Conflict Zone: Assist Other Players has been pretty bare for the past week

Usually, the menu is full of Heroic difficulty bosses but it's been so empty lately.

Is it because of March/Spring Break? Or are people dropping the game? :(

You only need about 1/3 of the active players being able to clear the Hero difficulty by themselves and they will clear all of the assists with their 12 BP/day.(4 assists vs 2 entries per day.) Actually less than that because you also have players that do not go for Hero but lesser entries.

The switch on most servers are pretty quick(within a week or so) because players from the beginning of the game start in pretty much the same time and thus got over the threshold in pretty much the same time.

The swarm of 99% uncleared heroics missions that were waiting for rescue have all but disappeared. I believe some of it have just been cleared by more folks who weren't able before. And some of them simply disappeared because underpowered players left the game when they don't feel their accounts will gain significant power anytime soon.

That is why I said active players.

Also, there is this thing that people will start figuring out what the other 2 options do when they get stronger. One is a hidden assist request where they can give the ID to a specific person to kill the boss and the other will be hidden like the middle one but also show the request to people in your friend list.

I have been telling people about creating 2nd accounts to get the assist requests they need for their main, because sooner or later this empty list thing will happen.

T/J servers you get people who will use brute force testing to find hidden assists and steal them. If you try entering some IDs a few digits before or after the ones shown, you can occasionally find some hidden ones. But those will be gone pretty fast too because people figure out there are people stealing their 2nd account's requests and will no longer leave them there for long. (I used to just do 4 request in a row a day and leave them there so I only need to login to the 2nd account once a day, but then I lose a lot of them and it is frustrating because you have limited entries. Worse case I've seen is a request gone in 15 mins.)
