Faction armor Purchasable


Like many veteran players, I have a few alts. Most are well geared at this time, but most are missing one piece of armor from K6s that either noone runs or I have been unlucky and not acquired.

Any ranger missing tiger belt?
Heavy missing tiger's hands?
Healer missing Summoner's hands?

Rares are not an issue as I have over 2000 waiting to be spent with nothing really appealing. Moa's are well stocked as well. This is a situation that many players are finding themselves in.

By making all items purchasable, for a reasonable price, many players would be able to get that last elusive piece. Has making the pants purchasable reduced the number of Yag groups?

----------------------------------------------------

Finally updated my character spreadsheet. While I have more than six toons, I primarily play these six toons. Just for fun, I added up the marks of acclaim, rare trophies,and imperial insignias.

Currently have:

Rare trophies 3901
Marks of Acclaim 24546
Imperial Insignia 34414


It seems that I have done a few quests and dungeons, but I am still missing pieces on most of my toons.

Please make armor sets purchasable. Thanks.


----------------------------------------------------

It seems the last few weeks have been good in terms of picking up that last piece or two from several of the dungeons. I was on the right toon at the right time.

Purchasing gear is not about skipping dungeons but avoiding grinding out one instance for a piece of gear that many have seen drop but gone to rot.

I have several toons that need a piece for RoF, Palace and Pillars. These are instances that I do often (daily) but have not gotten the luck of the drop / roll.

Please edit your post instead of making a new one.

But isn't "grinding" what MMOs are known for? When I started playing AoC; I knew there'd be an aspect of grinding involved ~

I'm a vet too but have embraced the fact that MMOs have the grind aspect and believe that the people who are willing and able to do the grind deserve their gear/items ~ having cash on hand shouldn't make you excel in a game ~ when that starts; people get invited to Raid Tiers they have NO BUSINESS being in

I AM NOT an advocate of this thread ~

I can add HoX BB belt to the list...

But I disagree with you...I believe the reason people are complaining they dont have these items is simple. Those dungeons are a little bit harder than the usual flame/vortex/palace noob farm run.

So ppl pls dont be lazy and do some more challenging HMs

I would like to see the items drop from more than one place. Especially some of the items that drop in 6mans that are rarely if ever done anymore.

More importantly, fix Jade Dugout and Pillars of Heaven in such a way so that more people do them.

I have a collector's mindset and those two dungeons are the hardest to get a group going for.

U are playing 50% of the game, thats why u feel bored.

1) reason number 1 why "pvers" dont like pvp = its personal. u will get dissed and spited and trash talked as a person, if main source of pvp would be guild x guild, no1 would care of getting rezpad camped.

2) completely separation of pve and pvp: thats terrible, its one game, and should be looked as it.

3) aoc players dont wanna a challenge: thats why 99% of the strats are from GM's or QA testers. At least on US there isnt a single guild that creates their own strat, they lick from EU guilds that licks from GM's and QA. If we were all discovering strats from our own, we would be still on toth amon.

4) 99% of aoc players play too much: for real, most gameplay time comunity i ever saw. most games i played servers were basically empty during the day. on aoc u can find hardcore 6 mans going on at hte middle of the day.

maybe they work second shift which would allow them to play during the day. Not everyone is a 9-5'er

Secondly, or rather your 3 point is not true. I know when HoC came out WE where in there figuring it out ourselves. EU SHOULD have a better progression rate anyways do to the bigger population

i miss hox bb belt i have run the dungeon numorous times dropped 1 time other hox got it. and its pretty hard find a group for that dungeon. not cause its hard cause people exploited it in the start and have all they need from it. i blame funcom for there broken ban hammer that many dungeons in rotgs dont get played much cause they where exploitable at start and people now simply only run the easy dungeons for tokens.

I agree with allowed the items to be purchased. Raise the cost on them like the pants are if you want. I had made this same suggestion to Craig not long ago but I had no idea he was on his way out of the game at the time. Khitai has been out long enough. No need to keep having some items be elusive just due to bad luck as far as normal Faction items are concerned.
