    Yeah you said it better than I did...it seemed to work better early on (back when I was SO CONFUSED) and then contracts got really time consuming. Now it seems to be back to more passive which I'm thankful for.

    There. I said something NICE.

    I'm with everybody else. I don't want to troll some poor mid ego who is just trying to complete his daily, so I tag and go.
    Oh and the word you're looking for is Leeching, just trying to help.

    I'm a mid ego player so i like to do contracts fast, preferably alone or with clan mates, but if a bunch of players rolls in and raises the threat lvl to 10 i just leave, no point in bashing my head against a threat lvl 10 wall just for a daily contract. Figured it will be faster for both me and the newly arrived players if the threat lvl is lower.

    You are correct. TL10 doubles the time it takes to run through it if there are only 3 people or less. So you are doing the right thing.

    Yes this. :-)

    But back to the OP. It is a little Tricky . This is part of the new better faster game style. The point is no longer completion of an objective but how to maximize score & rewards and move on. It's how the new game is designed

    Sometimes players get there late, you know. It's not all a conspiracy to steal your stuff.

    There's also roadside events and quests that can cross your area.

    There's also 5K(ish) players levelling their BMGs who jack the area up to TL10 and watch all the noobs get eaten by carnivorous bullet sponges.

    And then there's also people who show up to leech... But I've only ever actually run into one of those. Got him killed, BTW.

    Nope, they may have just gone by and helped you with one mob, they may be doing something else around the corner. The scaling system is actually a decent concept, it's just not terribly well executed.

    Heh,

    It wasn't that long ago I was cursing whenever the threat level went up.

    Now, I have to remind myself that it's ME raising it!
