Greater Black Ice Belt & Cloak insanity

Greater Black Ice art set is the only 70 lvl art set, which can ONLY be obtained through mining and processing black ice. Other art set have already flooded AH (dropping from lockboxes and HE), they can also be bought with Linu.
What is the point behind that insanity? Do devs reeally believe people would spend all their playing time in IWD mining half a million of black ice and then processing it for several days?
Dear devs. Please stop making this game a nolife experience. First: forcing people to invoke 6x a day, now that 500.000 black ice stupidity.
Really. How much more?

stats are ok for a warlock class but it's now the only class which is forced to spend insane amounts of time on farming black ice and then processing it in order to get a set. I wonder who lost his mind designing it.....
Insanity designed by insane ones.
However making the zone lvl 73 and implementing price per set on 500 000 black ice (which you have to refine first....) means one thing: it's impossible to farm the set in reasonable amount of time.
Why is it the only artifact set unobtainable by other means? Why cannot it drop even from lockboxes like every other artifact sets?
Why is the warlock class discriminated ?
That's just another example how careless and short sighted current dev team is.
Guys, do you even play/test the game you create?
Uh... forced? Someone have a gun to your head and making you invoke 6 times a day?
acually for me i bought the 3 peice set on last mod for my cw int and chr is good now im also screwed because if i want the 3 peice set bonus i have now i have to farm 3 more peices including a new artifact so i am pissed also
You don't have to invoke. You do not have to level up. You don't have to gather new gear and refine it. But an MMORPG means one thing: constant evolution of your character, making it better and stronger.
If such progress is impossible - for most people there is no reason in playing the game and supporting it with real money.
If I have to spend 2 months on farming black ice every day and doing nothing else (sorry, cannot spend 6+ hours in game daily, got real life) just to get new, better set to farm few weeks later... sorry, I'm out. Just like many others. You've already lost 50% of your Q3 income due to decreasing player base. Are you sure it's really the right way ?
Its not like couple hundred stat points will make you lose to anyone or any encounter-it just means some tears from min-maxer minority.
If you could point out where I may obtain a normal belt/neck of black ice, sure. But sadly they removed those both from the store (Were 20k each) and now all I can find is the greater versions (At 250k each).
We hear that in order to farm anything in Ice Wind Dale you must have "maxed" lvl 70 gear. Fine - but warlocks actually need IWD to farm black ice to get lvl 70 gear....
Really? And why should we agree to the fact that the warlock class is being discriminated and people are not able to obtain BiS gear in reasonable amount of time like every other class so they must put it off and go for lesser gear ?
That completely doesn't make sense.
Do you think the same is true of people who are going to end up doing IWD at 70 who are not really pursuing BiS artifact equipment but would still kinda sorta like to work on their unfinished boons?

All other art sets are available from lockboxes. Except this one: greater black ice set. So no, I have nothing against making it available in ZEN store if that was the intention behind this ridiculous idea of black ice insanity.
My reply was specifically about your statement that you are being forced to invoke 6 times a day. I didn't mention the belt because I can see a balance issue there. Each belt has different stats. Making some very easy to obtain and one very difficult means that some people get what they want easily while others have to work very hard. Your argument should focus on the balance issue. Don't mention invoke or anything else. They're not comparables.
Greater BI set is the best one for warlocks, but almost impossible to make it.
Is there a way to report this to DEVs?
Right \wrong policy .. Different discussion .. The point here that the set should be available after medium farming and not strictly hardcore
100 k black ice for both - 50 k and 50 k
it's the golden number I would put
I believe they will nerf the req ice number in future
-500 k Black ice for TWO parts of the set is too high.
-Black ice have a better use for others things.
-Time consuming to gather such an amount of BI with a high risk to be obsolete very quickly
-Bonus set is one of the worst.
-It's BOP (the only one)
- they can low req (ex. 50k each)
- they can change req into "raw black ice", so you don't need to refine it
- add alternative way to get it (linu favor, lockboxes, kessel skirmish chests, ...)
- make it BOE (but I would be worried about price in this case)
- ...
please DEVs do something
