Request: Please give us alternate ways to obtain PVP armour and weapons

@awha:

If we are comparing the value added from opening reward availability to the value lost from losing exclusivity, then yes neither side is necessarily wrong and it's just a matter of opinion and judgment, which is up to SE. This is different from what we were discussing earlier though. I think what my problem in all of this is that the differing view of "owner determines value" was used earlier in this thread not as an alternate perspective but as a way to invalidate how other players evaluate the rewards:

"You should accept that end of the day deep down you are the only person that can ever devalue what your top 100 reward represents. Just because Joe 1234 has the same mount as you does not mean to you personally that mount should have any less personal value to you."

This isn't suggesting people valuate with different perspective. It's pushing that perspective as how everyone valuates things, in order to invalidate a way players valuate rewards. This is what I'm pushing against as objectively incorrect.

@Bourne_endeavor:

How easy SE balances past content doesn't have a consistency to it overall. Savage Coil, Alexander, and soon ultimate challenges are balanced after their life cycle on a case by case basis for the most part. After that, they just forget about the content. We don't know if they intend for content to get as easy as 2.x EX primals from ilevel increases or if they just don't care about past PvE content difficulty. If they don't care, then past PvE balance is just a coincidence and they don't care about making rewards more accessible over time to a limitless extent. So the standard doesn't have to be upheld.

@stormfur:

What about the possibility of rereleasing the rewards will still the top 100 achievement tied to it? I know not everyone here is arguing for that, but you haven't addressed this possibility.
