What Prevents players from debolstering?

What's stopping me? Not being able to pick up Bolt of Change.

debolstering and fighting as t3 toon is another 'price' for overlord set.
being an exemplar.
some posts are another form of 'price are too high' opinion.
pay the price if you want, or not.
you're also helping lowbies, price are not too high IMO.

Well when you kill them 10 times in a row they typically don't get much renown, and try to blame the number 40 on your head for the fact they don't know what detaunt is.

Oh the classic "why don't you play in T4 with your r40 and enter T3 to slaughter newbies".

For me, the only boring part are forced pauses, when everyone in mid tier only queues for scenarios and you can't do anything as a de-bolstered player when open RvR is dead for 15-30 minutes. Or there are only PvE locks, but i'd rather like do some PvP.
Maybe the scenario manager could check for debolster requirements and if they are met, the player will join automatically the according scenario queue of t1 or mid tier. To prevent t4 premades from steamrolling lower tier scenarios too easily, downbolstered players should be only able to join the "solo" queue, not the group one.

The hassle of respeccing, the cost especially. Plus relatively slow gain of said seals, compared to "tolerable" process of whatever I can do in T4, whether it is grinding scenarios or getting zerged in orvr.
Maybe once I finish Conq on my main, I'll start looking into whatever I might gain from T3, but that is still a process that requires 3-5 months.

When most ppl have obtained conq and the new gear is the only carrot left I reckon more ppl will debolster.

Why not keep one char specced for T3 and another for T4?

debolstering has to be this way. twink healers can already turn t1 into a snoozefest

i feel perfectly competitive when debolstered. nobody gets to spend very long at that t3 top power bracket anyway. it's like your mini reward before t4 kicks you in the face

With the fix incoming and the decreased amount needed for the seals, I can't imagine it will be very difficult to obtain. That's different from why a player doesn't want to debolster though. I imagine the reasons are mainly around how much gold it takes to respec and the gear you'd want to obtain before heading into mid tier.

Thats their choice, you dont get everything in life for free, this is something everyone can chose to do and get something thats (mostly) sexy for their class.

Oh, I agree with you. I was simply responding to the OP.
