“The point, supposedly, is to make it easier for new players. I’m not sure withholding the game’s most tactical combat options is the best way to do so—especially when the increasing number of account bound systems would suggest a desire to encourage existing players to create alternate characters.”
Complaints from the community are one thing. Bad reviews from large commercial entities can be a death sentence for getting new players interested.
So, the major flaw with the new Laurel system seems to be that dailies are account bound and not character bound. I can only earn ONE Laurel per day and it will cost me 35 Laurels to get my ascended Amulet.
That’s all well and good for someone with only one max level character, I understand that max level gear should probably take some time investment to get. But the problem is that I have FIVE level 80 character that I like to keep at BiS gear. I already have all five of them in infused rings and basic backpacks (two with infused backpacks). Now you’re telling me it’s going to take FIVE MONTHS to properly gear all of my toons b/c you’ve imposed a very low-end limit on the number of Laurels one can acquire per day?
tl;dr make dailies character bound or allow us to buy amulets with pristine fractal relics (the HUNDREDS of useless pristine relics in my bank say hi). If I want to put in 5x the work to get my 80s geared in a month, I should be able to do that. I shouldn’t be forced to wait 5 months to get my characters to BiS b/c there’s an artificial limit of one Laurel per day.
