Making enchantments/items OP to sell them loses money for the game, not makes it

Granted some people will spend to get ridiculously OP stuff but I contend that it loses money for the game due to an even greater amount of people quitting that would be apt to spend if things were balanced and perhaps more importantly bring in their friends and others to play who also would be apt to spend. People who spend money would most likely spend to get the top gear even if it were a little better so OP doesn't really matter in terms of those who seek to have the best of everything. Keeping things unbalanced through OP gear just causes a vast number of players to quit and with prejudism enough to take their buddies with them.

    OP Items is a sentence used by people who are too lazy to work on their own gear and are extremely jealous of players who paid money to get them faster.

    If you are talking about Tene enchants, you can get those from AH/ Through Lock boxes and keys Which are also on AH.

    This is a free to play game, so ofcourse people who pays money will get things faster than people who actually don't. Doesn't mean it is impossible for non-Paying Players to get it, it will just require them more effort.

    OP = over powered and to my knowledge has nothing to do with how fast they are to get or whether they are for cash or not

    There are no OP items...Only tene enchants and they aren't that OP if you think about it.

    Yep, tenebrous are only somewhat good for PvP as they provide instant burst. However they diminish greatly if the battle lasts more than 5 seconds.

    At worst case scenario, let's assume 7x Tenebrous at 30k HP. This is 7x(30000*.3) = 6300 extra damage every 20 seconds. This could easily be obtained by an extra crit attack or power instead, which is why *NO* PvE player rolls with these.

    Honestly, with the recent nerfs to tenebrous and GPF, i'm surprised people are still complaining about these.
