Allow us to buy Sands of Time with Soldiery

[Gilraen]

Yeah, no... soldiery can be gained from near every high level thing now. Sands and Oils are for upgrading the highest level gear we have, it makes sense to have them drop from the highest level content we have. Soldiery is just a gateway to get the highest level stuff and should stay that way.

What are you, stuck in 2.2 or something? Sands come from the EASIEST content in the game. Hunts are a total zerg fest with 0 skill required.

No seriously, I'm laughing my ass off.

How is teleporting en mass to one area and clicking the fastest skill you have repeatedly for 30 seconds worthy of comparison to 'the highest level content' that we have?

Christ, the idiocy of hunts really has eroded brain cells, hasn't it? You mock someone for wanting an easy ride to max ilvl from dungeon instances, but consider the farce that is hunts a worthy source instead?

This game really is f*cked.

Oils/Sands coming from Soldiery is stupid.
Oils/Sands coming from Hunts is equally stupid.
Oils/Sands should (only) come from the highest level content we have.
Reading comprehension is hard.

Why are you replying for someone else? That's not what Gilraen said. Stick your nose into someone else's business, thx.

Why do you care that they replied? And it may not be exactly what I said, but it is a less that polite way of getting to the heart of it. I don't mind if people say something for or against me, it's their right to do so. Now, I'm not 'leet', I've never beat Twintania thus I've never done Turns 6-9. Thus I don't see soldiery as being this exclusive currency only superlatively geared people can get. It's easy to get if you don't mind spamming dungeons, hunts and whatnot. Making the items to upgrade soldiery bought equipment available for soldiery kind of trivializes the soldiery gear. I will concede that a compromise could be reached. Maybe have all soldiery gear require unidentified tomes like the weapons, then I can see buying the upgrade items with soldiery.

Because even now, after your own reply, he was misquoting you. There is nothing worse than misinformation and Chinese whispers in a debate.

That aside, you're still not making much sense, yourself. You're saying that the idea of being able to buy ilvl 110 conversion from the same process that buys you ilvl 100 gear, would trivialize the ilvl 100 equipment, yes?

But isn't that exactly what hunts already do? o_0 That's the point of the backlash. You can cap the game off fates, and gear to max from hunts without ever stepping into a group instance.

You make no sense at all.

[Gilraen]

You make no sense at all.

Probably because I haven't been spamming hunts 24/7 to understand just how much damage they've done. I haven't once said they haven't done harm, but I haven't really commented on them because I don't really know what they are fully about. All I know is that are the NMs people wanted and now noone wants them... :/
