Preservation Ward Purchases

Anyone who previously bought preservation wards before MOD 22 really got taken to the cleaners. If PW properly communicated how useless preservation wards would become, I never would have purchased two 99 stacks of preservation wards. Trying to upgrade anything using preservation wards will simply take 2000 Zen out of your pocket.

I just wanted to communicate as someone whose spent thousands on the game that it's pretty petty to do this to the player base. Unlike before the mod preservation wards had value, and now you might as always use a cw since preservations wards are mostly useless.

Just wanted to communicate my thoughts!

To the company leadership, I suggest you test the impacts of your actions prior to making major changes. It's really harmful to the community of players who put a lot and time, effort, and MONEY into their characters! Without us, you are not profitable!

    1. Sell them in AH.
    2. Use them to upgrade future Artifact and Artifact Equipment.
    3. Never pay full price to buy anything in Zen store. At least, always use a coupon. Or, wait for Zen store sales.

    My point was they got preservation ward greedy with this mod. Try upgrading a few things to mythic and you'll quickly realize it's now a lot more expensive, and you're now pretty much better off using CW's at the end. Historically this is NOT the way the refinement system worked in the past.

    That depends on how far the past you want to go. Historically, before they put the counter to cap the try (which actually is relatively 'new'), C-ward was the only way to go to do 1% to 3%. You could do 200+ p-ward and still failed.
    With the try cap change, that made c-ward less useful. At one point, I actually had much more c-ward than p-ward.

    And to add insult to injury they now are no longer "refinement" items. I just got a 20% off any refinement item coupon from invoking bag, and it doesn't apply to pres wards anymore.

    Did they do this because they allow us to get them free from Reapers?

    Actually, it is still cheaper to upgrade artifacts and gears via pres wards rather than coal mote

    Yes for artifacts, but my point was they screwed us over again, by making pres wards not refinement now. The 20% off refinement coupon doesn't work anymore on pres wards.

    Use 20% off any item coupon which still works for p-ward.
