Stronghold artifact weapon

If I have to buy any more cubes of augmentation I'm leaving this game.

I'm not buying them off the AH also giving some guy with rank 12 vip my AD

How the hell are people expected to pay 50,000 ad to have the CHANCE at getting the class feature they need when making AD in this game is dead.

    AD generation is not dead, it is just longer and more time consuming, so that when you are nearly at your goal with your gear they release another bit of DLC with new gear that takes ages to acheive the final goals etc rinse and repeat.

    By making it long winded they get the impatient ppl to pay for zen and buy items of market or convert it to AD.

    Welcome to a great free game that is in the process of being ruined by greed.

    I spent lots of money on this game, I won't spend any more until they fix server issues and give us a decent PC like ui on Xbox. The one we suffer with right now looks like HAMSTER in comparison with PC. Lots of money.

    There is also not much point in running t2's because there isn't any real loot to sell and once you have enough seals to get your stronghold armor it will be time wasted running them, when you could be farming for for stuff you need.

    Dont worry you will need rank 16 stronghold which assuming you always have the resources needed (ahahahahahahahah) will require 136 days worth of building times... You have much time to farm those ads

    Just get your elven armor first, as stated above it will take ages to get dragonflight/stronghold gear so do your thing, grind those mats and be patient.

    Honestly some people should not even be playing MMO`s with their mind set. Its a game, just play it save up some AD over time and get some cubes every now and then.

    Everyone needs to just stop rushing and wanting everything instantly.

    How can you think spending 50k AD at having a CHANCE at 1 in 12 class features is fair?

    Its fair because it is free??

    I do not understand the problem... My off-hand level 70 weapon unfortunately had the very last power I needed to unlock... Imagine the amount of cubes... But it happened and RNG was bad to me on that occasion. Also you can pick up cubes for less than 10k each, sometimes people sell some in bulk as well at a discount so look out for that. My 1st Off-hand lv60 weapon the very 1st power was the one I wanted, then the 1st stat roll was +391. Win some lose some no point in moaning about it.

    Another option is find a friend who has VIP, they get a discount from the WB shop and can buy them for less than 10k each.

    Nothing is free. Don't be so naive.

    I play on multiple chars and have spent over 2 mil ad so far on augment cubes. So unlike you I have a valid reason for "moaning" about paying 50k a pop for a chance at getting the class feature I need. Also considering the amount of AD you can earn now has shrank considerably the prices in the WB are unrealistic.

    buying cheep augment cubes or any cheep item from the WB on the AH is not a solution and the people with rank 12 vip should not be allowed to buy cheep from the WB and sell high on the AH, doesn't seem like the time currency the devs were taking about when they took AD away from leadership.

    This game is FREE-TO-PLAY. You can cry and try and say its not, but it is. If you feel like you NEED to spend money, then you don't know how to play your character properly. OR you just want to take the easy way out. This kind of game is all about grinding, not buying stuff.
  • wdj40wdj40 Member Posts: 1,958 Arc User
    How do you know anything about me? How do you have a valid reason and I do not? The only difference is you complain when things do not go your way it seems. Also I am not naïve how very dare you, I have spent £10 in this game as I CHOSE to, I was not forced to, I did not need to, I actually wanted to in support of the game. EVERYTHING I have earned in-game is by playing it and you should see how kitted out my main is.

    I guarantee you I have spent far more AD in game than you have... I have 8 characters and 2million AD is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

    Honestly you sounded like a butthurt child with your original post... I bet any money that if you happened to unlock the power you wanted on the 2nd try none of this thread would have happened. Its RNG get over it dude... either carry on grinding (which is just about what every RPG entails) and playing the game or leave and find something new, really its as simple as that.

    There are ways to earn AD still... go out and actually find them, run some dungeons and skirmishes each day etc etc, gear drops like crazy from the new dungeons which you can salvage, I already have about 30-40 items ready to salvage on the next double AD day.

    I really did not mean any of my previous post to sound rude by the way, I`m not very good with wording things something.

    You read and understood nothing I've said.

    I never claimed to know anything about you. So you spend $10 on this game, irreverent to this discussion.

    No 2 mil isn't a lot in the grand scheme of this things but I'm not talking about the grand scheme of things.

    I'm not asking for way to earn AD I'm talking about the price of augment cubes and only having a 1 in 12 chance. I don't need to be told to run dungeons to earn ad.

    So far you contribution to this discussion is to get somebody with level 12 vip and buy them from them. I've already explained why I think that is flawed.
  • wdj40wdj40 Member Posts: 1,958 Arc User
    I did not say buy from them and lose out did I?

    I meant buy from them for the amount they pay... I would gladly get you some Cubes for non-profit and I am VIP (also earned by just playing the game by the way).

    When it comes down to it you are not complaining about the price of cubes... as if you had the right power 1st or 2nd time I doubt you would have come on here to complain. As it is RNG has failed on you and that is really deep down what the complaint is about.

    Also if you actually check out the AH I very much doubt anyone with VIP would actually make a profit on those cubes, after the % is taken from the AH the end amount is tiny and not even really worth the time to do it. If they did make a profit selling the cubes on the AH then I blame the buyer really.

    Or you could even be civil about it and maybe try a post asking for a trade politely, or maybe join a decent guild with 100 people all wanting to help each out (some of my cubes were literally given to me by new found friends). Some people may trade cubes for things you have and do not want etc etc.

    Your original post threatening to quit the game is one of many ways you could have gone about things, in my eyes it feels like this game and any with a loooooong grind is maybe not for you is all.

    Out of curiousity (spell check sorry) how many hours do you have in the game?
