You have no idea how many ppl are laughing and happy that u can get that ring w.o need to play ranked, its considered cheap, as it is actually endgame gear.

At one time Ranked was much more active, and players did grind through to gain the associated gear. In all seriousness I believe the price is a reflection of that fact, an acknowledgement of the efforts of those who played the ranked system. I played ranked as well, and although it bred a somewhat toxic environment it was both fun and demanding.

I feel the price is fine.

Remember the change to war crests? Devs refused to release the conversion chart from old currency to new currency (even when a version of it had leaked) so people couldn't make informed choices about what to buy or not buy. Players were encouraged to spend all their old currency as it would be worth less, then after the war crests went live the Triumphant/Victorious rings couldn't be bought with crests so people with spare spent them on other random stuff. After all that, a few weeks later once a huge amount of war crests had left the system THEN the Triumphant and Victorious rings were available for an absurd amount of war crests. And of course, the war crest version had "replica" slapped on the end of it to make it very clear that you had not bought it through ranked.

Yep, that was a middle fingle. IIRC how the conversion process was handled in general was so popular internally that we lost a dev over it.

This is a fun game. I want Warlord and Sovereign back to being obtainable through city sieges only. It's only fair considering the incredible sacrifices people made doing cities at random days and times (including waking up at 3am for cities... Spring 2020 was wild). I had all 3 sets farmed in 3-4ish months of cities, my sacrifice deserves recognition and to be repeated by all who come after. While we're at it, let's get the Sentinel ring back to needing 13 runs of the city dungeons which were on a 4 day lockout timer, so that was 7 weeks at the minimum to get it. Only fair considering the time it took people to get the item when it was first introduced. Oh, and please add "Replica" to any Sovereign piece purchases with war crests. Only fair for those of us who got them with royal crests in cities.

See how daft that line of thinking is? Keeping the ring at 10k crests is ROR's version of this trolley problem meme:

Spoiler:

If the people who obtained it through ranked need something to feel special, I'm sure an exclusive cape with the words "I got 50 wins at over 1000 MMR in 6v6 cross-realm team deathmatch, and all I have to show for it now is this lousy cape" written on it can be provided.
