    I like the changes. I never liked the whole money aspect of TW as it creates greedy guilds populated with *******s. This will make TW more like PK or DT where people play for fun, TW isnt dead.

    We're a pretty small guild at the moment, although we intend to TW. No, we do not expect to win money or land anytime soon, it'll just be for experience and the fun of it. But what was already an expensive thing to do will be made harder if we don't even know if our money went down the drain. Not many people are rich, and frankly if we're going to get rolled in 5 mins over 150 mirages...well...

    To those of you saying about doing TW for the fun of it, everything in this world that's fun is a luxury, and everything luxurious costs money to some extent. I don't doubt the ability of 9x/10x players to make millions a day, but I for one know that there gets to be a point where costs offset what fun may come out of it. Me, my personal goal is to try to break even with the cost of my skills right now. I don't have the spare cash to worry about charming myself. Now, it's kind of like, here, pay a mil to get destroyed in 5 minutes. If by some miracle you win, the only thing you hold now is glory, which only stands for so much in a MMO.

    To those comments about how uncharmed TW will show off one's skill, you can only be so skilled in something like a game. You can plan all the tactics you want, but if you do not have enough firepower to back up what may be the most sophisticaled plan, it's useless. All the skill in the world cannot increase the damage you dish out, or the damage you take. Channeling times and reduction %s are right there. If 2 players are equal in skill, one's wearing full TT, mold, Nirvana, Lunar, Warsoul, or something, and the other is wearing NPC or 3*, it's gonna take some serious luck to beat the former.

    ATM I do not know what our guild is going to make of this. We will not directly lose profits, as we do not TW right now, but this just removed half of the reasons to TW. One is fun, and the other is money. With chances of money completely thrown out the window, I worry to see how many people will respond to the call of fun alone.

    A lot of you people act like TW is the only reason to play PW. Last time I checked, there -is- more to this game than that.

    Just wait till you get to 99ish and have absolutly nothing to do, and no way to get your gear. If you did anythign besides BH and maybe cube, you would see it makes a world of difference.

    <- Just waiting to see which way the prices go now that theres money vanishing left and right and no major way to put it back besides opening pack after pack after pack after pack.

    I'd like to see one person that makes a substancial profit off of TW, that is someone that doesn't run off with TW money of course.


    Before the update I myself would spend 2-3mil out of my own pocket to TW. That's 2-3mil more than what I've gotten from the lands mind you.


    Please show me the people that are getting rich off of TW.

    Considering that multiple TW related threads went up within minutes of the Content Update post being published, I'd say there's a lot to discuss.

    what is there to discuss? it's already decided and you are to implement it. a discussion would be talking about it and coming up with a decision that would be beneficial to sides involved, in this case PWE and the players.

    benefits for PWE:
    less coins to disperse to players = no "free" coins = more zen = more money for PWE (bottom line is more profit for PWE)

    benefits for players:
    more mirages = more getting screwed over = again and again

    thanks :) and have a nice day.

    Farm hh? oh ur end game u shoudnt need to
    Farm nirvana? once in a while for coins

    I play week to week to join together with my faction n defeat the enemy
    the faction we fight didnt even bid this week ....
    tw is dead and useless now


    i farmed to improve my gear to be better in tw to help the faction

    there is almost nothing to do in this game after end game

    some days i sit around arch for like 3 hours making laps

    i have no reason to compete anymore n that is what this game is about
    if people talk in gc n hang out with friends u might as well be on facebook not a game with competition

    Don't call me hunny buns, that's demeaning kthnx.

    I don't care if I'm end game or not, that does not make me stupid. Maybe consider end game I'm not going to be playing anymore. And honestly, I'd still find ways to have fun if I did.

    TW really shouldn't be the whole point of the game, because IT'S NOT. Maybe some of these greedy people should check themselves and realize why some of these changes were made.

    Maybe its different on RT but Sanctuary has had a history of greedy guilds who shy away from competitive TWs with guilds of similar strength to focus on weaker guilds. They aren't interested in having a fun time in TW but to maximize profits. Maybe this update will discourage that.

    Honestly people who are living off of only TW income are barely playing the game anyway.

    honestly, just put PWI back to it's normal self. BH? really? no need to grind. ok so pk sucks. now this? i don't even do TW. & i'm hating on it now. TW is a major reason why the game is fun. :\ you just ruined the game & will hear loads of QQ-ing. Good lucks. b:bye

    P.S. comparing this to pw-my is a totally change. but it's gone too low. :\

    I set out planning to read this whole thread but because of it's length and my complete apathy towards this game and the people who designed/run it took over, I didnt read past the first page. This is the most idiotic idea I could have ever dreamed of actually being implemented. Why don't you just come to my house and **** on my plate and tell me its a steak. As far as I'm concerned if Elayne doesn't declare our faction RPK and we just decimate the server to aid you in your quest to kill this game, then I will personally leave faction create my own rpk guild and invite anyone else who just doesnt give a **** anymore and believe me, I'll have 200 members in the first 10 minutes.
    Push me,
    And then just touch me.
    Tilll I get my,

    Not only is the pay a bad idea due to the fact that A LOT of people in game depend on tw pay to cover their stuff, but it'll be that much harder to bid on lands now. Secret bids that you can't even get your money back on? What kind of **** is that : \. Ooooo I get mirages for winning a tw yippee! There aren't even enough mirages to effectively split between faction members. Then there's this 'chance' to get a super rare awesome item. Do you only get one? How the hell is the faction supposed to split that then? I understand trying to stop false bids but now you are just **** everyone. Now there might not be any tw's at all. Good job with that one : \.

    Why fix something that isn't broke?

    Either way, you're still going to have the Essences and the Yakuzas owning the map and taking the mirages for themselves so those who think factions are just going to give up and give their land to the lesser factions, think again.

    But in my opinion as stated in the opening line, what's the point?
    What are you honestly trying to achieve PWE with this update?

    The only thing that will come from this is the people who don't TW will like it because they've never really experienced the cash rewards for themselves; whilst those who do TW will absolutely detest it and probably neglect it for a few days, then come back and still destroy the other factions.

    Either way, don't destroy something and turn away members of the community with a stupid update like this, there's no point and you gain nothing PWE but hatred.

    (Took it from another thread I posted in)
