I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an avid siege player, but what are the negative sides to this? I can only see positive.

With enough stones someone on siege could very easily be self supporting on one account. Currently someone who has a warrior is dependent on purchasing armor, weapons and the like from other players. Without the 24 hour penalty it makes switching to a crafter to make their own items too easy. Basically it hurt's the crafters who rely on the business of others.

I'm sure it has PvP issues too, but those I can't comment on because I just don't know enough about it. I agree that on Siege there should be a timer, or some sort of penalty, but not regular shards.

I don't even see it impacting siege anymore now that you can make as many soulstones as you want.

Yes soulstone fragments can be crafted, but they still require ingredients to make. Ingredients that are not as simple as boards and ingots. I don't think we're going to see the explosion of crafted soul stone frags like some people expect.

Your right no explosion yet though but eventualy there be a player or a group of players that will dedicate themselves to gathering the material and selling it. I can see it will be a very demanding market especialy in siege alot of competitive in the peerless and stygian abyss area for the ingrediants.

I'm glad they made the change to the timer. Maybe I can stop at 30 soulstones now...

Crafters do well on siege because stuff decays, and people who pvp dont want to waste time crafting. This wont change. Crafting good stuff takes alot of invested time.

If people care enough, they will have a second account with crafting on it. It wont effect anything.

Alrighty then... Let's see how this goes.
