Runes of Magic US / AU

Here's a possible for a huge moneymaker for GF & get people to run at-level instances more: Stat Tiering

3x of the same stat = stat +1 tier up to +10, using 1 AT charge

so, let's say you get a Mage XIII @ 150 stam/375 matk

3x Mage XIII = Mage XIV
3x Mage XIV = Mage XV
3x Mage XV = Mage XVI
...

Whatever the values RW wants to provide in the game for those future stats would then be updated every time a new zone comes out, so it'd be pretty easy to keep up to date.

This would boost Charges & Puri sales & helps statting for new instances using old instance drops.

I'm hearing that a possibility for not-so-great stats to be combined into better stats could make someone already powerful even more powerful.

How is this different from our current model? A not-so-geared player has to buy gear/stats from people that "monopolize" end-game instances already. I'm suggesting that a player be allowed to farm what s/he can farm and combine like stats into better stats.

The one caveat I would impose on the system I'm proposing is that you cannot use the same NAMED stat more than once on a piece of gear.. ie, the aforementioned Mage stat. If you have a Mage XVI, you cannot place a Mage XV on the same gear.

& as far as how it's too easy to tier up a stat, unlike Runes, you must use the IS to get puris to make the stats in the first place. If I recall, puris are what.. 19 dias so.. 380 tokens? that's 4 days of dailies to tier up for the "purely" F2P using 3 alts.

Part of me wonders if people even care about the core of games like this... do better, get more powerful, do more. I've always wondered why a game that allows tiering up Runes didn't allow tiering up stats.

I would also suggest RW rank improvements increase most in GREEN stats ( since they're single stats ), YELLOW stats ( "common" rare stats ) & finally ORANGE/RED stats

To me, the Green stats should have always had the MOST individual stat score since they're not split between 2-3 stats.

Choices, people.. choices.
