How is this raid gear on easy mode? Spending time doing 25 missions is easy mode?
Compare the gear

The raid version has
1045 hps, 1145 mana and fire focus of 90%?
The MM version has
906 hps, 904 mana and fire focus of 80%?
the raid gear is still on top. Would someone please show me these mythical items that made raid gear obsolete????
I was smurf excited to finally get a chance to upgrade my mainhand 1hb to something meaningful since silk caster classes got hosed for mainhand upgrades in SoD. Now your bitching and moaning got those upgrades nerfed...thanks alot you uber smurf. Heaven forbid some lowely grouper should have gear that is 80% of yours huh???
hehe, I don't consider myself a hardcore raider at all. I didn't have my panties in a bunch, my only complaint was what Absor said confirmed, is that the gear is better than the best underfoot would have had to offer at end game group gear, and it would defeat the purpose of progressing through the expansion for a some people, and then all the sudden we have an expansion where a large percentage of people that geared up in the MMs quit because they have nothing else to progress toward for very potentially multiple expansions to come.
If you actually followed my previous posts, considering I was the one that created the topic, and READ what I said at the topic creation, and my post after that. I never once said that they should take away the
raid stats of it, and was hoping that if they toned it down, they would tone it down to crystallos/FoS
RAID level quality hehe. I think you're the one that has the greatest problem. You're just as bad as the raiders that are lashing out, except in the opposite direction. I see you lashing out at me, but have I lashed out at you, or groupers, or any of that? Nope. I was actually saying that IF it got toned down it should still have raid stats, if at a lower quality.
I've never once complained that groupers don't deserve some sort of path of being able to get gear at or close to a raid level without the requirement to actually raid constantly.
All I was saying was that I think that if something like that were introduced, they should make it a long flagging process just like guilds need to go through to flag for themselves, except the only difference would be that the keying/flagging process could be done with single groups instead of full raids.
But you're entitled to your opinion, and I won't argue that you're wrong, and there may be an MMO that comes out in the future that will actually introduce a way that actually works to have group and raid gear be equivelant, but still make it appealing enough that guilds still want to actually raid yet. You don't need to see and agree with my opinion, or the devs for that matter, just like how I don't have to agree with your opinion either. But is the lashing out really necessary lol? The devs are the ones that ultimately make the decisions about the game, and even IF there wasn't such an outcry, I'm inclined to think that the devs probably would have been toning stuff down on their own even without the sperging out on both sides lol.
Sorry that I've angered you so much, it wasn't my intention.
