Its not the whole set although given the opportunity i would rock the full set on my kotbs, its the 3 piece or 4 piece and more importantly the book (pocket item) allowing only 2 gear slots to be taken aswell as the tali slot in the back piece.CegeePegee wrote:I think it's an exaggeration to say that "most" T4 players are sporting BL. It's not even a viable set on any of my lvl 40s. I do a lot of gear inspecting and I do not often see much BL other than for very specific specs or to fill in pieces while working toward a different set. It is by no means a required set and for a lot classes and specs it's nowhere near BiS.
Check the armory and the top rr players, its no surprise they are all rocking 3 pieces to max there dps.
Isnt this to be expected ? ppl got what they wanted and dont visit them again because you get more pvp in the open rvr zone aswell as a chance for a loot bag, who is going to travel all the way to west praag for a tiny chance of pvp ?wargrimnir wrote:
I have hours of video contrary to this point. Currently, yes, there's glorified ganking because the demand for gear is a trickle at best. At release, each server boot was a flurry of activity and PvP to secure a kill, and multiple groups would often clash at the point they respawned. That's what the goal is with turning off the quests temporarily. Maybe it works and we see a bunch of action at the new bosses (because you'll need to figure them out again), or maybe it'll be lackluster and we don't bother experimenting with it again. But that's the joy of being here, we're going to mess with stuff. Sometimes that comes at the expense of community approval.
Why even bother testing when its obvious what will happen ? you remove the quests ppl are not happy because they are at a disadvantage to those who do have the 3/4 pieces, you then bring them back and you still only have the few players who dont have the set doing them which is where we are at now, maybe you will get a little action for a week after they come back then what ? remove them again for a period of time ? this is very unnecessary.
Its not about something coming at the expense of the community its about common sense, you are removing the chance for players to get bis gear because no longer do ppl spend time battling it out for the kill, wasnt this to be expected when they were first introduced ? maybe stuff should be planned better in the future so you dont have to piss part of the community off by making unnecessary changes.
