R.A.B.B. Entry #089 — Dungeon Run Rationing Protocol
🗂️ R.A.B.B. Entry #089 — Dungeon Run Rationing Protocol
Category: 🕳️ Artificial Limitations & Player Exploitation
Target: Ragnarok X (ROX)
Incident: Daily Dungeon Limits, Damage-Gated Loot, Fake Helper System
📜 Offense Summary:
Ragnarok X limits players to 3 dungeon runs per day that actually count toward progression. After that, players are allowed to "help others" in dungeon runs—but with critical penalties:
You receive a gift box instead of real dungeon rewards.
You get no materials unless you're one of the Top 3 damage dealers out of the 6-person party.
If you're support, tanky, late to the kill, or just not a goddamn boss blender?
→ You get nothing. Not even crafting materials.
🔥 R.A.B.B. Violations:
| Mechanic | Why It’s Bullshit |
|---|---|
| 3-run cap | Hard-stops progress for free players; limits gear/material income |
| “Helper” bait | Makes you think you’re still contributing—but gives trash boxes |
| Top 3 DPS loot gate | Punishes non-meta builds, low-end players, and support roles |
| Material farming throttled | If you’re not farming within your 3 runs—or top 3 DPS—you lose mats |
| No transparency | Game doesn’t clearly explain how helpers are actually punished behind the scenes |
🧠 What ROX Wants You to Think:
“You can help friends all day and still get rewards!”
🔍 What’s Actually Happening:
“If you're not top 3 in damage, your reward is dust.
You're burning time, potion cost, and stamina for zero gain.”

🐀 Final Commentary:
“Only the Top 3 eat.
The rest? Clap, collect your pity box, and try again tomorrow.”
Suggestion?
✅ Do your 3 runs.
❌ Ignore “helper” bait unless you plan to outdamage whales with attitude problems.
Support classes?
Casual builds?
You don’t get thanked.
You get throttled.
