Wednesday's update ac increase on T4 armorFollow

#1 May 25 2011 at 3:41 PM Rating: Decent
It is my understanding that the ac on group T4 gear was raised as it was supposedly not as high as it was meant to be, well I am not happy that the ac was raised on the gear personally. Those of us who took the time to max out our tradeskills so that we could wear our class/race specific armor was because it had higher ac then the T4 group gear. There are too many who were just sitting around doing nothing but paying for task adds to these progression missions so that they could be able to enter the T4 zones and not have to bother with anything but be handed gear, those of us who actually took the time to not only get flagged the right way also had to farm those higher zones to get our drops to make our armor that took alot longer then alot of those who just sat and did nothing. I think Sony needs to give those of us who aren't so LAZY a break, stop trampling on the tradeskillers and let us have something different for all the hard work we put into getting our skills and trophies where they are at, this is of course my opinion.

My view in the fewest words I could find:

Tradeable tradeskill gear should be a notch below each tier of group (and raid) content, but should be an option all the way along (not once in the range of gear).

No-trade tradeskill gear should be better than the group (and raid) gear of the same tier. This would mean the raiding-tradeskiller would have the best gear possible.*


*Unless you also factor in quested gear (which probably should be, but sometimes quest has been equated with "kill X raid mob" so it's either covered or moot depending on your perception.)

Could that same logic not be turned against "lazy" people who purchase the tradeskilled gear rather than making it themselves or going out and hunting their own drops?

Few of my pieces of t4 gear were collected off rots, and I've ran each progression mission multiple times, but my gear deserves to not be improved because someone else wearing the same gear got it in an easier manner? Heck, let them give a minor increase to the tradeskill stuff too, honestly its utterly trivial, more power to someone who's slightly better off than before.

Sorry, I just don't see the value in letting people who don't play the game the way you think they should bother you so badly.

Heck, I'll even admit that I'm personally annoyed at the task or loot buyers/sellers and such, but if it makes them enjoy the game enough to fork out their subscription every month, that makes for a significant amount to keep the game alive for me to play it my way.
