Siege perilous item imbalance

We will never agree here, I love our reds and I loved my great friends in FA, I believe that was the guild, you did not understand as they was japaneses.
Siege was a bloody place from day one and that's how it should be. Sure it's not for all, that's why we have 20+ other shards.
There had always been reds and blues, who was their own crafter, in old days an archer had fleching and tailoring too, a warrior had mining and smithing and a mage had tailoring and maybe alchemy.
Crafting is more complicated now and alot give up and buy from crafters, I have no problem selling imbued suits, only problem is to keep up with my vendor. I would like to sell imbued weapon too, but all Siege bless their weapon, they rarely need a new one.
I don't miss having blessed items. I was fighting to keep them but I now see, it's good they are long gone and I would not miss to see the Siege bless gone too.
Newbie items are back in a new version, not sure what they do on Siege but as they can't be imbued, I don't think they will be a problem, no PvP'er would use them.

Nope not japanese players
i was trying to be delacate and not using any direct nationality in my posting and still will not state which one but i can tell you it was not japanese.. nor that guild you mentioned though I have heard of their dealings on shard.
Secondly No Siege was not that Bloody from day one... my guild has been on Seige a long time (X) .. We and many of long ago were RP'ers and yes we had our reds for raids on other guilds and the general rping done ...
I for one didnt see any harm in keeping my newbie dagger and scissors... heck i didnt see the removal of them at all on all shards. It was the one thing a new player could count on if stuck in a place where a body couldnt be recovered in time in leu of a GM's help. With GM's a thing of the past pretty much the loss of this is a big issue in my book.

As for the crafters getting knocked over and dry looted... on Siege you expect that and only go out bare in the first place... Ore is one thing you can replace and a shoval is easy to make... Siege has been dangerous before this........ much more infact when we had active populations... Now its just sad that those who dont know the rich history can yell loud enough to change the shard. Pulling people to Siege just to let a RED run rampant and kill as if this was a slaughter shard... not to grow and become a member of a good community of players... well that hurts Siege more. When you fear to go out of your own front door not because of the animals that can kill you but that a player will stalk you to death to strip what little you have just to make them feel big is not my idea of a shard I want to be on...
I play on Siege and have nice friends too oh yes some are reds.

I'm not sure who this reds are or maybe they only are on, when I sleep. I'm sitting in my castle crafting, it's public and all doors are set to anyone. If the shard are like you describe, I should be killed and looted alot. It had not happen at all, a few reds and a few thieves had been visiting me, a few to ask me craft something for them.
I do know we may have a few not so nice reds but still, it seem like all respect NEW2 and don't kill our young Siege players or at least not loot them.

About your newbie dagger, I think someone was running with a poison newbie dagger and was able to rez with it.

Ths was not recient FrejaSP I was commenting on the fact when players come in to Seige just cause they get told its a free for all and easy prey ... it might not be so good to tell the kiddies out there .... as for your castle ... hehe Yes new2 is respected and I have helped them many times with items for new to the shard players. And the older ones as well. Siege has been quiet of late and milder Something that is refreshing.... but i do know this also might mean less players on shard too..

As for the newbie set I had .... i was not happy to have the dev replace them... the poison use to eat the daggers andsoon would be brittle and break even newbie ones... so somewhere the dev got the idea it was not working.... still dont mean I condone removal of old players newbie items.

WHO CARES? That book is only good for locking down in your house. Any mage with a bit of intelligence is not going to run that spellbook in pvp.

If I was a dexer and you was fighting me with that book I would disarm you, kill you pretty much instantly because you just lost your Fast Cast Recovery...

And in my personal opinion the only thing that should be blessed on Siege is Spell books & Rune books. Pet bonding, and even the "Siege Bless" would be removed if I had it my way.
