Might be time to increase rewards from HC Deadmines

Just something that popped up in my head today when VP capping my alt.

I know no devs are working on Cata, atleast until the “implement” button for Dragon Soul is pressed. But even though I’m probably speaking for deaf ears, I just had a Deadmines Inferno take slightly over an hour with a not so good group. Not necessarily bad players, just lack of gear and experience with the mechanics. After that, I also had a decent group in Tol’vir, not heroic raiders but still players that could step up and do some numbers. That run took 13 minutes.

So basically, you can clear Tol’vir roughly 5 times in the time it takes to complete 1 Deadmines. And yet they give the same amount of Valor points. The only pro of Deadmines is a few more Fragments, which are not that useful to most players nowadays anyway.

I think it’s time to give Deadmines the Oculus treatment. Give us a bag with an extra 240 VP after killing Vanessa, or something similar. That’d probably make it a bit less painful, and have bit fewer people moan and/or quit immediately when seeing the Deadmines loading screen.

The first normal heroic each day provides also 240VP, so if you are not spamming dungeons on the same character, why do you even bother to go inferno if you don’t need fragments? The most main characters should be done with all the valor items by now anyway and alts usually need fragments anyway. So yes, Valor wise DM is a bad option (and I jhad some pretty terrible groups there too, that dungeon costs a lot of nerves), and Tol’vir is the fastest one because of the many “skip routes” people found. But you will never have all dungeons the same time/reward ratio.

Still, I would not complain IF dm would get the oculus-reward, but as you noticed yourself, the only dev assigned for cata classic at this moment is the intern’s dog so I am pretty sure there will be nothing hapening. The new dragon-soul pre-dungeons will come soon anyway.

I have everything for my mainspecs, but not my offspecs. Pretty much all of my characters benefit from having raid ready offspecs and/or different gear sets.
