The most active ppl reap the rewards. With event after event ppl believe enchants should keep pace r wanting something fast while doing less n less. Patience n no more handouts for those without it. As if EQ n rewards is not enough from events.
Towards telling me you've "played a long time" and to "pay my dues," I think that's ironic given both what I typed about myself two posts ago, as well as just generally who you're talking to. As for seeing the argument for higher element (aqua/inferno drops), what do hansels making better gold vs pure attack builds have to do with anything? PvP is a giant resource drain so we'll have to agree to disagree there. Are you suggesting that higher aqua/inferno drops should only payout in larger amounts for more attack-oriented builds to hate-out spy builds?
On your first sentence, specifically towards individual epic battles, that's not true at all. If you're talking about participation in events, isn't one of the complaints that too much "strictly better" equipment is coming out too fast, with ever-increasing upgrade costs? I think part of what people want is a break from better equipment (that they'd be obligated to upgrade, making obsolete their old equipment) and better returns on upgrading what they have, assuming I read through correctly. Towards the community being and/or sounding entitled, they do that from time to time. Given the wave of non-sarcastic support towards increasing the drop rates on some measure, I'm slightly inclined to side with their arguments.
I remember when the EE's were introduced along with the new overpowered equip,the mith drops were small and the fails kept happening.This resulted in a similar thread as this on which was flooded with cries for a fix,the same is happening now with the new equip the cost of enchanting has gotten rediculously high with the fail rate getting worse along with the reset rate.It's time for a adjustment or two to have a level playing field.
Yes more war opportunities n less EB events so all these EQ can be used with more variety. OSW PvP EE r far behind EB's.
Perhaps structured PvP is a free lunch. Last I played structured PvP, you had to have potion stocks on both attack and defense, encouraged to use mithril buffs, and you had to give up sleep and life commitments for a straight up loss in gold, mithril, and crystals, for maybe the chance at equipment/achievments, but most of the time just bragging rights. (On the other hand) Non-structured PvP is definitely not better for plunder in most cases.
I have a fairly solid BFA but that doesn't mean I want to ignore BFE. And what about AQUA? Can't buy that with gold. I'm not sure what you're trying to get at with 'easy street'? BFE is soooo easy to come by? Maybe getting equip isn't so hard these days with the promos and what not. But enchanting them can actually be quite difficult. I don't think anyone is requesting that the devs hand out thousands of aqua and inferno. But the system can be adjusted slightly to allow for a higher needed for the Mage.
Again, you'll find that most people don't want just hand outs. No one here is really asking for handouts from what I see. I'm happy to hit ebs and wait for some aqua and inferno drops. But that doesn't mean the current system doesn't need an update. It's not about doing less or wanting more for less. Equip and demand for aqua and inferno has changed and the Mage is working on when there was less equip and less needed for aqua and inferno. It doesn't have to be a 100% success rate. That would be too easy. But a little tweak on success rate or even the levels of equip wouldn't be so bad.
What about Aqua? This thread is about inferno drops. As for the Mage eb's dropped less inferno back then and more eb's came out n also more inferno was dropped eg have the eb EQ already n get bonus drops.. Only 3 inferno was possible but was increased after that addition. No events were around for inferno rewards either. Chronology n facts. So once again ppl never can get enough. FYI more events r coming.
Yes. And my point has been all along that if something changes with the Mage, it affects both aqua and inferno. It makes sense that if you change something for one, you change with the other. Especially considering equip requires both. Most does, anyway. Oh and btw, this thread isn't about BFA or PvP either
Yes people are always going to want more, obviously. But there's also an issue of finding the right balance. Yes, inferno and aqua only used to drop in 3's. Yes, more ebs came out that dropped more aqua and inferno. Yes, now we can get drops of 9 from some ebs. But when these drops were increased, when there were new ebs added, there was not the amount of equipment in the game that there is right now. Right now there is more equip than ever before (I'm aware not everyone has participated in events). I'm not asking for a free hand out. I'm not asking for a 100% success rate. And you'll find most people aren't. But the Mage could do with a few tweaks here and there to help with demand.
What is a reasonable amount of time to fully enchant big EQ from a 2 week event? A reminder mith EQ won/bought is also an option. Also event rewards r used for what? TIP: EE increases drop rate.
Can't put a time frame on it. But it's clear there's going to be frequent events, all dropping equip. We don't have the time NOR the means to max them. Like I've said several times, I'm not looking for a handout. Just thinking a tweak to a system that hasn't changed since it was introduced. Not everyone is able to war. The Mage is something accessible to all eventually. I know EE is too, but not everyone has the time to war. I wouldn't mind trying an EE but times don't suit me.
Cuz events r frequent ppl expect to max out enchants as fast? Yes its sad war times do not accommodate many ppl.
I think people expect more than just the top players to be able to max out the current level of equipment (and get some use out of it), before needing to upgrade a new set. I easily could be wrong though.
