What Prevents players from debolstering?

[anarchypark]

auto debolster - how does the system debolster your mastery & renown skills? there is no way. or it requires HUGE work.
low priority that requires many works = I don't think it's gonna happen.

auto debolster on gear - all debolstered characters have same stats. zero variety. no room for advancement.
you want free gears for debolster. T4 players have enough resources. they don't need free things.

you guys are acting like this : 'gimme easy way'.

here is my efforts.
top t3 gears with full purple talis. it took only few hours to preparing. and 12 bag slots.
i spent 5g so far to respec. I agree that back and forth between T4 and T3 is tiresome.
so i chose to stay in t3.
missing few skills is not that big to play archtype role.

all of these are worthy payments for me to get new set.
not worth? don't pay it. it's just choice.

Dev side:
Upon t4 zone locks, make it 30 minutes to 1 hour until we can open up a new t4 zone, forcing everyone to either idly wait, queue or debolster for a short while. Congruently when ALL of t4s campaign is locked, make it a 3-6 hour reset time, encouraging massive fights for a few hours debolstered.

All of this in conjunction with GM sponsored live events (remember those?) In the mid tiers in which rewards for enough participation could be QOL/appearance items from past events.

Community side:
The big guilds (BT/phalanx etc) and the community itself plan an ad hoc debolster day, although the term herding cats comes to mind.

But Nork, when you spend 6 hours in a zone of constant fighting and going back and forth over BOs, and especially fighting the zerg, staying 100% focused for 6 hours, really drains your energy and you are simply too wasted to do anything else. Trust me, when our guild finishes a zone after 5-6 hours we all just collapse into our beds.

But the other proposal is fine. We thought about doing some warbands or parties in t3, for the good old times and for getting that sweet gear. And who knows maybe we might even organize something.

Only problem with impromptu guild debolstering is the other side will just give up and stop playing, making the lake completely empty. Could be different during EU Primetime though, but I doubt they have much of a stomach for getting rolled by a coordinated 6-12-18-24 man group beyond 10 minutes.

We have a rough time keeping much of a 6v6 population as is, but i'd LOVE to see some debolster 6v6 Premades. I'd have more fun doing that for an hour than a week of t4 orvr, seeing everyone's ability to play beyond CW/RD, pull/fetch immaculate defense etcetera etcetera. If only we had a staff member that'd focus on hosting weekly/bi monthly in-game events....

The reverse makes more sense, we have all the time in world to farm t4, its always active for the most part, t3 on the other hand needs active players and one side won't join unless the other does.

To address your point in regards to conquer and dominator set, why waste time farming gear that you are just going to shelf if you plan to debolster to t3, unlike yourself i have an actual use for the overlord set and the 72 hour renown pots are very attractive to me right now.

Your not alone

Another question, why grind conq/dom, when you could wait for release of new tier of sets and reduced prices for them? I play for fun and currently I have it in T3 with a nice group (which is difficult to find).
