We should not add any new items for BoJ. Why?

Because some of us own thousands of BoJ's, while others just start collecting them.

Let's say we add some rare item sets (like aq) for hundreds of Bojs for each part. What happens then? People that have been playing here for a while can instantly get what they want, and new people are very discouraged from ever trying to buy it.

Imagine coming to a server were new gear costs over a thousand Boj's and you start with 3?
Oh, and don't forget, oldfags would immediatly cry again that they want something new.

I feel like we need to either revamp the economy (lots of work) or introduce something that no one has piled up in their bags.

Why not? Or what about your alts, wouldn't they want transmogs?

But I feel like you're missing my point here. It's that it doesn't make a difference if you put the BoJ Costs super high, because people will always be able to afford stuff because they have so many piled up on their mains.

That's why im suggesting a new way of affording things because of the inflation.

Hartun's question already implied his opinion : New players (non-donors) will prefer not to use their BOJs for transmog, considering that they'll have to vote 10 times just for one token (to be able to transmog one thing) whilst they can get 10 BOJs by voting 9 times.
Moreover, we don't necessarily need this future NPC to get xmog items, even less for our alts.

However, I've thought about it and I finally agree with you but not really because of the inflation you're talking about (you're wrong on this point, it's a new offer which "will" cost a lot of the current money, not an offer which already exists whose the price was raised).
It'd be more fair to get a new money or an existing one for this NPC, such as apexis crystals and shards, or whatever not necessarily soulbound and not totally easy to farm.
ah

Mos def,why doesnt henry make a poll so that every1 can express their opinions that way,cos i know for a fact that not every player on SF has a forum acc nor they check the forums... bdw why invent a new currency gold is nothing now,now bojs will get ther pointlessness ? Well if you are new here is it more important to look cool or to have decent gear ?

Are you going to say this IF you had lots of BoJ's ? I think not.

I would like to see this too : A new poll with many themes like this xmog vendor, cf bgs, etc.
BOJs aren't pointless, for example we need 220 of them to buy a full T6 set, 120 only for the "off-set" parts, we can also buy "goodies" with BOJs but you're right on one point : What do we make with our shitload of BOJs ? Titles were suggested for this (http://www.smolderforge.com/forums/view ... 986#p58986).
It's not about looking cool or having decent gears, it's about a "fair" way to start a new offer. Anyway, Henhouse never approved this afaik, so it's not that useful to discuss about it for now.
ah

Quote for the win:
Henhouse wrote:Like several people have already commented, I haven't made a lot of gear obtainable any easier due to the community's love for transmog and the rarity it gives players by taking a long time to farm/obtain. Specially speaking, the level 60 PvP gear sets. Many players want me to remove the cost on these items, or lower them, but as I have found, many people spend much time earning this gear and it makes their time well-spent and their transmog more rare due to their time commitment. This is something I wouldn't want to take away.
