sigh

This is an awesome addition! Now is this just for telos? Or will this work at rax as well?

It's a nice gesture but it's the sheer concept of letting people try something that they haven't gotten to. It's literally like letting people go into practice mode and try out the Vanstrom fight before even having started the Myreque series. It'd be a great idea if this were given to players who actually had reached 4k and lived or died, but letting just anyone jump in any experience 4k at any point is just a lot.

The best way I can phrase it is this. We all know how Kags has his insane streak with Shattered Worlds. Does it seem right to make it so any player who has never touched shattered worlds to reach the highest world he's gotten to? Like, why would that be a thing lol. What's the point of him climbing to get that far if people can take a helicopter to the top of the mountain and experience what he bled to get to.

It's a great gesture but I can't get behind it in this form. Maybe if it were an unlock of some sort.
