Suggestion: Add Poetics to HW Levelling Dungeons

[Kaurie]

Sure, Alex is the fastest route, but not by much. I only did around 50 Alexander runs, tops. The most efficient way to grind is the one that won't exhaust you so that you can keep going. I did most of mine with Hunts and Roulettes.

I also did mine via hunts.

I did about 500 hunts, ish. 50 runs of Alex and roulettes.

However, doing Hunts is quite a bit faster than farming say Neverreap for law.

Anyway, again, I was just making a bitter sarcastic comment. Just every day I am slightly more disappointed with this game than the last. Having fun playing WoW and BnS right now, and just logging in for raid night.

Hmm, maybe if the poetic reward wasn't as high? Maybe 50 poetics a run? That way, the level 50 dungeons are still faster, but if you wanna get poetics while leveling up another class, you're still making some progress towards your relic.

[Ashkendor]

How are poetics even a problem? The game practically shoves them in your pocket at every turn.

I have to work way harder at getting Law. o.O

[Derio]

Simply because there are alot and I mean ALOT of new players who need the lvl 50 dungeons. As soon as you reduce the number of people queuing for 50 roulette or the dungeons themselves. Thats when you start hurting the system they have in place. Even if you add it alongside it there are certain people that would run the leveling queues only to be able to use post 50 skills.

New tomes in next patch which will likely mean poetics are gone.

I don't see this happening yet. Since the holidays there's probably still a lot of relatively new amount of players without Heavensward Access. Usually the way things go the old one is removed and the new one replaces the old currency. So most likely Law will be replaced Eso will replace it and the new currency will replace Eso. This seems more likely than just removing poetics and replacing it with law which wouldn't make sense. Since poetics really only exists for people without expansion access.

You must have not seen how the old tomes worked in 2.0:

First we had Philosophy and Mythology, followed by Soldiery. Philosophy got canned and people could trade them for Mythology. Poetics then came next and Mythology was no longer worth anything, so that was up for Soldiery exchange. Right now we have Poetics, Law, and Esoterics, so once the WTF tomestones come out, Poetics will be trashed and you can trade yours for Law. To keep Poetics in 3.2 and beyond is going to be a cluster#$@! on the UI and it's only going to add more of the token problem we have right now, especially when we get even more tomestones later on. Law tomestones doesn't have to be exclusive to 3.0.

Keeping Poetics will cause no issues with the UI. Even if it did, it can simply be adjusted, like it's been before.

What you see now in the currency tab is: Soldiery, Poetics, Law and Eso. What will happen is Soldiery disappears off the UI, and then the 4 tomes will be Poe, Law, Eso and the new tome. Then in 3.4 Law disappears and Eso becomes the currency you can trade for the 3.4 tome.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

But here is the other issue. If Law becomes the new LV50 tomestone, then what would it be used for when Poetics was the only thing needed beforehand? If you keep Law to 60, then what is it going to be used on when Eso gets uncapped and is set to 2000 max while the WTF tomes are the new 450 capped? From what I experienced, the tomestones are always in the same pattern: One tomestone is used as the poor man's token for gear which is cheap and easily obtainable while the more expensive tomestone are capped and take time to earn for the more glamorous gear.
