Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "Thenewslash"

...but as one guild, we just simple don't run enough to get enough gear to supply the server, which is why we need the rest of the server to participate instead of having all this expectation for us..

We totally do run enough to supply the server with gear. Just not enough OD gear which is what most ppl want.

Finally, I've said it before and I'll repeat it here. I think all end game players should roll a new toon on a different server where they are not known and experience for themselves the challenges newer players face to hopefully get a more rounded perspective. This is not a criticism of end game players by any means, merely a suggestion based on the divergent posts I've been reading on the forums.

Every endgame person was a newbie once. We already went through this at some point.

newbie experience now is a completely different monster than newbie experience even 2 years ago.

Magio. we appreciate your supplying the server

Not everyone in PPK, or every endgame guild for that matter (probably), has been established for that long.

Idk if this is sarcastic... but just in case I'll say this. I have chests filled with UD instance gear ranging from lvls 80-87. These usually have Stam/HP or Str/Stam stats. Anything else Att/HP, Att/Mdef I just throw away. I've used a lot of these stats making my gear and still have problems finding room to store stuff. Now imagine all the stuff I've discarded with bad stats. All these items just on me while only keeping the useful-semiuseful stats. So I am sure that as a guild we could provide UD gear for everyone. It just doesn't sell, much.

It would sell if the prices were reasonable, However the price of an ABL prevents it.

It's honestly not the ABL that is the issue. That is a 1 time payment. It's the aftermath of golden hammers that causes people to avoid UD gear.

Most of us have done "10m your ABL".

no that wasn't sarcastic Magio.. I put the on there in hopes you would realize it wasn't meant to be sarcastic. I do appreciate what you guys have been doing lately. I think the older PPK that was full of elitist, selfish kids is gone. The new PPK is a good group of people and I haven't had an issue with a single one of them.. It has been over a year since my last major problem with a ppk. Well there was one instance, but I think it was a misunderstanding, so I didn't go nuts over it. Also cause there has been LOTS of good interactions with PPKs. Truly, not sarcastically, you guys are doing great.

I think it is a good thing you do the free/10 mil abl offers that only helps our server.

Golden hammers problem is definitely worse now than before, since they're no longer on sale for 10 diamonds like they're used to and sales for it are much rarer now. 13 diamonds for a hammer happens like once a month now... Better stock up for a month's supply or start paying 19 dias for it =/

I agree with that 1000%, I mean just as an example. My gf and I (back at level 80 or maybe it was 82 cap) Duoed Beth Normal first boss, and succeeded on 2nd a few times. By duo I mean two players.... we needed all 6 characters in there, but we worked the strat and made up for the lack of straight dps with debuffing classes. It CAN be done.

We were recently in an end game guild, and we were there a while. We went on HM runs and it was SHOCKING to me that the suggestions by Borella, BB, and others here WERENT being used. It flipped my brain to see a group that wasn't utilizing strategies that were spelled out here on the forum and they were FAILING and kept trying the same things! I tried to give my suggestions to the group... they were not looked upon favorably either. I was baffled even more. That is why I say that I KNOW it is possible for lesser groups, and the people here can only keep telling people to do the same thing... they cant follow you in game and smack you in the face with it......

Yes it would be good for more pug groups to run for people to farm their own gear. I have said it before in other threads bag stats and crafted/easy mode gear will get you to the point you are able to go and not be dead weight! I mean if you are one of the support classes you need even less to be viable.

Now of course ill admit I haven't been running anything. I have been farming my daililes on alts for ptokens, shells for stats for next level cap and just putting them aside, and improving some alt's gear. Yea gear is more scarce now then it has been... but if it isn't there today, I think "it might be tomorrow". I have been pretty laid back. When I want the gear with more of a passion ill start tryng to look for pug groups :p And when I see a piece I want, I know I am going to be paying a good price for it... I am ok with that.

All I have to say is, luckily for me pvp gear does not require running the latest hardmode instance and OD gear doesn't matter since dura loss from pvp is minimal. Oh and not to mention that you dont need to put a bunch of expensive /attack stats on that gear.

Also, I bought a stat off the AH an hour ago.

I haven't bought a stat in such a long time. I forgot how it feels to buy something to stat something. Weird life man. So used to being the person having to run to get something.

no one invited me into any runs...

nobody ever pays me with trident bubble gum...

Quoted from "ruisen2000"

If you do PuG for endgame, make sure you don't give one person the permanent power to decide who gets to join and who doesn't...
Otherwise bad things happen after awhile.

I totally get what you mean
