why 880?

[Grobbok]

why weapons from sc are so expensive, 880 officer's emblems!!!!!!
is so too much, why we must farm so many scenarios for that??
how ppl who come to play 2-3 times per week for 3-4 hours can get that weapons? after year?
is that game for fun? or for no-lives who are all time in game?
and if you have 3 alts, u must farm 2640 emblems??? WTF?
are you Devs serious with that prices?

[Tiggo]

noone forces you to have these weapon within weeks?

T4 is the endgame. Don't expect to get BiS gear in a week.

And don't use the "if you have alts" card on me... I have 20 characters at rank 35. It's gonna suck gearing them up, but that's just how it is.

Im pretty much just using green lvl appropriate gear all the way through for all my alts. The lower tiers it really doesnt matter and you can do fine. It'll get me an armor piece and a bit of the way toward a weapon when I hit t4.

Iirc, Warpforged weapons were a few thousand emblems before warcrests.
Epic Quest weapons are strong and take 2-3hours to get both MH/OH.

RoR is not WAR lol. A week ago, rank 35/T3 was our endgame.

[Grobbok]

it is only 39lv weapons
what with weapons for 40lv and 80 rr in future, will it be for 5000 emblems?
what is that madness?
why casual players can't enjoy game?

[Genisaurus]

1. These prices are from live, when the weapons were introduced.
2. The number of emblems you get from a scenario are from live, when emblems were introduced.

3. You are playing an MMO, a genre designed around the idea that a players time investment is directly correlated to the rewards they should receive. If you want something that rewards you more in less time, I think Guild Wars 2 is still around.

4. We are absolutely serious with these prices.

If you want to know what future prices will look like, assuming these weapons will remain available/unchanged, you can use this guide.

As for the old "Why do you hate casual players?" argument, you can shove it. I guarantee I have less time to actually play the game than you do. My main wasn't even capped before T4. And I still have fun. I still enjoy the rewards I receive, and I have yet to get bored with the treadmill to the next reward. Maybe that's because I focus on the game instead of the rewards themselves, maybe it's because I'm braindead, maybe it's because I'm so bad that I've stopped caring so much about my weapons having a marginal increase in stats. But in the end, the game is for people like me.
