🗂️ 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:

  1. You receive a gift box instead of real dungeon rewards.

  2. You get no materials unless you're one of the Top 3 damage dealers out of the 6-person party.

  3. 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.
