I understand (actually I don't since there are like no teams over 1850 rating) that the mainset requires up to 2k rating to be obtainable.

But the offparts, what's the reasoning behind this? Why don't they require 1550-1750 like they did back in the days?

I'm really new to this server but I already had 2 friends who said they are not interested in playing here because it's not even remotely possible to get full brutal, even if they are old Gladiators from real wow, there's just no way to get the rating for stuff.

if you've ever heard of swag bucks, make an account and just search shit. Once yo u get around 480 pts you can buy a paypal online e-card, which can easily go towards getting s4. It's quite ez. Also, you can dl a tool bar that automatically does the searches for you...so you can leave ur PC on over night.

Iunno, this is what i used till i had a credit card. Got 3 donars out of it so :P have fun.

As for regard to s4 off pieces and obtaining them. S4 is to persuade players to do arena and strive for higher ratings. If we made it 1575, you'd see players just easily obtaining gear and stop playing. It would also make donations cease to offer much benefit, cause lets all be real here; most the people who donate don't actually do it for the goodness of there heart....they do it for the benefits.

All in all, just be glad henhouse chose to make s4 even obtainable.

The point was more leaning towards the fact that S4 gear from vendors are unreachable and it basically leads to players buying gear getting an unfair advantage over those who try to earn their keep.

I can understand that it should take some time to farm items if you don't want to pay for them, but making them boarderline unreachable is just teasing.

OP dude , this is a capitalistic server as I said once before , it is not the point to just get your brutal for nothing ... Dude who runs it is from the U.S. and they find themselves hardcore capitalists , so if you want shit for free get on a Chines or Cuban servers , they still run communism ... Donations are ok , but they could fix bugs a little with the all the money they get , that kinda sucks ..

It would be more fun for most players if they could get a cookie for their effort. I mean, even the s3 gear is way overpriced in my opinion.

S3...over priced....you're kidding right? And you want it to be like retail where s4 ratings requirements are drops BUT when we cut the price on S3 it's too much?

FYI S3 back in retail days would like 30k + a piece. And back then you didn't get 3k honour and a couple of badges...which can transfer into more honour to buy your 10k honour gear.

Highend gear wasnt designed to be obtained by every random . Shouldnt be much of a problem for glads to get their stuff .

No since you bareley get any points from 1800 onwards. It has nothing to do with skill and not being able to win games to get the rating, the rating isn't reachable because you get 4-5 pts a win from 1800.

Check the " Arena Stats " and you ll see how many teams were able to reach the required ratings .
