Bolster for 31+ wasn't touched when the mid-tier bolster was created. There's plenty of things that you can do with your early R30's when it comes to leveling or accumulating gear that are not found in RvR. Consider it a moment to coast while you get your other non-RvR objectives in order. Maybe you can use this time to get your crafting ranked up. Get a head start on the epic weapon quests which do a pretty good job of leveling you. Hang out at some busy PQ's for Ruin pieces and fragments. Power through it in RvR for a couple levels to get Annihilator. Or just grind out some scenarios and hope your realm can carry you.WorstNovak wrote:This isn't really relevant in a discussion that, I assume, is focused on the mean. Some people are good. Plenty of people aren't. The bolster for 31+ is not enough by any measure. Don't believe me? Play an average geared char that is 31-34. It isn't fun.Torquemadra wrote:
If you have a clue, and are geared appropriately to your level, you are more than competitive with a level 48 bolster, 31+ is where your training wheels come off and you have to work for a living and still its not hard to pick up ruin or even anni or merc with their lowered costs.
Dont mistake losing for a gear gap, there are people who will kick your ass naked all day long on this server.
We're rather aware that there are a couple level ranges that make it more difficult to get things done solely in RvR. 16-19 is a rough spot as well, because you're still sitting on a single tactic and are finishing Obliterator gear. That's fine. Take a break from the thing you're doing, and do a different thing for a bit. This is after all a large multi-faceted MMO with a lot of different things to be doing across all the level ranges to optimize your chances of success in PvP.
