With the latest update in Throne and Liberty, the option to sign up for random cooperative dungeons and master them with unknown teammates for extra loot was introduced. However, some players are exploiting the system to their advantage.
What annoys the players? The random cooperative dungeon search in Throne and Liberty was supposed to benefit new players who have not joined any guild or group, allowing them to quickly fill a team for a dungeon. However, the system is currently being misused.
As it can be challenging to master random dungeons with scattered teams in MMORPGs, players receive special buffs in the mentioned dungeon that strengthen the team, as well as additional loot in the boss chest as an incentive.
However, when entering the queue, players are shown which random dungeon has been selected by the game, and if they leave this, they do not receive a penalty. Many players use the new feature to their advantage, which annoys others.

The Battle for the Dimensional Essence
What do you get from the random dungeon search? By participating in the random cooperative dungeon search, you not only receive a regular boss chest with the usual rewards but also a “Random Player Search Rewards” chest that contains special loot.
On one hand, it contains the “Dimensional Soul Shard Selection Chest.” From this selection chest, you can secure another soul shard of your choice. On the other hand, the special chest also gives you a seven percent chance to draw a rare Dimensional Essence: Redemption from the chest. However, the “Random Player Search Rewards” chest is exclusively available when using the random search.
Since there is no penalty for leaving the queue, a player can repeatedly leave and re-enter the queue until they are shown their desired dungeon.
On Reddit, players complain that their queue is constantly being interrupted. However, there are also players who are happy about the loophole in the system:
- TCarneiro89 (via Reddit): “Why is everyone always leaving the queue, it’s so annoying!”
- lemstry supports a penalty (via Reddit): “People should receive a matchmaking penalty when they decline matches”
- FB-22 highlights it from both sides (via Reddit): “Yes, it’s nice for the person who gets to choose, but frustrating for everyone else when the window opens and closes 15 times in a row, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t how the developers intended for the random queue to be used.”
- mrtokeydragon got a taste for it (via Reddit): “I hadn’t noticed this until now. I guess I’ll start doing it too, why not, I think.”
- Sprint_ca sees the advantage (via Reddit): “It’s literally just annoying for 15 seconds, but ultimately gets a much faster group.”
The developers of Throne and Liberty could counter the problem by introducing a penalty for leaving the queue. However, this might lead players to avoid using the random search, resulting in incomplete groups once again.
One alternative solution would be that the dungeon is not displayed in the random search beforehand, so players wouldn’t know which dungeon is upcoming. This would prevent intentional queue breaks without penalties. However, there is a risk that players might leave the dungeon once they are inside and find out which one it is.
Whether the developers will adjust the system remains open, as there is currently no official information on this.
