The number of items necessary
Let me start off with an explanation and apology.

While we did mention that the number was temporary, it seems like many of you misunderstood that and took the numbers we posted as indicators of the actual values. Instead, we should have used numbers like 1 or 9999 to make it abundantly clearer that these numbers were temporary.

I do not want to risk confusing you all even more, so I will make this simple. The difficulty (as well as time necessary) of obtaining the items necessary to upgrade each type of gear will be, in order of increasing difficulty, Mythic > Relic > Empyrean. As such, the number of items necessary to upgrade each type of gear will not be the same between the sets of trials.
Well... first off, You guys screwed everyone with the metal plates. Then you acted surprised when everyone saw the dats from the test server with 500 items needed and reacted poorly. This is the third time you have put something stupid that virtually no one agrees with into the ultimate weapon trials. Why would we expect anything less than the absolute worst at this point?

Instead of telling us not to worry about the ticking time bomb in the room, how about using that new poll feature to get some feedback. You guys really need some solid data, because from what I've seen in game and on various forums, it would be surprising if even 5% of your customers like the 90-99 trials.

One of two things could happen. Either :
A) the poll shows that there really are a lot of people that like that stuff, and people just need to settle down.
or
B) the poll shows that you guys really need to fix that crap because your customers hate it.

Either way, you win because you get to make a game that people like.

Beating us to death while telling us that you love us is pretty demented.
