Not sure why this is leveled at Millennials. I have met far more shitty entitled 40 year olds.


my parent's baby boomer generation is more entitled than any other group of people I've ever met. And they're happy to be so entitled at the cost of future generations, including their own children. And they're mean and condescending about it.

Just thinking of getting to Chains, OoB, and AdQ makes me never want to see Sands, ever.

Ha, if there's one item that provokes my spite into action it's that fucking Torc. I have three, and I have the runs that you'd imagine that took. All those long, dull, robotic re-flags each time, just to get back in that five second raid... so for a moment - before I check myself - I wish no-one ever gets any free Torcs. Smiley

Edit: Bloody hell nope it's four isn't it, oh god. I'm so glad they don't report properly on total raids run.

XP token would be cool, but realistically, how much time does it really save? You can make 100k XP with a couple runs of VoN3 and an XP pot.

A real winner would be Shards from the old Shard/Seal/Scroll epic items.

BtA (so not tradeable/ auctionable, as if that matters) and would get some of the old items back in circulation, or at least let some long suffering grinders get their eSoS. It's still not super great because you'd still need the seal and Scroll to complete the item regardless of the "Mana from Heaven" shard gift.

It's also on target with the rationale they used for including the VoM and Mantle of the Worldshaper: Let people who have one piece but not the other finish their augment.

Win-Win.

Which is why it's not happening.  Cry


Anything they add has to be BtC, it's one of their requirements when choosing.  B/c infinite alts.

I understand the prevailing thought on it but I still have a Pal without a SoS and I'd swap the quiver. All about taste, innit. I wonder if they'd consider a crunching recipe to burn something you've picked and give you a token back. (Arf.) Anyway, it's not the end of the world as you say. Just I'd have made a different choice with full information, too much to ask of the current crop it seems.


Yes!  Then I can take all the hellfire crossbows I have and crunch them for tokens.  I see chronoscope runs in the LFMs increasing 1,000,000%.

I would love a Torc. Would actually make me play heroics just to use the item. Wouldnt make me flag for that raid though. Just thinking of getting to Chains, OoB, and AdQ makes me never want to see Sands, ever.


I didn't think Nubbinns was a casual.

Dude... just make and transfer infinite quivers. In 3 hours you'll have every item on the list. Faster, if you can find a better way then I used.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I sure as hell thought they were, but with 5 hellfires buming around alts and the quori only really good for 2 levels anyway I wasn't exactly in a race to take either of those things Tongue Sure do wish the red dragon helm were BtA though! Got one on my joke character at least.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

Having recently rolled through several servers to check all my alts and then roll a few more to fill the stable, I can safely say that anyone who wants to delete/reroll for infinite tokens is welcome to them.

If you assume that even mashing buttons through character generation, it'd take hours to do during a limited time event, my logic would be "fugggit."

This is the attitude they take for TP grinding: Anyone who wants to grind it out is welcome to do so. Most people value their time more highly than imaginary items or even money.

You are completely correct of course, I am once again just awestruck by the inability of this staff to see the bigger picture.

I definitely believe one of the earlier posts (too lazy to go back and quote) was right:

A lot of hostile office politics and hubris.

I would LOVE to get an eSoS shard FINALLY. The shard is the hardest part to get, even moderately grinding for the shard will net you multiples of the item, heroic SoS is not exactly highly sought after(though it is pretty nice at level).


Yes.

You never run 2 of the best epic xp/min quests in the game because you can't read a map? Sure, screw chains, but whining that you can't find quests is pure noobsauce.

Made 6 quivers with disposable toons, and had planned on waiting on the others to see if anyone finds a way to use them.

Word from podcasts is end of March for the end of turn ins.  As abrupt and end there was to all the events this time, might be sooner.

Just to be clear,this refers to both turning in the free anniversary tokens and to running the anniversary challenge quest and cashing in the party favor tokens,right?
Correct.



it can't be more clear : you can farm Partycrasher redux, and turn in your token at least until the last day or march.
Probably a bit longer...
