    Flames on the healer mask would kill the glamour I'm using at the moment so I'm glad it doesn't have them. I'm not really big on the whole shiny/glowy/particles/wings/etc kind of aesthetics so I think having some gear with and some without is a nice balance.

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    While I don't really care about the set tbh, I just wanted to step in and say the other outfits that got implemented as sets from the contest, it seemed like they were fair about it, so the DPS, healer and Tanks all matched, so it is rather silly that they wouldn't do the same here.

    I think the solution is to ignore the special caster snowflakes that want to be special, and add flames to all the sets.

    Then make it so that you can toggle the flames on and off.

    The other contest winners didn’t have particle effects, so I don’t see the issue with making them all truly similar. All I’m asking for is fairness, but apparently people act like that’s such a bad thing.

    Play a caster and stop whining, and maybe then you can be a "special snowflake" too.

    The solution is to play a caster.

    fully agree.

    And it really doesn't make sense to new players that come after this contest even existed. Does anyone really think that new players care why one set has special effects and the others don't? No, they are going to see effect on one set only and think the devs were just being lazy.

    What you see as fair some of us see as entitlement. Caster contest. That is all.

    I can only post once a day at this level and I'm going to use my daily post to say...


    Are you freaken serious? Grow up and get over yourself. The only "snowflake" in here is you, acting like an entitled child over a set of armor.
    Sorry, no flames for you!

    They gave one set something extra because it's for the class the contest was run for. I don't understand why that's so difficult to understand? The contest was.. for... caster... gear. So obviously the caster gear is going to be more "special"/"fun"/"interesting"/whatever than the other classes' gear.

    The reason to not add effects to the other gear is not laziness, it's because (again) the contest was for caster gear - so caster gear is going to get a little something more.

    What you're asking for is basically "all class gear contest." That's not what this was. This was "Caster Gear Contest" and I think adding in elements to that winning design for the other classes was the LEAST lazy thing they did. Lazy would have been dumping in generic-looking gear for the other classes and only including the contest style for the caster.

    Right now, you're complaining because the only thing the other gear lacks are glowy horns. It 100% sounds entitled to me.
