I really would like to stress on the need of bringing back scrolls.
Many positive things weren't noticeable prior to the removal of the scrolls just because we were used to it and as many things one gets used to, we didn't pay attention to its importance. And the negative aspects... there wasn't any in reality.
Pros+
1+Active PvE 16-39
2+High RR gains
3+Emblem Farming (especially now with currency unification)
4+Learning about your class
5+Learning about RvR and PvP
6+Learning about PvE and dungeons. (Sacellum runs anymore? thought so.)
7+Fun and friendship due to the social aspect of meeting the same people over and over again
8+An alternative for those burned out from zergs and SC stomps at T4
9+An alternative for those who want to take a break from RvR/PvP and want to do PvE
10+World and lore exploration through questing, especially epic quests which are kind of mandatory
Cons-
1-Getting farmed by twink premades (Now you get farmed by non twink premades)
In short, we gave away 10 positive aspects for the sake of 1 "negative" aspect that CONTINUES to happen, just in a different flavour. I honestly don't understand how this is a subject of an argument to be honest. This is the denial that I always talk about. Why is it so difficult to back off from a bad decission?
Even some of the arguments being used on this thread are beyond ridiculous, what do you mean that new players don't know about scrolls? I knew about it when I was a new player and I used them, I told all my friends to use them, we farmed PvE and PvP together and that kept us together as the usual friends that you make along the way in MMO's, because that's the real joy of MMO's after the years. It's like saying that low level dungeons should be removed because new players don't do them anymore, obviously because if you do them you gain 3 or 4 levels and you're F beyond belief. I can't objectively find a compelling argument on why the scrolls shouldn't come back. Is it because you don't want to get farmed by twinks? Well then just don't use the scroll and get farmed by T2-T3 premades until you also get farmed at T4 because your gear is rubbish. Look, you, me and everyone will get farmed regardless at any point of the game, it's ridiculous to have such an ego and also, sad. So again, what good does it make to remove 9 positive aspects of something just because some want to get the illusion that something has changed for the better when in reality it has changed to the detriment of everything and everyone?
I don't get it, I simply don't get it.
