Full premade groups are getting queues up to 1 hour during primetime. You obviously have no experience @50, so why are you trying to comment on something that's Lv50 specific?
What are you even saying? People should slow down... just "cause"? You're saying that SE's arbitrary restrictions are "good" because it will keep people around longer? Ask any SWTOR or AOC player how well that worked out for those games (Hint: They both went free to play within a year of launch.) This really is quite possibly the most amazing example of WhiteKnight'ing ever. Scientists will conduct case studies on your post for decades to come. Thank you for your contribution to the study of "Virtual Stockholm Syndrome".B) I not that high nor do I know the cost of this yet I know why system is in place. what's the point of playing a game if you have all the best gear in a week the no challenge to keep you coming back no reason for you to progress forward.
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad your willing to admit it's possible SE could muck something up. That's real progress. I feel like we're getting somewhere. That said, you still didn't even remotely understand it, but at least you didn't interpret it through rose-tinted glasses. What's he's saying, is that the quality of the gear, versus mats required, compared to how easy it is to farm AK and CM; Is not appropriate. No one will buy crafted Lv50 gear, because the AK and Tome gear is so easy to acquire. At the moment, the only reason people WOULD buy it, is because they're so tired of the hour+ AK queue just to get that gear, that they'll buy it in a fit of nerd-rage. That's not a sustainable system for a healthy economy and crafting end-game.C) now the Gear I do agree with .. Only reason I could see the system set as it is now would be not ment really for you but ment to craft for some one else witht he extras you get so you could sell if some one was trying to gear up quickly only thing I can think of here. so I do think this needs to be looked into
TLDR; Stop being a WhiteKnight. This guy's criticisms are 100% on point, and speaking frankly, are specific to Lv50, which is something you can't possibly have experienced.
