    There are far too many people making low level mules for APQ, and this is what it has come down to:
    • A party for APQ requires at least one attacker ideally around level 130 to kill the geist balrog. With the number of mules showing up lately, party comps often consist of 5 mules one attacker. If that one attacker disconnects, (or dies), that run is dead.
    • Additionally, with such a low requirement, it's more difficult to form parties especially when people with ONLY mules and NO attackers/mage ults make 6 level 40 characters and always expect to be carried on every run. It's even worse when they afk throughout the run cause they cannot do anything.
    • With the number of mules, prices of apples is tanking hard. Players that actually use apples are the ones doing mid-endgame bossing. and the number of mules getting apples per run greatly exceeds the number of apples used in bossing content. Which is why there is an oversupply in apples in the market.
    Personally, I'd like the level requirement to be at 120. but reasonably, 80-90 should be a good number. Here's why:
    • At level 80, you should be able to deal minimal damage to the boss and survive 1-2 hits of the boss's attacks. I've seen few level 40-45 mules (including myself) die in almost 1 shot (especially un-hp-washed characters). Also you will have some SP set by then to not only contribute in the pq at all stages of the pq, but have an easier and faster time collecting keys as well.
    • Given the amount of time given for an APQ run, 6 level 80-90 characters should be able to kill the boss. Which makes it less dependent on having a level 130 attacker in the party
    • You could argue that this would be a disadvantage for lower level players, especially for newer players. However, I deem that with the addition of this level requirement for APQ, it can serve as another motivation (with speculated increase in apple prices), a leveling milestone for players to achieve. .
