Derp.

It is basically just another admission from ssg, that they cannot come up with anything new and meaningful, but that they do want our cash badly no?

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

And someone in another thread called ME delusional recently!

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

There are plenty of companies that sell poor value merchandise at an inflated price, I have no problem with SSG selling anything.  Please feel free to purchase multiples of this fine box, you have my blessing.

Maybe you should consult them on their marketing and sales? If you cannot see who their sales are targeted towards then I have a bridge to sell you.

Yes, please do because if I am a player willing to spend 7000 points on a box I am also buying and only using sovereign pots so superiors are just more crap in my inventory.  And they are cunts for putting those discovery pots in there, making that box and the gold rolls the only way to get them.  Although on the other hand, I am glad that P2W shit is basically not buyable.

For some people in the time they spend to get that xp they  make more money than what the box costs, so it's worth it if they don't have any fun XPing and want the PL benefit.

Even more worth it is to not buy the PL with cash and not spend time XPing for it either, but people spend money on worse things anyways such as whores so wathever

Your DDO points and xp purchases will reflect the truth.

For me it's about not paying good money for a shit sandwich.  FFS 60 bucks for one fucking epic past life, 60 bucks for 3 PRR or 3 HP?  And then SSG can't be bothered to include sovereign pots instead of majors, Personally, I already have a nice stack of those from the boxes I have already opened, which is only around 5, but they sit in my fucking bank, did I say fuck.  Epic lives are soooo easy and fast.  Hit the dailies, Grim, thunderholme, and maybe the orchard.  It's cool if you are willing to reward SSG for punching you in the dick, but I did as much of that as I can personally stomach buying the top RL expansion pack because I really wanted the mist bottle, and I do love it.  It's one of the best QoL items in the game IMO.  The normal Epic box should have been upgraded to 4K xp and the improved should have had 6K xp, and sovereign pots.  But, I've resigned myself to the fact that nothing new offered in the post turbine DDO Store with be without the aftertaste of shit.

lmao aint this the truth. I know people can get caught up in the min/maxing game but damn. Gotta wake up and see this shit. I recently talked my buddy out of dropping $500+ on Otto's boxes for 4 racial points. Just isnt worth it.
