Trophy Crystal grind feedback

I'm going to step out on a limb here and guess that the final reward step is just a way to give people who play PvP for the fun of it a little something. The series ranks up to the armor set are the real intended grind and the rest is gravy. If someone's goal is to get All The Things then yeah, it's a lot of time for little return/progress toward All The Things. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep All The Things around but add Only A Few Things next series so we have a greater amount of disposable trophies to use to buy All The Things going forward.

I was one of the knuckleheads who ground out the Conqueror title when it first came out and understand what a PvP grind entails. They suck; there's no other way to say it. I'd like to suggest trying to shift your frame of reference and do PvP play for the fun of the activity and let the rewards come as an almost passive result of playing rather than playing to reach a goal. The destination's the same, but the journey's much easier to handle.

I'd love some Series Rank on Challenge log victories

The exact same people who advocated for an exchange of 20K wolf marks for a single wolf collar.

They literally got what they asked for.

Or – most likely – you can wait until next season when progression resets and you're back to only needing 2000 EXP for 1000 crystals. Put the extra work in if you want everything now, but I don't think it's all going away immediately.

If nothing else, they did say the rewards would still be purchasable next season, so we'll have that much time to see what happens, what is permanent and whether or not they bring out another whole set of gear to spend crystals on. I don't think there's any need to be grinding the high levels for crystals at this point unless you're desperately trying to acquire something that can't wait.

Finally got level 25 for the armor. Looks better in-game (on regular sized bodies). I'll still finish up the whole thing, but, I'll probably just end up holding onto a lot of this currency. As other than the weapons, it really is portrait cosmetics of the jobs I play (which are few) that I would even want to buy. Really just WHM and RDM.
