I think the biggest problem is people expect it to just drop after killing enough, or enough time investment. The truth is, it’s really really rare. You can’t expect it to just drop for you. They are supposed to take legendary effort to aquire, not something everyone gets after playing 2000 hours.

Those people who get multiple precursors are usually the ones spending tons on forging them. If you haven’t dropped 1k gold worth of exotics/rares in the forge, then i really don’t feel sorry for you. If you have gone through this process, then you chose to gamble and take that route, when you could of just bought it. I used to forge a lot, and i know the forges rgn is a real gamble. I do support taking the rgn out of forging it, but not to make it cheaper and more accessible.

Spoken like someone who has something to lose if precursor crafting were ever put into the game.

That’s spoken like someone who believes in conspiracy theories about precursor market being manipulated. Every flipper can immediately look at the profit margin of precursors and come to the conclusion that there’s no money to be made there without holding them for 6 months.

I loose nothing if precursors plummit. It will only disgust me seeing everyone with them, having mass particle effects & auras everywhere, and them loosing any prestige they’ve had.

Sure, it’s more legendary if you get it after a few try at the Mystic Toilet while you played less than 100 hours.

Or people who get multiple precursors while killing mobs. Everybody knows at least one guy like that in their friendlist.

You do realize that getting a precursor is not equals to having a legendary ? People tend to forget that there are 3 gifts of grinding.

New mystic forge recipe:

3 queen jenna minis + 3 ectos + 3 clovers = random precursor

1 recipe, 2 problems solved!

Many players are just jealous of the 1% of lucky players this happens to. Then they blow it out of proportion, and make a big deal about it. Rgn will always bless a few quickly, that’s why they call it random. Like i said i’d support making a system that takes rgn out of precursers.

Sure. Whatever. The only people who defend bad game design usually have something to lose if it changes. I’m not saying there is an elite few controlling the market, just that people who make a lot of gold on the market would be unhappy if that’s taken away from them, and thus, defend terrible game design.

These posts are both entertaining and a bit disturbing (from a psychological point of view). I sure hope some of these in-game ideals and beliefs don’t translate to real world ones…..

How about something like, 250 Mystic Clovers, 100 Bloodstone Bricks, 100 Empyrean Stars, and a Gift of <Precursor> (new item that is craftable, recipe bought from Miyani and similar to the other Gifts of recipes).

This would help remove excess bloodstone, and empyrean from the game. It would also help to create more Tier 6 mats to help prevent the costs of those mats from skyrocketing. It will, however, cause the price of ectos to go up. Then of course whatever mats would be needed to create the gift of precursor, which I think should be similar to crafting an ascended weapon already.

Of course you can still obtain by random drop, from the Mystic Toilet, or by buying from the TP. Crafted Precursors come account/soulbound to keep from inflating the market.

What ever happened to them releasing the craftable precursors? I know that was one of the many things they mentioned, and failed to deliver, as wanting to release before the new year. Has it not been brought back up or the idea scrapped? I just started playing again after 5-6 months away so i’m a bit behind on the happenings.

Pretty much, they are working on it, but no ETA on delivery.

I really have no desire for a precursor anymore as I no longer desire any legendaries. I used my gold for full heavy berserker ascended armor.
