petition: add the world boss epics in to t1-t2-t3

Tomhet is right. The best solution is removing all epic items from the world bosses.

Removing all cool stuff from wb's seems excellent idea, after wednesday there won't be anyone fighting them and people who aren't online on first day miss quest update. Those that have reallife and can't be online SHOULD BE PUNISHED!! They (we....) don't deserve legendary capes!

[Khaletohep]

A valid point.

I'm a bit torn on this one.

WB should not be an alternative to T1 & T2 raid for the player who never went through. Because as easy as they can be sometime, it's still an important part of the learning curve to handle your toon correctly in big groups.

On the hand, WB loot is nice, because it allow to speed up the process of gearing a toon. Honestly, many vets have a dozen of alts, and gearing them all can be a pain, especially for weapons since we cannot buy them yet with token. Raid have been done multiple time, class is properly played, but heck it's just a relief to see you offhand drop from the WB when you spent hours in raid without dropping it, or actually spending hours collecting token to buy a khitai one. Therefore, it also reduce the gap. With new HL content on the horizon, I guess many folks would like to progress a bit, an WB help them too meet mitigation threshold or whatever is required to do T3 and further.

In overall, I think :

1) T1-T2 should be mandatory to advance in tier. We used to have these requierement through quest item like Vistrix tooth or Leviatus Hand. Don't know if it's still the case, but if not, bring this back.

2) Funcom seriously need to reduce the radius in which people need to be in order to received the lootbox when the WB die. Currently there's ton of people hitting the boss and leaving midfight to camp at the rezpad waiting for the loot. Screw them. Make it so you need to be close to the boss when it dies to receive the loot. Sure, some people will sometime die right before the end, release and be a bit frustrated because they rezzed to far away and don'thave loot but hey, **** happens. It's not like you had to wait long to try again anyway.

3) Solution a bit... weird and technical would be to give some buff instead of epic gear. Like a Buff that make you automatically receive a epic item next time you complete a raid. But I'm not convinced.

different idea: maybe have similar questline as in unchained modes in t1 and/or t2 raids which has chance to drop rare wb loots.
And why would they need to remove stuff from wb? If some random "nab" gets good quality item, then how does it harm "pros"? If your neighbour buys newer car than you have, then it's time to go buy new than he has or at least go vandalize his? Epeen jealousy rises his head again at first week of may like in every other month's first week.

different idea:increase drop rate of items drastically but add playercorpse loot in pvp. this would be sooo nice

There are plans to update all raid vendors to provide accessories and weapons (prices to be determined) and also add some more interesting items to the lower raid tier vendors to act as an incentive to go back and redo older raids

So there's already something planned to revitalize low-tiers raiding, why removing wb loot for the same goal ?
Or maybe Cirith talked about thoses epics in vendors ? I don't think so, i think it is the purpose of Gilded tokens on TL.

Disagree. You can get loot better than t2 just from playing solo in Khitai, also neglecting the learning curve. There's no reason to remove t1/t2 drops from wb.

Players who want to learn WILL learn (and do t1/t2 nevertheless), regardless of the wb drops, those who don't want to learn will not learn, they will be just pulled through the raids by more experienced players. t1/t2 isn't a challenge anymore, so 12 experienced players can pull another 12 through the raids without problems.

t3 drops are really rare so they should be kept as a motivation for the better geared players to also do the wb.

imo there's no reason to change wb loot in any way.

Funcom removed all those attunement quests 3 years ago or so, ruining the quest line.

I wouldn't mind if these quests were bought back to enrich the raid experience, but forcing 2008 veterans to go throught low tier raids is just plain wrong.

Those accessories are mostly quite crap so yes I am all for adding those as drops from T1 or T2 bosses.
