< Not necessarily. I have (had, ran out a few days ago) rank 5 VIP. On only one occasion have I earned enuff AD from selling lockbox drops to afford the next months VIP. I usually end up with 400 - 500 zen. Halfway there, but still it's a lot of grind to make up the difference.
Except for the feet & rings, which I gather drop from fishing... the prices are not much better on AH. 40k - 100k for non feet pieces. The vendor sells from 43k- 57k.
Do your daily invokes as often as you can. Even if you only invoke 1time per day, every 11 days you buy a chest with a chance of a coalescent ward. Save your chests for 2x refinement events if you can. Some players save up & buy stacks of preservation wards to invoke. It CAN help if you are RNG lucky. Or it can be a waste…

Ugh... CW's dodge is the suck, at least for me. When my toon dodges, I pause for 1/2 a second at he end of the teleport. This has gotten me killed so many times.
"FACT I advocated THAT PEOPLE BE GIVEN A BASIC LOW LEVEL SET COSTING 0 GLORY FREE! !!!!!!!!!!!and a chance to improve it and that they be placed with people with similar sets 0 grind time therefore no excuses .. that why the first set should be free !!!" instead you chose to go into a tangents on elaborate explanations of…
Fact - average glory gain for a PvP ''loser'' that only earns the 600 points for cap trading... 125 glory Fact - cost of Basic PvP gear (lvl 60) 4,000 glory per piece? 32,000 glory total Fact - number of matches required to earn Basic PvP gear = 256 yeah... too lazy, that must be it. The tenacity for the basic lvl 60 PvP…
It would be cool... if we puggers didn't have to get roflstomped by premades until we ''gg'', maybe we could actually play PvP? That would be a nice change of pace.
Ugh... tenacity? Really? You think tenacity is the reason why pre-mades roflstomp pug groups? It couldn't have anything to do with the SH boons? OR the legendary mount bonus'? Rank 12 enchantments? Legendary artifact? Or the 2TR, 2 DC buff groups? Tenacity? You are right. A solo queue will not prevent a tenacity imbalance…
If those are the standards, I haven't had a "good game" since lvl 41. That's when I gave up daily PvP attempts, after 6 weeks without earning any rewards. Not without a win, but because we were unable to accumulate the 600 points necessary to earn ANY rewards.
Ugh... I would NOT describe the CW's as great dodgers. Maybe it's just me being laaag-tastic, but my CW ends up pausing for ~0.5 sec @ the end of teleport. Queue the death knell.
I think the point was that since VIP'ers pay no fee to post an item on AH, they can afford to throw it up for a huge cost. They don't have to eat a 5k - 10k AD posting fee if it doesn't sell.
Yes, that is what I was asking. Several posters have mentioned changing PvP rewards so that only the winning team benefits. This would absolutely kill PvP. If Lvling players, or even lvl 70's that have not yet achieved BiS, cannot get glory rewards, what is the point of PvP? No win = no rewards = no progress. Why play if…
The difference is, when I buy a bag... the bag shows up in my mailbox. This is not always the case with PvP rewards. How many runs am I supposed to do every day to get that reward?
Let's be honest... the pug players don't care about rings/drains. In the end it doesn't matter the least bit if I die from 1hit with full AP or without. The only exception is the ambush rings which... if you are lucky... can keep you from getting 1-shot long enuff to cap for points. Before you get 1-shot while running away.
I can't speak to why "the community" left... I know what did it for me - 6 weeks with no rewards, no rewards @ all, for my 2 - 3 match daily run. I had a pretty good run in PvP prior to lv 33 - 35. I didn't win much, but sometimes & I was slowly getting closer to getting an actual boon reward. Then 3 things happened. The…
you can only grind for a couple hours on Saturday afternoons... I still got plenty of time for whining :smile: There is a "i need banner" channel... you can sit & talk with up to a dozen ppl also trying to run the event while your not queueing for SH seige
