I think the new system is perfect, actually. The challenges were made easier, too, don't forget. I don't see any reason why someone who can't do x solo challenge should be allowed to get extra benefits by letting people carry them to finish harder Duo/Group ones... and I say that someone who got lucky to get into a great guild and had lots of good help... some people don't get lucky, and they need to be able to use the system to find random people. They can now do that with a lot better chance of success, which I think was the idea.
If you wanted to tweak it to make just getting to the last boss (rather than defeating him) unlocks the next level, fine, but I don't see that as being particularly necessary.
Ray himself said that that wasn't the issue. Being carried was not the problem and he had no issue with the community carrying others. Not sure how you read my post and misunderstood it. Ask anyone on chatzy or kong, I help anyone who has asked for help. So me being on the 'top of the food chain' is out of place, and has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
Your second paragraph is very contradictory. First you say that, " I don't see any reason why someone who can't do x solo challenge should be allowed to get extra benefits by letting people carry them to finish harder Duo/Group ones". Which to me means it's undeserved that they be carried when they shouldn't. Then you go on to say, "...some people don't get lucky, and they need to be able to use the system to find random people. They can now do that with a lot better chance of success..". So first they shouldn't be able to be carried but now they have better success, with random people who are...also going to carry them?!? Your argument makes little sense.
As for your last paragraph, that's also a decent idea to solve the issue at hand. While you may disagree that it isn't necessary, I would like to ask you how you expect the rest of the IOU community who has not reached 700 CP, to get there before 6 months has passed? To solo were rage, is an extremely difficult task. Others before the patch, were able to reach 700 CP when this system was not in place, by doing duo and group rage. But if you have a better solution, I am open to hearing it.
