gee I don't check for a day and it goes 5 pages of useless fights.
Ok so, again I see the point against essences cause expensive and consumables and rng and yadda yadda (I use them myself but if others don't eh), but those people who don't wanna use essences for those reasons, are you at least grinding honors? Cause those are not RNG and permanent and increase your damage loads. Every time I see a rank 25 without them, or even someone who refuses to get to 25 for them I cry. I wouldn't ask anybody to spend time or money for consumables, but for a permanent boost, not doing that is grieving imho. And it saddens me that people are all about essences and then go in without valor.
