Of course they want better gear. The wow-heads have been indoctrinated that gear = skill = leetsauce. They want one shot noobs and rub in the fact that they have no life outside of the game and get off on punishing players who aren’t “hardcore” like they are. They want their time playing to be worth more than player skill. Why should someone who just started playing be able to win? DO YOUR TIME!
Theese kind of comments make my laugh my jeans off. Idiots like this should not play MMOs. You are uneducated in them and should not be making posts as you can only reference 1 or 2 games and calling people from WoW “Hardcore” in terms of pvping is blasphemy. The games you dont know like Asheron’s Call for example came out in 1999 which is probably one of the top longest running pay to play games was, and still is to an extent, based on skill over gear and they still reward you and the reward in the game is way better then in any other game ive played thus far not only do you get bragging rights you take the most valuable items from their inventory and if people do not carry more valuable items then their armor they lose some armor or weapons on top of that theese players gain a penalty to their stats which they have to earn expericence to lose and they cannot pvp for 5 mins or something like that. While like all other games that game had its flaws too theese games nowadays are crap including this one. Whats the fun in not getting any type of reward from killing someone? MMOs are slowly being turned into a kitteny generic game for people who do not want to work at all for anything. If you have even a couple hours a day you should have still been able to compete in WoW and if you put 2 geared max level characters into a 1v1 fight it still comes down to skill. Also, you are failing to see that this game in fact is a watered down(for kitten clowns like you) copy of wow with alot less content which is why its free to play. Yes i spend my time playing and it is nice to have some sort of reward to my character. Just like playing basketball with your friends. Yea you have fun but it also helps you get in shape and you get better at it the more you play…..NBA players didnt pick it up and play once a week with their friends and thats why they are better then us so please just please stop posting stupid kitten about how everyone should be equal at everything no matter how much effort they wanna put into it. I could go on for days but ill start straying from the real topic which is 90% of people who play MMOs would like to get better stuff as they progress and defeat other players in pvp.
I just don’t understand the kids these days. Wanting to be rewarded for playing a game… a good game is fun enough that you loose sight of any carrot being dangled in front of you. That model is for games that lack fun game-play. Games should be fun, the experience of playing them should be reward enough. If that’s not the case I feel bad for you. So far this game is a blast, and to be honest I think I got my 60 bucks worth within the first 3 days.
