high gold prices which makes every item more expensive, making it more expensive to imbue gems because of the coin problems the devs them self started which makes it even hard for some players to imbue thoose gems cause not only is the gems becoming more expensive the other items that comes from the packs are getting more expensive as well, Scroll of tome, Script of fate. So their making us the players pay the price for something them self started and we're the one who gets to suffer, and it shouldnt be that way since we are the players...
Reapeting same quests same instance over n over again every single day ( like it or not this is a grind game, doing the same things over n over again) Some will argue and say its not a grind game and that we have lots of quests to do, which is true lol we do have lots of daily quests but, its still a grind when u reapet something all the time.
dont know if its just me but this game is becoming so boring, i mean we all farm to achieve better gears, so we spam TT's like over thousands of times we spam Nirvana as well over thousands of times, but when you achieve what u wanted to achieve with the gears or what ever, whats the point of playing? i mean we would still be stuck with the samething to do over n over again, back to nirvana and the other instances we've spammed so much.
There isnt anything new, and even if they add a new farm instance, its still going be just 1 new instance and its gonna be the same as nirvana, spamming it over 1000's of times, the devs really doesnt care about the game, there should be new things all the time like other games instead of making us do the same thing so many ****ing times for over a year and get bored.

If youre bored, quit. Not trying to be rude or anything, but as you said, nothing is gonna change.
Though, I gotta say, you picked a horrible example for the bad economy. Gems are cheap as hell now. I remember when I could sell flawless shards for 400k or so each. Alot of stuff has been affected negatively because of the economy, but gems are the one thing that hasn't.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Enjoy the rest of the downward spiral. See you in SWtOR b:bye0 -
The gems was only a example i didnt mean flawless shards hun:), but lets take another example that comes from the packs, 400mil for a scroll of tome? 130 mil for script of fates? lol0

To me the game is much more than questing/grinding
YES it would be very very boring indeed if you would do the same thing over and over again.
I like the small little things that PWI can offer
I learned a lot of peeps ,
I found pleasure in giving and receiving support in quests or boss killing.
I like to stroll to archosaur trying to find a catshop with cheap stuff i really want .(more like windowshopping lol)
I like the cube, except for the fact that i get PKed alot in there b:angry
Wacthing the Worldchat is entertaining b:laughTelewasters FTW
It really starts to bore you IF you really want to get that R9/R8 better gear shards and you have to do the endless grinding and you cant COMPETE with the ppl who already have those gears.
For me and my friends uberelite ppl who are competing are entertaining us.
We have simple gear, we still are able to kill those mobs b:laugh
and we don't stress
after all its just a game.0 -

agreed. i used to be a lot more into spending too much time trying to get top gear, then i was like "lol wtf am i doin?". i was ignoring txts/calls from friends and such (this was ~a year ago btw XD) then something happened and i snapped out of it lol people are quick to pass judgement, but this tranny only plays for sht and giggles now. i love the carefree gameplay now. i recently got a nirvana 1st cast tt bow (less then 5 on the server i think) just for the hell of it. sure im currently farming that 200mil back (well less now lol) but still, people need to realize that they need to do what makes them happy. sounds selfish but its the truth. hell ill farm a bit and spam wc with nonsense. its nice making people laugh (and me laughing at the ones who takes everything so seriously still). carefree gaming = the best kind >;D[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Before r8 was popular, before LU&D's/Pan Gu's and APS was popular, people grinded the hell out of FB dungeons for rep, molds, ornaments, questing (kill 40/50/60/80/100 of the same mobs per quest, repeat for different quest) did countless zhenning, all the same repeated "grinding" you apparently are complaining about.Naturion - Dreamweaver wrote: »high gold prices which makes every item more expensive, making it more expensive to imbue gems because of the coin problems the devs them self started which makes it even hard for some players to imbue thoose gems cause not only is the gems becoming more expensive the other items that comes from the packs are getting more expensive as well, Scroll of tome, Script of fate.

I'd love for you to elaborate what it is you did back in the days of yore that wasn't "grinding".0 -

i did the samething you were doing and whats your point? it was different back then, this game is pretty old now and we still havent gotten alot of new things.
Lets say theese packs never came out and we did all the things like we used to back in the game, do u really think people would play this game and do fb's over atleast 8 thousand times to get rep? lol.. and i never brought up the past?
why would u even bring up the past? it has nothing to do with this thread0 -

I would argue that 'grinding' FB's for rep has a lot more merit than buying it with tokens or straight from the boutique, since it encourages helping others. Even if your motives are pure personal gain, it's hard to deny that joining someone else's FB to help them progress encourages a more charitable, helpful, and socially healthy atmosphere.
But you're right, there's no sense bringing up the past at this point. So to answer your question directly - if you have to ask complete strangers for a reason to stay, you're probably better off looking elsewhere.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

