"Yaaar!" .. really?

[Hawklaser]

You're kinda missing the point. You're right, but it went over your head.

It's possible to spend hours riding that boat. And not get pirates. Anything with a random factor is a "no-go".

Every hour spent TRYING to do something is an hour spent NOT accomplishing something.

The ratio of "value of key":"effort to obtain key" is WAY to low for Yaaar. Skull/Robe are acceptable ratios if its not crowded. Ram is acceptable even though its NOT nostalgic to make a level 109 Ram required.

No, I really didn't miss the point. The complaint is basically coming down to being lazy, and expecting the keys to all be freebies. For some crafting on lightsday is just as bad as having to ride the ferry. Or fishing up moat carp.

I fully expected there to be one for riding the ferry or airship at some point during all of these, seeing as they used to be used somewhat often. Now with all the fast travel options they barely get used. After all, can you name a better way to get new players that may never used the ferries or airships to do so?

On the random factor, it is entirely possible to go for hours and not get 4 yag necklaces. Not likely, but possible. Any kind of drop related one has the potential to take a long time. The pirates are less random than you think, and more about taking the ferry at the right time. As the few times I have went out of my way for them, I didn't have any problem with encoutering them in 1-2 rides.

If and only if the pirates was the one for the KI for this set might I agree with it being unacceptable. But for a single key, that often gets junk, not so much.

The whole rest of your statement is wasted typing. This is the only valid point, and the crux of the whole thread.

It's. A. Waste. Of. Time. An unacceptable amount of time, for an unacceptable reward.

And by this statement one can also conclude all the keys even the really simple ones like get Signet or eat a grape are worthless wastes of time too. Except the problem is the keys have the chance to get items that can take people months of time to get normally, or from content that would take them months to even be able to participate without being carried through it as a total leech. If you are geared enough, that you don't need anything from the keys, why bother getting any at all? After all, why waste any time on what is worthless junk to you, even if its a few seconds to go get signet? So you have a little task to do some random things related to varied things in the games history, for a chance to potentially bypass months of farming or content, and yet want to complain the time investment isn't worth it. But yet, if someone else manages to get something like an Omen body from them, complaints go up about that too because it wasn't to someone that was deemed worthy of having it.

So evidently to some degree they are worth it to you and/or feel entitled to all of the keys enough raise complaints when they are not super easy to get like getting signet.
