    Oh hell your sage trying to f2p

    GL "economically" getting 5 aps there

    I'm not trying to F2P exclusively.

    I'm just trying to not CS exclusively, either.

    And yes, R8 is in the works for Sin and Archer. Deicides for Archer. I'm thinking... G13 Nirvana for Sin, until I decide to either go G15 or R9. It depends on if they ever make R9 accessible again.

    Its funny how people say:

    1. Its unattainable if you dont CS
    2. Only CS'ers can buy it
    3. Ever since Rank 9 came out CS'ers have been overpowered


    Lone-behold the truth:

    1. If you can farm your NV weapon you can farm Rank 9
    2. September, 2009 was when CS'ers became overpowered
    3. If you have a Scroll of Tomb you could've bought rank 9
    4. If you own a complete set of Interval gear then you could've bought Rank 9
    5. If you own any Cube Necklaces, Warsong Belts, Capes, or any event gear in General then you could've bought Rank 9


    The only reason people really QQ about Rank 9 is because they jumped the gun way too early and invested lots of coins into their current gear. If they saved and waited the cost of attaining their gear would've allowed them to get Rank 9 too.

    If you wanted economic should have gone demon on archer :/

    Much less to spend on a farming set that way but oh well I suppose that's water under the bridge.

    And tbh a good player isn't gonna sit there and try to tank a 3 spark and a take aim. What I meant by "aware of the situation" was someone who had the sense to defend,kite, stun etc(ie: damage tests don't count). One shot by 3 spark and take aim isnt impressive as said before. And R8 doesn't mean much these days. It depends on the individual and their skill, refine, etc. I see even completely unrefined r9 these days(it makes me sad), and an r8 robe wearer with poor refine and poor skill is easy to negate. I've made quick work of the noob r8s even with my **** refines and mediocre skill.

    Anyway, I see no way to fix the r9 problem, at this point I agree that not releasing medals is the best option. I don't have beef with cs, (though I do avoid it) but there is something wrong with gear that is nearly impossible to obtain except through cs :/

    @ angellic, impossible now for non csers because of the rarity/price/exclusivity of medals

    Rank 9 costs a lot more than cube necklaces, belts, ect, including scroll of tome. b:shocked To get it you need to invest more than 700$ at least into buying guild just for the set.. Not including shards and refines..

    Half a grand just for the weapon (while the Medals were DQable) and you had to act fairly quick. Considering the weapon is the slightly more difficult thing to get. There is your hitting power.

    Sorry was to addicted to opening packs to be bothered with the 'boots' don't worry I'll get there.

    I think what people should be asking is "What if... Rank 10?" are you going to do anything about it. Are you going too save up any number of money? Are you complaining about it even without doing a bit of simple maths to see the functionality of getting it? How many other characters have you tried to train up to level 80 wasting money there? (unless of course you can economically run multiple characters) and if you do have 'alts' have you equipped anything with it.

    I saw some of the future coming, nothing in PWI is permanent just like the T&S you signed when you got into the game. I've got bits and pieces of R9 and I'm happy with it. October 2010 until March 2011 is about 6 months to plan something.

    I find it funny people laugh at Clawbarian and so forth and its just spite, spite, spite and more spite and they're like well you should roll a BM. "Oh that's nice, dear. How much money are you paying PWI? None? Well bugger off" If you can smell jealously, wanting and bull, you know where the paddock is.

    Trickksgirl is right, it COSTS.
    Time won't wake/make you wiser, but it will definitely wound you.

    on harshlands:

    Cube neck, warsong belt, scroll of tome, and a full 99 set is about 700 mil to get. that's r9 rep, ring, wep and 1-2 armour pieces in chip costs, so yes if you spend that much on your current gear, you could have had r9 by now.

    I was running around in TT90/99 set with r6 weapon for a long time and just saved, saved, saved. Then r9 hit the boutique and i was able to get the ring, wep and farm my armour in 4 weeks.

    Medals should be back in DQ, with the code in it that they are not stackable anymore, that fixes the unlocking problem instantly

    I ownt a LVL101+ R9 (or 102, can't remember) archer on LVL79 BM with GX before I took a break from PW and

    end up working, just saying b:surrender

    As for R9 BS, let people get pulled in bait then get facepalmed at. :D...

    Oh... are you that WC troll in HT? >.>
    I, II and III spark is the most cheesiest skill in PWI and it should be removed or massively nerfed.

    Rank 9 has ruined PvP on PvE servers, ruined TW on all servers and has made a rift in the community.
    The economy of PWI suffered from the first release of the Medals of Glory, which turned out to be a glitch.. If the medals ruined the economy for PWI once when it wasn't even fully accessable to the public it will ruin the economy surely if released to the public through the Cash Shop.
    Rank 9 was ment to be the superior rank in the game, if the medals are released through the cash shop we'll want R10 because everyone will have it and it will be Rank 8 all over again. If the dev's made it so it was only earned through TW like it always should have been, only a few community members would have it- The DQ shop was a leap and a lot more people earned it through that.
    The community of cash shopping "powerlevelers" complain that they don't have it, when its ment to be for the select few that have earned it through TW. I think making it so every level 101 that spends 100$'s on this game would be a mistake in all aspects, just because some greedy powerhungry kids want to be "Pro"


    just cuz u cant get them, doesnt mean others shuldnt either . i have all the tokens and i FARMED for them, was planing to cashshop but cuz they got me mad by removing the medals i started farming with my 5aps sin for them. and i got all 205. now waiting for that sale.

    Like I said before, they should either make rank 9 attainable like they did with the DQ items to make it fair.

    Or make r8 the same with special shards that are as hard/easy to attain as they were with the r9 gear.

    Then if they want their money they should make rank 10 gear and make it hard to get.
