Before posting tl;dr or disagreeing, please read all of this. and moose please dont remove it because it was posted with a low stat account. its a good, fair request. There are no pretty pictures, gifs, or color. But there is a solution to the pvp players not having items... Here we go Gold purchasable items. Make items that are purchasable/enchantable with gold. Make them a step above eb items and a step below EE items. Key points 1.The people who constantly osw in KaW are always left out. Never getting eb drops because they are constantly in osw. During short times of peace they get to chase items. This gives them the chance to obtain items without having to EE/EB for items. I feel the levels should be slightly above the levels granted from eb equipments based on the fact that ebs are mindless button mash-fests. The actual pvp aspect takes much more work to play the game. You have to search the target, spend pots hitting the target, track the target. And in osw it's never one single target. You have to do this to multiple accounts multiple times a day. And that isn't all that's involved. There is much more time consuming aspects of osw besides a simple "click monster pic, smash repeat attack". So I feel based on the work involved in having to earn your equips through buying them vs through eb warrants a slight increase in stats. Not much tho. If a top eb equips stat is 20m spy def then 21m spy def on the bought equip would be more, not much more though, which would leave little room to complain (although people would still complain of course, even if you gave free xtals and a Swedish massage, some people would still complain hehe) I think that EE's are a spectacle much as the roman gladiators were. Or the nfl. The equips gained from that should be higher than the bought equipment based on that theory. This is a win win for every category of player. The eb players can still buy the equipment. The EE players already have better equipment so would have no reason to complain. And the osw'rs don't get left behind as they have been since the time equipments were first released. I can't really see an "exploit" to this. I can squash most arguments against it. But the eb players will be able to buy the equipment first. They have all that gold from eb's Answer: yea they have all the gold from ebs. Guess what. They also have equips you won't get unless you go eb for them. So let them buy them first. Just something you will have to give up in the short run to have EQUIPS WITHOUT HAVING TO EE/EB in the long run. Plus them eb warriors are going to be smacking skellies with em. So no loss to you, only a gain of EQUIPMENT ACCESSIBLE TO YOUR PLAYSTYLE. This equipment is more powerful than the equipment I got smacking a smelly and randomly got. Answer: use some of that gold you also got from smacking skelly and buy the better equips. Duh Top LB players will be able to buy it immediately and not have to save to get it. Answer: you couldn't hit them in the first place. And if you could, and can't afford to buy the equips quickly, then you probably couldn't have won against their bfa anyways. Buy the equips, become more powerful, and try again. People could just attack alt's all day and easily buy the equips. Answer: people could smack skellies all day and buy the equips. Could probably kill more arguments. But can't think of more arguments at the moment. No the idea doesn't reward pvp. It doesn't give you a new LB or a new hit count that counts hits on other players. No new achievements. Nothing spectacular. What it does do is gives the people who would rather hit other kingdoms in an unsanctioned pvp setting the opportunity to have equips WITHOUT having to change their style of play to obtain them. Yea everybody can get the equips. The EE Gladiators can have them. the EB warriors can have them. and the People who dont want to eb, and dont want to EE, can have them. it doesnt force anyone to pvp for the items. but it gives pvp players a chance to earn equips without being forced to EE/EB. That's why I can't see any exploits to it. If you can please feel free to name them. Things to point out to devs: It is a money sink. Takes money out of the market curbing inflation. Pvp players also spend money on KaW. You may see increased nob sales as they buy gold to spend on new equips? It also makes a group, who is dedicated to your game, happy. Pvp players have been left out for too long. Either forced to EE/EB to earn equips or do without and become less powerful than someone who doesn't even know what tracking means. Remove the shackles of neglect dear developers. Embrace a large part of your KaWmunity with an update that has been ignored for too long. If any players want to take this idea, refine it, and run it back by forums in fashion please feel free. No need to credit me. Lets just get this done so everyone can have equips and not be forced to EE/eb
Buying xstals is better than buying nobs unless you make less on unload on xstal then nobs. For example, I have 15 HL and I only get 1b per 15 nobs.
