Invocation 7 day reward

Wow! I have been on the fence about the new refinement system, but now, with the 7 day reward change.... I cannot believe they diluted the loot to the current level. I used to think it was bad when I went 2 weeks without a coal ward between all my toons, now I did not get a single preservation ward...

Well, I think I am going to ride out the changes on this game. every improvement seems a step backwards and now, just even more of a blatant money grab. I am feeling they will microtrans this game out of business before I will see the return on the large sum of cash I have already dropped in this game in hopes they will start to improve things...

Just another huge step back.

    I have 7 ( 1 main and 6 pray/leadership alts) and before mod 2 I got an average of 1 coal per week off them , or to put another way it was unusual not to get a coal and even if I didn't at least I got a bunch of preservation wards , since mod 2 I've only had trash.

    The 7 day coffer is now useless, you get better value out of the 5 day professions coffer.

    Loot rolls are also totally screwed up, particularly if you're a HR, out of the entire Rothe Valley Zone, killing everything on the map at least twice, I got about 4 helmets 2 bows, 2 gauntlets and not 1 single set of boots, I DID get 53,000 useless green rings, belts and necklaces ... Oh and a wonderful Silvery Enchant, for killing a Boss!!! ... Hoop yeah.

    Thus far from 7 characters(and 13 coffers), I've received...10 peridots, 1 preservation ward(which irritatingly, doesn't stack with my unbound pre mod2 wards) and 2 aquamarines. Not a coal ward in sight.

    after posting this, i felt a bit like a whiner. i do really love this game, but it seems like they keep shooting themselves or the customer in the foot. I had 8 toons, down to 6 because i deleted 2 inventory toons and i have not gotten a coal ward in a long time. I was happy with the preservation wards though. It seems to me that the failure rate is much higher too.

    yeah, and the fact that all this stuff is bound to account is even worse. I guess they assume you will crunch everything right away, but it does not always work that way and the new system eats up even more inventory space.

    Well the upside is i will not really care if i miss on an invocation or 2 now. The draw to do so has been removed.

    Coal does drop, albeit rarely it seems on the 7 day. My new HR received one from his first 7 day invoke coffer. My other five characters received refinement drops (peridot and the like) or straight up enchantments.

    I've so far opened 12coffers and got 0wards.

    But hey, on the upside you can find these incredible rare ( nowdays ) coalscent wards from Zen-Market! Each one is only 1000ZEN a piece so it's as cheap as it's almost free!!! Or you can get lockboxes and get tarmalune bars and buy with them. You can't lose! FREE TO PLAY!!

    I wouldn't call you a whiner for complaining about this change. This is a serious blow to players trying to craft higher level stuff. I feel like its a bad move and a bit of a slap in the face.

    Otherwise like you I do enjoy this game, but changes like this run people off...

    I was alright with the change until I realized the marks of potency are nearly non-existent
