Thread: 2.5 and Poetics...

Pre upgrade. While I suspect that many people will farm the crap out of WoD and poetics if they are both removed from their perspective lockouts, I dont see many people getting multiple full sets of poetics gear and then farming up every upgrade token they would need to make the gear i130.

If WoD has its loot lockout removed prior to the expansion, which seems likely, Im betting that most people get the WoD gear for their alts and use the upgrade tokens for the first and second highest played jobs.

If poetics gear has its cap removed, the costs will likely remain the same which would deter some from gathering multiple full sets. But I am sure that some will try.

It seems more likely, at least to me that if this happens people will use the unlimited loot from WoD to gather gear and then use their poetics to buy the accessories for their jobs.

Also, I should note that I don't think that things like this would happen prior to patch 2.55. This way it would only give players a limited amount of time before the expansion comes out.
