thanks btw is 8$/50k rp.and its over 1600 usd to get one artifact to mystic.
Why would anyone buy rp through cryptic.
Anyways, imho, epic artifacts and rank 10's are plenty sufficient.
well i pvp a lot. so i am always looking to better my char right now ive got epic artifacts with rank 8s.

Well if the cost was down at that level. Then sure, I'd be happy with it being like that. Although I probably wouldn't have anywhere near as high gear as I do if it was.
This is why part of me wants to buy an xbox one and just migrate over to the better economy. but it is how it is. the Zen/AD exchange backlog IS dropping. so maybe in a bit we might see it go below 500 again. if you want to buy blood rubies to level your gear feel free too. but it's effectively 2-6 times cheaper (depending on what you are buying) to refine via runestones/peridots/rank 5's.
why should people spend $1000's of dollars extra to level their gear just for the principle of it, they're going to buy stacks of peridots / rank 5's / reso stones just like EVERYONE else does.
whats the next step in the anti-botting measures? Adding CAPTCHAS to profession nodes and leadership tasks? Although that'd be very annoying for casual players. it might ACTUALLY make a difference.

I wouldnt spend a dime in RP, nor will I ever spend a dime in RP.. so total cost is zero.. I grind them as I go.
and yes.. I do bother with pvp as well, I enjoy it, which is why Ive said for the longest time, allow the top 5%-10% to play each other.. the rest of us normal people, let us play each other. having a ilevel of 3k should be good enough in this game.
FTP are never truly free, and in fact can siphon more money off gamers than 15/month ever would have.
...but you got to that IL of 3k because you played in times RP were to be had aplenty. New players? Shafted.
I suppose they'll see the light. Eventually. Hopefully in time.
If you PK a lot and are determined to max out your artifacts. You can also buy the PK Skull artifact for 24k glory each. It will make your actual RP cost quite a bit cheaper. However, for some stupid reason the PVP NPC only sell Artifact of Power for the cheaper 24k glory price. If you want a source artifact of union or stability you need to get the Banners for 40k each but the bigger issue is you also have to complete 7 PVP campaign tasks in the other zones to unlock them. You can also use other artifacts you obtained from other means but if you do get them you better sell them because they sell for more than they are worth as your source artifact.
There we go again. How many similar threads will you create because you have to moan over and over again how you will NOT spend money on RP ?
1 artifact 1-140: 10kk RP. 5kk RP during 2xRP weekends.
5kk RP = ca. 100 stacks of r5 (didn't count crits, would be less). That's ca. 3kk AD if you buy them BEFORE 2xRP weekends in non-peak hours.
Is 3kk so much? Few lucky drops from dragons and/or T1s and you will have it in one weekend. Or play with AH. Or use leadership alts.
Stop complaining and start playing.
Mythics and legendaries are not for avarage player. What do you think "legend" means? It's ultra rare. It's not avarage. Not everyone will have it. Deal with it.
In the end, and at the end, the very very very best gear should drop after doing the absolute most difficult content. It should not be buy-able or sell-able. Upon completion of the most difficult content, as a reward the player should have a choice of Legendary artifact/gear or extremely generous quantities of RP. So Leg gear/artis would reflect that a person has completed this content, and Mythic would reflect that they have mastered it.
In other words leg/mythic would be gated behind the completion of top content. So even if you farmed or botted or bought the rp necessary to upgrade to mythic or leg, you could not do so until you completed the required content.
Then your "not for the average player" point would hold some water. As it is now any average player with the cash can just buy that stuff. Let us not confuse skill or experience or mastery of this game with cash on hand.
And some people have 4 mythics, rank 12s in every slot and all legendary arti equipment....along with a legend companion also decked out with rank 12s......
Thats a lot of money lol.

So much money for such a shaky game. Like spending thousands on tricking out a garbage car that barely runs, spits out stanky black smoke everywhere, and makes an ungodly loud screetching grinding sound when you drive it. But look it got spinning rims and ground fx!
silly people.
xDDD
I don't understand that though. it's a lot of money for a maxed char, even more than I thought. If I had that kind of money to throw around then I wouldn't be spending it on a game
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
It is so much money lol. Even if this game ran perfectly, it is still a game. I won't judge people for what they spend their money on but my god, I would never do it myself. I mean, even top of the line hookers, medical grade pot and a killer weekend in Amsterdam seems a bit more understandable than a cartoon character. To each their own XD
As long as they make content enjoyable for players who are none of the above then it is all good. That said, I think mythic artifacts are the least problematic gear in this game since there are many ways you can obtain reasonable amount of enchantments and runestones. Unline the artifact gear RP, you can get them through playing, for quite a while though.
Hey man. Don't dis my ride
lol if i had all that i think id be spending it on my kids or something. because i grew up extremely poor and i want better for my kids. if i am able to get my kids to be spoiled rotten then hell ive done a hell of a job.of course thatll never happen but you get the point.
$1675 USD.... Wow
I won't do that
