What do you think?

You’ll be level 50 and you’ll not know how to play. People like this who but these high levels only pollute the pool of players who really worked for their level 50. People, who actually made it to 50 on their own, will notice later on when they want to make a party the people no longer know what to do, where to stack, or to range or other things…

Also 15 gold makes a run worth 10-20 additional gold for the duo/trio who ran the fractal. It’s mostly because people are willing to pay rediculous amounts these things exist, and due to these amounts more people will be sucked into selling.

Personally I do not mind path sellers too much, but this will destroy the level of the player base. You’ll have people being level 50 who are actually AR-less (see also the note, AR not needed.)…. These people will eventually join level 50+ parties and cause a toxic enviroment when the added fractal levels are released, and the Legendary backpack will arrive, which will instanly be a devaluated achievement if you’d be owning it.

It will mean the legendary backpacks have devalued from legendary to trading post items. And people using it will comparable to those buying Eternity from the TP….
So much for possible epicness….

The legendary backpack doesn’tr even exist ingame yet and already it’s befouled.

Level 38, been level 38 before the fractured release…. Ony pugging.
And I ran 40+ before, no actual lvl 50’s though,….. I have multiple characters with 50+ AR

23 lvl 80’s, 9 times map, 4ele, 4ncr, 3war, 3grd, 3rgr, 2thf, 2msm, 1eng, 1 rev.
Been There, Done That & Will do it again…except maybe world completion.

I guess that’s why Fractals have such horrible rewards, because you can sell the spots

I thought the only difference between levels was how difficult it is, and how much AR you need. What’s the point in artificially raising your level to something you can’t actually complete?

Higher personal level = higher reward
And this is a good way to farm fractal weapons and other fractal only stuff without the need to play xx hours each day in this boring gameplay content.

At which time did you see these offers? I’m on EU Server playing usually between 5pm and 10pm MESZ and I search since ~5 month each day for such offers and just can’t find any in the lfg tool?

There are many of these offers, sadly.

I would never pay 20 Gold for a lvl 50 fractal, that´s for one way overpriced, look at Arah prices in comparison. On the other hand, Fractals are much more easy to learn than Arah, so it´s a waste of money. And it indeed does make the community of Fractal Runners look bad in general.

I would think about the ls2 season successes also offered there if I didn´t have friends who can run this garbage with me, without me wanting to gouge my own eyes out to be honest.

Edit:
Btw Bomber, outdated argument is outdated. fractal weapons will be much easiser to come by with HoT as far as i know.

Same here, I play on EU-servers and never see those selling spots. Not that I use them, but just never saw them.

If I’m personal reward level 11, and I pay 20g for that
Not only am I getting massively ripped off, but I am only rewarded at the level of 11, and my personal reward level only goes to 12, is that correct?

I guess if you were level 49ish or 50 and just needed a quickrun for daily or something, otherwise I don’t even see the point. >.<

Trust me you are unlikely to meet people who buy fractals in…. fractals. They mostly buy it for convenience.

Also leveling in FOTM is painful

Also you are about a year late to the party

Also hit me up in game if you wanna buy runs

Yes, it is correct. Only a complete moron or totally new player would pay 20 gold for a rise from lvl 11 to 12.
And no, it is also not suitable for a daily. A single fractal daily can be of any level, and to buy a complete run of lvl 41-50 for a daily is such a waste of money that I would be lost for words if someone had actually done this. Well, maybe if you are really rich and really bored…

It’s for level 49s who want an easy way to get to 50 without spending money on the AR, if they don’t plant to do a 50 themselves.

Also, there will be an achievement for getting to reward level 50 before HoT, apparently. This probably has an impact on this kind of market.
