People used to suit up with whatever stuff they had, if they had not great gear, so be it, thats where skill came in and helped level things out.
OK that's like saying you cn bring a knife to a gun fight.
you only say you don't care because you don't PVP.
Now people are so dependent on faction arties that they have moved to prodo shards and are now suggesting insurance so that they don't have to deal with losing them when they die.
NO they leave because of griefing tamers and stealthers who play naked.
th funny thing is that I could play a no clue having crafter who sitsin the bank and buys resources from a guard zone.
making sweet little items for pvpers to buy @ 10-100 k a pop
all the while I can sit on the boards and post about how wimpy everone is who goes out and repeatedly loses expensive gear to ganks and stealthed players.
therfor I become rich and everypne else gets to cry while I call them a bunch of *******.
NOT very perilous I would say.
Dude, I care about pvpers. I also care about the shard as a whole. I was just stating a fact. I did not hear cry one pre faction arties about gearing up. People went out bought 1/3's and did what they had to do. And if you missed it one of the 125 times I said it in this thread alone, I am FOR lowering silver costs so people can suit up with faction arties, because the cat is out of the bag, theres no way to stuff it back in.
I'm not calling anyone a wimp. Its not a problem the players caused. It's a problem the developers caused by not taking into consideration what faction arties would do here. As it always is they drop prodo code on us with cavalier abandon, then say they need to take a half a year to evaluate the effect of any possible changes. Are players going to take advantage of stupid development leak through? Of course. I do not blame them, thats how it goes.
Bad mouth me all you want because I don't pvp (although I plan to start once I get scrolls, which will prolly be like a year from now but whatever..) thats fine, you don't know me, or what I do, It doesnt really matter but I don't sit in the guardzone and craft, and you clearly know nothing about me if you think I'm rich.
I am out hunting any time I am on, geared up as well as I can (I am very poor most times), most times equipped with plenty to lose if I get got, and that is how I have always played.
I stand by everything I said, and I will repeat I am all for pvp and pvpers. They are the heart of the shard, and even as a tamer I was one of the most vocal people AGAINST greater dragons even being tamable if you want to talk about pvp abuse, and I am for passive reveal changes while we are at it.
But will I let people try to spearhead an initiative that is bad for everyone? No, I won't.
