AV marks, and world random drops.

Post by Graendithas »

Hello there. I've been making tickets for a long time now regarding this issue and it seems that no action has been taken. Since we have only a maximum of 2 AV ques per day it takes a very long time to get the marks required for 1 piece of an OLD pvp set. For that reason I am suggesting either :

- adding a mark exchanger NPC (that has a higher demand of the other marks ex : for 1 AV mark like a 1:5 ratio)
- change the currency requirement for those old sets
- extend AV que times

I don't know what you guys have been deciding after the polling or where are those polling results; I cannot find them. However the current situation is as bad as it was before. Why would people do AV if they have no satisfaction after finishing that long-lasting bg? The OLD items are unreachable with the current gain of marks (unless you're addicted as fuck), the honor gain is much higher by doing WSGs and trading the marks for the dailies. The HK farm is sometimes non existent since the alliance can stomp their way to the boss, and also because sometimes there are too few players joining the BG. Right now I am writing this ticket while being in que for 18 minutes and 2 seconds.

PLEASE. Take some action regarding this issue.

The other reason for why I am making this post is the very low world drop chance of green items. In my opinion the drop chance should be increased because it is a fun/arena/pvp server. Long story short: I like having rare swag on my characters, but I do not like farming 16 hours for 4 pieces of equipment (mostly because I must also vote for your good rankings and statistics to get transmog tokens).

I am a donator and I support the server, I am not a hater, I am not a pro player. I just want to see the staff being more active and responsive to matters that truly need attention.

P.S. : fix the drinking while casting glitch.

Thank you.

That's the point, it would be abnormal to easily get hw/gm items.

Things you need to be satisfied aren't what others need to be satisfied.
If you want to get high rewards for everything you do in a game, I can only suggest you to stop games because you'll always be "frustrated" this way.

I will not disagree if they take the decision to raise BoJs' number as a reward for the 10x AV marks quest but it'd be stupid to reduce hw/gm costs.

It has been discussed over and over. World drop chance of green items isn't very low, at the contrary it looks pretty accurate. Many guys lazy to farm are donating a lot to get sets they're looking for, you can do it too.

Btw, I have got 4 gbanks to sell (60-80% full), well ordered, of BoE items. If you're interested you can poke me.
ah

I suggested one of those fixes ("either") not all off them simultaneously.
I do not expect to get highly rewarded for everything that I do, I want my playtime to matter.
I have been a gamer since my 10s and I won't quit any time soon.
As I said, I have been farming for 16 hours to get 4 pieces of the overlord's set, I am not lazy.
Thanks for your offer but I will never trade with the likes of you.

Hi Graendithas,

I don't really want to see everyone running around with the same transmog set, do you?
Why not create transmog NPCs that give sets out for free?
It does not take very long to get the full Warlord / Field Marshal set.

Honorable kills. In my opinion, Alterac Valley should be removed completely.
Although, if too many people want to keep it, better add a second battleamaster beside the AV one so they can choose what to play.

Your argument is invalid.
This was farmed only by two people.

Just like Dntryme said, the drop rate of uncommon items is just OK, sold a few transmog banks already.

> Getting a full old pvp set + a 2 hander = 90 AV marks

>> 2 AV ques per day = 6 marks
*** condition = win them both < ally, k done

>>6 x 15 days = 90
*** condition being able to play in a time window of 60 minutes, while having a life and a college.

I already stated my opinion of the HK farm... but I guess some people join AV for that.
I find it difficult to farm alone, I haven't got anyone helping me so far except Sindris.

The only way I'm getting a decent amount of green items is by farming in blasted lands, doing entire camps and collecting quest items for a repeatable quest.
Anyway no point in discussing about that here... maybe the green items do not have such a low drop rate after all, I just have bad luck.

Thanks to all of you for the quick feedback. I hope to hear some future thoughts from the administration too...

@Apuclevercow, I am sorry mate, I have found your quick to judge mindset offensive as well xD

Try sl/sl warlock with voidwalker and 2/5 T5 for pet heals. You'll be able to solo every 60lvl dungeon with a small exception of General Drakkisath.
