Return of Reckoning

Penril wrote:I haven't really checked those items so i don't know if they are BiS. Regardless, this is how i see it:

- Renown gear should be the best gear in the game, no discussion. If you want to wear it, you need to PvP (buy it with emblems/medallions, wear it with the required renown).

- PvE gear should be good enough to let you compete with those wearing Renown gear. So people who want to plvl and get to max level as soon as possible, without thinking about their renown, can simply buy that gear and not get stomped.

However, good PvE gear (blues, purples) only drop in PvP (!!!). And the drop rates are so low that the prices are, of course, really high on both realms.

Now, the decision to remove blue/purple gear from mobs was due to the fact that people would rather farm Gors in IC for hours instead of doing PvP. Keep in mind though that this was back when we didnt have RvR sets. Maybe it is time to bring back purples/blues to mobs (with a better drop chance) and, if necessary, adjust the stats on those items so they are not as good as RvR gear (but good enough to compete). Maybe it isn't even necessary to adjust anything since PvE gear doesn't have tally slots or set bonuses.

My 0.02.

I see this thrown out a lot in these forums. Have ppl forgotten that BiS gear in mmorpg's are not supposed to be handed out automatically for every casual player but instead reserved for the dedicated players who put the time and effort in to acquire them? Anyhow Brigand gear advantages when there are any are ever so slight the prices they are commending right now are not even close to being worth the minimal advantages they provide. Best in slot is best in slot however and worth striving for the serious players.
