Sure why not? Ironman mode is about playing single-player so having xp events, extra rewards, etc really doesn't matter as each individual ironman player can choose if they want to actually participate in the event.

Make each event an instance for each individual ironman like it is for most bosses now.

Also support to events
So to crash somebody I have to walk into a room, hit the boss once and neither of us get the loot. +1 for future toxicity with this plan.

Edit to comment on the actual topic of the post, Ironman mode is about being a singleplayer and adding difficulty to the game where it doesn't exist otherwise. This would partially negate that effect.

Forgot to mention that that would be removed if that were implemented.

If we can boss together we should be able to trade each other to split loots. And if we want to split loots we'll need to be able to use the GE. /s

This would just be making a new Eco for a small amount of players?

No way, guys without max couldn't keep up and couldn't grind money for better gear. It wouldn't be fair.

Looks like 2/3rd majority is in favor of allowing to participate in events, so I guess we can make that a reality.

I guess the only question that really remains then, is whether they should also be able to participate in +50%/double XP events: viewtopic.php?f=93&t=54233

Not happening, sorry. Ironman mode is still about doing everything on your own. Which means you cannot get any help from either regular players or other Ironman Mode players. Competing with other Ironman mode players is completely besides the point of the mode.

The /s in my reply is a shorthand for "sarcasm" and is used on Reddit, guess I should use Kappa as that's more clearly recognized.
