A) Just because somebody disagrees with you does not mean they are a flamer.
B) You edited in and added the "Glint's Challenge question" after I had made my original post (so of course I couldn't answer then).
I do however have an answer.
All challenge missions have an unclaimed item box. They are programmed that way. Glint's challenge is different from other challenge missions in that it has an "end." All other challenge missions end when your team wipes. There is no way to "beat them." That is why unclaimed item boxes exist in challenge missions. A.net never bothered to change Glint's Challenge (since it is set up to run like any other challenge mission) and design it more like a mission area.

That makes sense. I never really play challenge missions so I wouldn't have known that. Thanks for the info.

B the point that people were making for not signing was because they think no one deserve their drop when they die or get wiped so it matters not if you finish the mission. "That is why unclaimed item boxes exist in challenge missions. " so yes you got wiped because you can't hold the waves of monsters anymore and you managed to kill some right before you died how's that different from killing by the riders on chaos plane right after your ecto dropped? according to the "you need to be alive to pick up your drops", why should there be the unclaimed item box?
|
Because, as I said, in every other challenge mission, you are supposed to fail.
You can not succeed. Thus you get an unclaimed item box because even if you "fail" you might have done extremely well.

But if you did extremely poorly, it is unlikely you killed many monsters to get anything (oh no, I missed out on my chance to pick up an 15g augmented flesh).

Suck less, it's "just PvE," there should be no problem.

If you're not good enough to stay alive to kill the foes, I see no reason that Anet should just hand your items to you. If things start going south, run and pick it up or risk losing it.
Allowing drops if you failed the mission is too abuseable. And I have read and I agree with Genofreek, I don't know why Glint's is different, but I think the same rules should apply.

Yes, but you fail to realize that this is a game, which is not actually "life". Its all cyberspace, so it CAN be fair. Besides in a lot of areas you can respawn after you die, claiming the item after.
Yes glints is different, but... using your logic... lifes unfair....
EDIT: lol i forgot yes it is a challenge mission, and they are all liek that ty Hawk of Storms. Also a lot of this thread isn't really being flamed, its just heavily disagreed upon but some people. just accept our opinions.

Only challenges have claimed items boxes upon losing, but that's part of their mechanic. Glint's challenge it's a bit different, but it's still a challenge... although it behaviour it's more like a Dungeon, though.

Whether you want to admit it, it is an extension of real life. You play the game in your real life time. Cyberspace or not, not everything can be fair for everybody.
So, that's life. Unfair things happen.
