i100 and i110 gear no longer special

[Akari_Theron]

Who here in our small community is not happy about them getting rid of the rank needed for this gear? One thing that I really liked was that less than 1% of the population had the rank 45 gear and it made those that did have it stand out. Now with them getting rid of the needed rank, anyone can get the gear and we will start seeing people who are only there just for the gear and don't care if they win or lose. These people are the same that entered pvp for light farming and would go LOL who cares about pvp in this game derp derp(yes I saw multiple people say this).

The PvP community in this game is small. It swelled for a time because people grinded (and boy was it a grind) for the gear. Then it lingered in 40+ minute queues. We will see a rush again tomorrow, of people jumping in to test the new zone, and then some people will grind up to get the 100/110 sets they've had their eyes on. Then they'll disappear. We'll be dead in the water again in a month. You'd think SE would want to offer people more incentives to play, to keep playing -- not take them away. It's really mind bogglingly stupid.

But we have rank 50 to grind and all that marks to earn! Yay! There are no changes to the pvp system, the spells/skills were not revamped... Just a new map?!?! On second thought, most people don't even bother reading much less using these pvp skills...

This should help reduce queues time for a while, but those same players who weren't willing to put time and effort into pvp will leave as soon as they get this gear, so this isn't a viable solution in the long run imo. Hopefully some of them will take a liking into pvp still.

I would rather have seen the new gear be more accessible and leave the more unique ones behind ranks though. The grind was real to get those and it saddens me to think we're gonna see everyone running with it now.

The requirements to obtain all items get eased over time, not just PvP stuff. You can't expect things to be rare or difficult to obtain forever.

Let other people enjoy their new glamors. From a stat perspective the 100/110 stuff have become obsolete, so you can now use them early while grinding towards the 180 stuff.

We see this in raiding too, the frontrunners who get things cleared first and enjoy their special status of having gear few other people have, then they get sour when difficulty is eased and more people get the stuff.

I, for one, am phucking salty.

Except this is not the same deal in PvP. In Coils, you have to put some effort to still complete the fight. Majority still can't do T13, some can't get past T9. But in FL, you can literally do nothing and still get the marks. Not that I'm saying the ones who want the glamour are just going to sit on their asses every match, but you get my drift.

I said it in a different thread, but I would be ok if they lowered the rank needed for the gear by 5 ranks from what they were. It would treat it sorta like an echo does the old stuff by making it a little easier to do/get.

I waited in 100's of hours in que to wear that gear....now someone new will be able to attain it in less then a week. Seems fair. Thanks se for the kick in the balls.

[weighty]

Yeah they should have lowered the rank by 5. Letting someone get a rank 45 weapon after say 20 matches is just wrong imo... Especially after people sat in que for 40 mins for months on end to get them :/
