Runes of Magic US / AU

on crafted gear and Arcanium statted gear yes. But then again the special ones been saying that crafting drops are ok blabla but they are not the ones crafting gear. Fix Int/Matk drops on crafted gear and a lot of drops would get fixed like they've been doing since level 80 cap all the way to level 92 cap. Justice, sea, water, fire, mountain, haze etc stats, funny part is, which class would use these stats, if at all anywhere in game? but this is ROM and nothing make sense either way ;-)

I believe those stats have just been put in purely to waste your time and mats. They can just as easily put the decent stats on crafted gear like str/patk, stam/patk, stam/hp along with int/matk. Or make them all drop in easy mode, if not that then at least on normal mode gears, so more people can get a hold of these stats. People run hard modes for the gears, stats aren't the primary concern. Considering as how the concept running an instance during the level cap said instance should have been released is now so far out the window that its in the horizon. And people are having to miss out on stats when making new gears.

But the stupidity level of the people in charge of running/making this game is beyond the realm of reality, so silly me for expecting something sensible to get done. And what's worse is that they are part of the same species as the rest of us. -shivers-

Let us truly make it Pay to Win and put stats in the item shop...

I just don't get what their business plan is. They DON'T make more money by making it harder for players to obtain stats. If anything the easier players can get hold of stats the more often they will regear/restat their current gear. Like last ZS myth event, I farmed over 1.3k myths, and went on a bit of a shopping spree. Orange stated my champion and made a new orange stated set of m/w swap gear. Before this my champ was running around in crafted, unplussed bag stated gear with quest accs that didn't even have runes in it. But as soon as I had enough orange str/patks I purchased dias and put the stats on proper, plussed, drilled gear. Purely because they are orange stats, putting them on crappy gear is a waste. My swap gear before that myth event was mainly bag stats that was on white vendor gear. But I had a lot of orange str/stam left over from trying to pull str/patk and so I pulled purple mem gear, plussed and drilled the ones that needed it and put the orange str/stam on them gears. Putting orange stats on white gear seems stupid.

But they keep making it harder and harder for players to get stats. AA only has a 10% chance of giving useable stats and takes hours and hours to get enough badges to make a pull, myth gears cost 10 myths per pull now, and yet they won't increase the number of world boss channel or have ZS myth event 3-4 times a year. And dreamland...a perfectly viable method for players to farm stats...just sitting there being wasted. Because it doesn't drop any stats of use and the gears are useless for the most part as well.

-sigh- its just <frustrating>

It's the "gambling mentality". Proven to get your addictions going. You will keep playing and keep spending money on the game until you get what you want and what you want is forever around the next corner. If they just up and gave you what you wanted, you would probably stop playing and stop paying...

Thats why i dont upgrade my gear still rocking some 55 and 60 gear cuz i am not going to take part in that bull upgrade system. (saves me money woot)

Forever a fail player

IDK, by that logic it would appear that quite a few players have gotten everything they wanted with more and more getting it every day

Buying more dias than others doesn't magically increase the number of available stats in the server.

If you were "magically" given every stat you needed, sure, you would drill and + all your gear so you would have the most OP gear you could make....but then what? Why run an instance? You already have the stats you need and the gear you need. Ther may still be left the challenge, but after you have cleared all the latest instances what do you do? I fail to see how you do not understand this...it is classic gear treadmill. In order for the game to continue successfully, they must keep you on the treadmill. If you have already reached the end, you may as well step off.

None hard mode gears are more or less junk 70% of the time. Most people either buy the hard mode gears they need or use myth gears as a stepping stone so they can get the hard mode gears they need. People will still have to clear instances to get the dmg gear and decent weapons. Where as the stats being used remains the same regardless of whether its a hard mode gear or some random myth gear.

But increasing the availability of stats leads to more dias being purchased because people will be more willing to upgrade a lot more often.

I don't think anyone is arguing there needs to be a higher percentage of only hard mode or myth stat availability, just "good" stat availability in general. Players will still be motivated to get the best stats by running hm inis - in the meanwhile they should be able to more readily get other "decent" stats so they can progress to that point. There are plenty of players that have a very hard time just pulling decent shell stats - taking as long as two months to pull a single one. If players only needed 1-2 that would be fine but they don't. Players shouldn't be so limited by the availability of decent stats but in many cases they are.

Anyone who thinks things are fine the way they are, hasn't really been paying attention because otherwise we would be seeing more players and adding more servers instead of the opposite.
