I thought that I have everything to ge the boon Spirit of the dragon but to my surprise you just cant buy the book needed for it. You have not only to pay 50k AD but also 100 cults and 100 sigils and 100 dragon coins.Where am i going to get so many?? I mean I play every day but I only have 24! dragon coins I have like 800. What are your thoughts about this. I mean are we supposed to repeat the same quests for months over and over?? Is this not annoying players a bit too much?

You can get 6 Cult Secrets each day.
So you need about 2 and half a week to make a book. Longer if you can't farm this much.
That's indeed some time, but nothing unattainable either.

It wouldn't surprise me if Module 5 just continued the current campaign instead of adding a new one. I would suspect that's why the 4th and 5th boons in this one take so long to unlock.
Personally, I'm waiting to see what Module 5 looks like when it comes to the preview server first, before grinding my booty off for boons 4 and 5.
My suggestion:
Make the drop rates based on the number of attempts during a certain period of time to obtain the drop. This percentage will get lower the more attempts someone is doing within a given period of time. In addition, show that percentage so that people dont attempt to farm the impossible. I am sure that this would make the game more attractive for more causal players.
Unfortuately that suggestion will probably not be implemented

- Better rewarding foundry and foundry pvp maps
- Custom PvP leagues with leaderboards instead of the current 'matchmaking'.
- Armory
- make jumping cost stamina (to reduce hopping in pvp)

I do have to agree, I have a feeling that the next "expansion" if it will be called module 5 will just be a continuation of what we have now, or a small addition to it.
In the end, I think the Dead Ring still had the most favorable way to power through a campaign. At least each day I could see myself moving towards a reachable goal.
I do hope module 5 will just introduce endgame and no more dailies/heroic encounters because we already have enough of that
I second this emotion.

At first I was excited at the prospect of new modules. We would finally get more endgame step by step.
The past 4 modules are just more dailies and more grinding. What are we working for exactly? Are we gonna be new PVP modes or raids in the future as a pay-off from all these dailies, or is this it?
My verdict zero success in RNG department! If i wouldn't love the games other aspects, the last two campaigns could go to oblivion.
Still my all time favorites, Mod 1 and 2, there you could get decent drops for fresh chars and grind gear easily, boons also were every bodies to take, no RNG monster to fight.
I wish that Mod 5 would go back to older Mods style.

The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.

I second this. I was lucky to get the BI gloves on my main char before they nerfed the drop rates, but I am in no mood to grind that gear on my other toons. The Rhemo/Beholder is still contantly swarmed by ~20 players and its hard if not impossible for my lower geared toons to even get a great success there. With the drakes its the same... the drop rates are so incredible low, I have only obtained a handful of cosmetic stuff on my 2 chars which I am doing that campaign (and they usually have always a great success). Because of this I am now only focusing on professions to get AD and buy the stuff from the AH: Log in, professions & praying, do a couple of dailies and log off again. I refuse being treated on the same level as those farmbots which can compensate low RNG with playtime.
Indeed, for what are we farming if not for the purpose to keep up in PvP? In my opinion all boons and enchants could be disabled for PvP anyways.

they are bound
What? the books?
No, the books are never bound no matter where you get them.
I thought he was referring to the sigils...
About buying the boon unlock books from the AH... personally I won't. Like the current module, I think it is going to be similar campaign completion pack. At the current prices, buying the pack for 5000 zen or 2.5 million AD for is far cheaper than spending 4.5 million AD just to unlock 2 boons.
I feel that people should stop trying to make the game more tedious and grindy. You should be able to go there as soon as you have the GS, it just makes grinding alts a pain since I can't work on all campaigns at the same time.
How is that proposition making the game more tedious ?
Right now, the entry ticket for IWD is 10K GS + 3rd boon from Sharandar OR Dread Ring. How adding 3rd boon from ToD makes things more "grindy" ?
Enorla, Oh so devoted cleric.
Because I can't start IWD as soon as getting a 3rd boon from dread ring which I can use campaign treasures to get faster, and the faster I can start a campaign I can work on them all at the same time. Also I can choose not to even get the 3rd boon at all in ToD on some characters, why should I be forced to do ToD when I don't have to now? What would be the point in making it harder to get into IWD if not to just antagonize players? I don't see how anyone would benefit.
It's actually pretty easy to get to three ToD boons as you level a new character, so that would get you into IWD faster than requiring Shar or DR.
I did mean the books. That's good news. For some, this might be a great way to make a couple million AD. Here's hoping the price drops to around a million a piece.
Anything that limits players playing the game is a bad idea. I promise you more people would complain about this than are complaining about its current situation.

in M1 we had unique items that could only be obtained by much luck - the BoP off-hand.
in M2 we had the unique artifact drop, the Eye of Lathander, and we again had the BoP off-hand.
in M3 we got the drops from beholders/rhemohaz; again BoP items
All these were unobtainable without much luck. A lot of players asked for a way to BUY - for whatever price - these items if RNG hates us.
Now, we got the possibility, if we are unlucky, to grind our way WITH CERTAINTY to certain items that might just as well drop from a boss.
Please, stop complaining if your calls for buy options are heeded!
Yes, it is expensive. But it should not be available to be bought after a month, rather after several months of no luck in eLoL/eSoT.
