So again Earthguard is not getting their rank 9. Some have been waiting for god knows how long and i'm one of them. And to be honest we're getting tired of it. Think it's been atleast 5 months now that i got to compete in TW vs r9's with my mystic. First of all i think it's already crazy that the game developers can make a silly mistake by setting a wrong level requirement on the r9 quest. But letting your customers wait for 6 months is beyond my understanding when the issue is so incredibly small.

Of course one of the most frustrating things about this all is, we get absolutely no information. No date, and when someone (frankie) says "soon" we get our hopes up for nothing because this was said a long while ago.

So i want to make a suggestion. I've seen that with the tournament we had, the winners were given a warsoul weapon by the gm's. So this means that gm's can give away equipment.

So why not let gm's give us the equipment manually after we send in a ticket/email?
Of course there have to be certain conditions to it.
- Must have 300k rep
- Must wear r9 ring
- Must have all mats required for what you ask for in bank/inventory/whatever
- Must put down your account name, char name and equipment you want in the ticket/email

Honestly i can't imagine that this can be so much work. Not to mention, there are not that many earthguards who get r9 to begin with. And i'd rather wait for 1 week at most instead of another 3+ weeks.

Maybe this is too much to ask, but please place yourself in those people who are waiting for MONTHS without any real information AT ALL.

Think it's a win win situation. You get more people spending money on r9 stuff, us getting our r9 finally makes us happy and you're rid of one of the QQrage topics on this forum.

Hopefully this is seriously considered, if not atleast give us some real information where you can say that we get it within 2 weeks (no lies). And if you know we get it in 3+ weeks at most, i say consider this idea. b:surrender

    It's a decent idea but a manual process would likely involve mistakes.

    Hmm. One thing they could do is make a copy of the DQ points mall where you have to NPC Medals of Glory / GSTs to get credit on the site and then choose which R9 equipment you want to come in the mail.

    Maybe if PWE didnt sell power right out the cash shop this whole rank 9 earthguard **** wouldnt even be an issue since most wouldnt be able to get it any time soon.

    It is true that some buy the gear out of cash shop but some people honestly farmed every penny for their gear. =)

    And I wish pwi would take this idea. It is very nice. What amazes me is pwi can get the patch from the ring engraving and implement it yet they would have the EG r9 patch by now and we get nothing....

    I've been playing less and less and might look for a new game to play soon. It's not just because of this incident it is because many things that PWE has done so far and this just pushed me over the edge. I've been playing PWI for a long time, started in HT and then moved to DW when the server opened. Waiting this long without any time frame from GMs or anyone just made me realize how bad this game really is. I might take a break soon and I really hope they fix it.

    But anyway, back on topic. I do like the idea but PWE would be too lazy to actually go through with it. b:surrender They can't even have our EG r9 come out this week like it was supposed to according to the patches timeline between PWE and China.
    TY for my shiney new R9 PWE b:chuckle

    Ehh I was expecting it to come out this week due if it mirrored the 3 month lag we had on the last patch but that was just a guess. +/- a couple of weeks is still a pretty reasonable window to expect things that take 3 months to do.

    You cant even get a GM to answer the GM call function in the game and you want them to personally deliver your R9?

    PWI loves it when players are this hung up on the game. This game hasnt improved in the 2 years+ Ive been playing it, in fact its gotten worse, EG R9 or anything else isnt going to change that.

    ^ They may as well with how easy it is to get through it anyway lol... Would be and is no different than a privately run server... that's what it reminds me of, honestly.

    But in all fairness this is a service that has been promised. In an SP related thread Frankie stated that the EG R9 will be coming out with a larger update "soon" (from what I understand). I'm tired of hearing this "soon" bull-... nonsense.

    By the time they get this done I'm sure some of my much anticipated games will be out and I'll be gone from here anyway. >_>; That's how "fast" they get things done here.

    I know right, glitching to 105 totally kills the fun out of the game. Yea, it's totally their fault.

    Someone was complaining having to compete with other ranks 9's cause of their mystic not having r9. Hey, your like the majority of other players who don't farm money or cash-shop r9 and walk around in r8/tt99/nirvana...hows it feel buddy? b:victory

    Merchanting isn't something that requires farming. Merchants aren't farmers, they buy and resell items other people farm. I'm just saying.

    To those who merchant their way to R9 my hat goes off to you, though. Must take some incredible patience lol.

    Too right!. And we sure didnt fc heads or powerlevel them. The fact is people who say Eg arent important are one of the following two.
    1.Powerleveled EG then whine at pvp and pve and quitted them cause they cant use them or be bothered to learn.

    2. People who never really used them and just dismiss them cause not aps lol.b:laughb:laughb:laugh

    Lol, exactly... I was in love with my mystic from day one I made her lol. I leveled the slow way up until 70 and then started FF at that point (along with still questing and such). I learned everything I felt I needed to learn. People who just breeze through levels without so much as learning the class properly is always going to be at a loss. Except for those few who can pick up any class at 100 and master it lol... which I have seen before, but it seems to be the great minority.

    Personally my Mystic is my favourite toon after three years of playing this game. If I could I would have rolled one back in 2008 lol. Pre TB, that woulda been nice. Back when ppl played the game still. >.>

    Honestly i can't imagine that this can be so much work. Not to mention, there are not that many earthguards who get r9 to begin with. And i'd rather wait for 1 week at most instead of another 3+ weeks.

    Actually, with the apparently low number of GM's that they have actually working, (or knowing how to actually fix things so that they get fixed the first time), You're still looking at 3+ weeks through the ticketing system.