No, the game has not. Every game is different from "back then". Very few games can stay the same and be just as prominent or fun, and even they get old after a while.Naturion - Dreamweaver wrote: »i did the samething you were doing and whats your point? it was different back then, this game is pretty old now and we still havent gotten alot of new things.
If packs never came out people would find other ways of making cookie-cutter builds that would attempt to do the most damage both PVE and PVP. Nonetheless, it was quite common to farm rep via FB's not only for the rep from tabbing, but getting stamps. FB's were grinded on quite a bit, and people even found ways to save instances to continuously provide profit for FB's, BH's, molds, and wine splits.Lets say theese packs never came out and we did all the things like we used to back in the game, do u really think people would play this game and do fb's over atleast 8 thousand times to get rep? lol.. and i never brought up the past?
Well, from the topic title "worth it now?", that is a direct comparison to how things were "before" and how they are "today", of course, you give the negative connotation to "grinding" as if this is something that was virtually non-existent before, when as you thankfully admit, it was quite popular and will always be.why would u even bring up the past? it has nothing to do with this thread
I do agree that content in PWI is stale as ****, Nirvana and PV is pretty much all the worthwhile "content" they've put out since 2009, however, it's hard to make the message clear when some are complaining about grinding and repetition, which is prevalent throughout basically every RPG, MMO's and the F2P industry included.
Like others have said, there's no point in staying in your case. I would have left long ago if I could find a game that could entertain me for as long. I know of one coming out in November (something happening a few months before that which surely will keep me busy) but that's quite a bit of time to kill, so either play the crappy F2P MMO or move along.
When it comes to gear, anything except outright buying it is better. However, people ran FB's especially the FB chats not because they loved helping others, but because they wanted rep and experience for themselves. The hippy dippy "charitable" "helpful" and "socially healthy" is a joke and it never was any of what you described except maybe to someone like yourself who seems to extend quite an over-abundance of emotion into a game. PWI forced the "helpfulness", which itself was a good idea, then they shat on that by allowing people to powerlevel skipping as many FB's as necessary, and few people do FB's that don't require cultivation too. In this case, PWI is helping to sink it's own game with it's own financial decisions. I let it be so, for other companies to learn a lesson from them.Kieve - Dreamweaver wrote: »I would argue that 'grinding' FB's for rep has a lot more merit than buying it with tokens or straight from the boutique, since it encourages helping others.

Christ, bitter much? "Hippy dippy"? ...Just, no.
Look, I'm not under any illusion that people were all sweetness and carebear charm before packs (even on a 'carebear' server like HT), and I recall all the threads about "Tabber gets drops," "So and so stole my mold!", or debates over having higher-level squads roflstomp an FB, and so forth. But if you want to get personal about this, then yes - I met several pretty cool people on the times I had to beg help from random FB squads (I usually asked the Radiance FB chat first). I happen to think my game experience was better for it. I don't know what yours were like I and I won't cast judgment, but I don't think I'm in the minority in saying that overall, it was better for the game's atmosphere.
...Then again, I'd be surprised if there were enough folks left from then for there to be a minority, at this point.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I still enjoy playing PWI since i made alot of good friends here. I admit i do sell gold once in a while when i have spare change and or when i need that extra boost to reach my goal. As for farming TT and other instances i find it funny going back and trying to solo them when i couldn't at lower levels. PWI can get boring at times if you don't have anyone to play the game with. Its good to take breaks and try something new heck i took a month break from PWI and im having fun again since many of my friends are back. As for the gold prices i find it easier to buy things with ingame coins than to use gold to buy them. I bought my EG flyer at 10million coins which costs like 25 gold in the boutique i think saving myself 15 million. Overall if your bored try something new and if you feel like coming back than do so

Go farm delta you stupid nab >:O
I told you the price like 10 times already, you are wrong with 130m. *gives headnut*

Do you get the feeling that PWI pretty much made every farming instance pointless?
They release something that would take a long time to farm, then it comes out in packs...who to this day has farmed Warsong?
Who farmed Lunar for the gold weapon and rings ever? The only things you might reasonably farm from it are the gold armor pieces for Nirvana...The weapons and rings are simply unprofitable because of the gold TT requirements...might as well buy it from pack openers.
To me it seems like these instances are outdated. You should no longer go into an instance and have the chance at coming out with nothing (ie: TT3-3); the requirements for manufacturing Lunar gears should be updated to reflect their market prices as well.
Should ingame methods of obtaining some of these items be made easier in light of the fact that no one actually farm them ingame? It's just not reasonable to make farming them your goal when packs are spewing them out.Elena Costel: I wash my hands of this affair.
