Gear prices what are your views on it?

[Hardlight]

We've got this all in the back of our minds. Do you feel there is a needed change? discus.

s4 - perfect
s3 should be all honor
I know t6 is with badges but some of the most important stuff must be free like Torch of the damned, the t6 sword.Starter gear warriors have no decent weap instead of stormherald.

[Peekaboo]

Regardless what will be done in that regard, people will still complain about S4 people.
However, I wouldn't recommend to let people get too many items without any effort at all, as ridiculous as it sounds, it's the grind which makes most people play this game.
It would help the population if people just stay because they had to put some effort into gaining S3, so put a nice honor pricetag on those imo...
This however, needs some serious fixing for unbalanced teams in BGs, as the Horde has an easier time because of their numbers, and in the longrun it probably widens the gap even more.

Nothing wrong to increase badge prices aswell... just to give people an incentive to actually vote (and maybe even PvE more).

S3 shoulders and chest should be added to the vendor again but offered to be bought for maybe a bit more honour than the other pieces. Same for the weapons.

Season 4 - I don't mind the prices .. but when do we get the arena points? If it's only once a week, they should be lowered. I did a 10-0 set of games, (vs all NON donors thank Jesus!) and only got 336 arena points, and most of the items cost 1500 arena points.

Why do people complain about Season 4?
If you donors haven't noticed, to recieve season 4 you have to win arena's. No matter what you say, two s4 players are going to beat two s2 players; whether is based purely on skill, or the fact that a season 4 can outlast season 2 with no problem (mana regen especially).
Also, even if you do recieve the required amount of arena points to buy the item, you still need like a personal AND team rating of like 1750+. How the F*@#$ are you going to do that when you are against teams of full gear? It's literally impossible, and for those who don't agree, make a full season 2 resto druid, and see how fast a full season 4 warrior or rogue eats your ass.
I'm sick of the donors saying "oh you suck and don't have skill" or "l2p" .. i can understand if you're losing with the same gear, but two season difference is just unfair, and is very unlikely unless you are playing your counter.

Season 3 - Make all items Head, Neck, Shoulders, Cape, Chest, Wristband, Hands, Waistband, Leggings, Feet, Rings, and Trinkets all available through HONOR.
Not only does it give us something to look forward to working for, it keeps the bg's running and it will give us a better chance to win arena's against full season 4 donors.

Yea, I'm sure people are going to post "shut up you suck" or "stop complaining" but it really is annoying when you honestly can't earn the gear and the donors are just running in circles proud they beat season 2 players as if they were the best arena team eu.

The only other thing I would change is probably starter weapons. The items that cost BoJ's should just cost gold, so we have something better than season 2 weapons.

I can't wait to see replies to my post ... :D

I agree

S4 price is perfect, but I agree, s3 should be honor.

Why do you have the shoulders so low rating when you KNOW that shoulders have ALWAYS been the status symbol. They should be the highest rating req along with weapons. Main hand and offhand weapon should have the same rating req, only different cost.

You're still making brutal way too easy to get, completely killing any value it has for the people who actually played to the rating.

[ZatYo]

How should he know about the shoulders? He's clueless.
I'm writing the same thing in third topic now jesus.. I had vglad,mglad and glad titles as nondonor characters.There's nothing impossible ffs.
Also if you totally ruin everything and make brutal with the rates this kid wants, what about nondonors that have acquired s4 gear? The efforts they have put will all be in vein cause every second irani kid will have s4 shoulders lol.. they can just wintrade 3v3 for 2 hours and they are done.That will reduce the competition, reduce the number of people donating for the server(like drastically), and I'll prolly quit.

About arena points they should be flushed every second day like before, no idea why they are weekly now and im sure Hen will fix it.
