Re: Mythicals for sale?
Seriously, I don't understand the 'uproar'. Last expansion purchasing an RSB was the 'big thing'. Cata leaders spent a lot of time negotiating with Defiance for RSB recipe books; sometimes to no avail as Wuoshi was as stingy with them as they were with Cataclysm. The alternative? Purchase 'one' combine and get your RSB. I know rangers that server transfered back and forth (rl money) and spent upward of 400p on them; I only spent 140p.
Now we are on to a different expansion and the mythical is the new 'hype', only this time it isn't just Rangers, it's all classes looking for that special weapon. There is a lot more involved in Defiance offering mythicals for 1000p. That deal includes flagging for VP! That means Defiance goes back to ALL the separate tiers, flags the individual, THEN they provide further updates that are needed. I happen to know that if you are VP flagged already that price is negotiable.
It also involves individual's personal circumstances. I like the guild I am currently in and we were doing very well and in VP until about 6 weeks ago. Suddenly our officers decided to all join Cataclysm and, without any prior notice, quit the guild in one day. Half of the guild followed them out the door. The other half wasn't prepared to give up.
We've spent a lot of time recruiting and are now gearing up a new MT and members, but, have already beat OK and working toward VP again. Yeah, yeah, most of you are going to go waaahhh *sob story*. It doesn't matter; you weren't there. Many of our members were within an update or two and it was crushing.
When I spoke to Defiance I didn't quite have the plat; but, I worked day and nite during all my free time and managed to wrangle the amount needed and was tickled to death when the announcement went out that Meerah had her mythical. I really don't care what anyone thinks about it. I made the plat MYSELF; I did not involve plat companies and I had 85% of my mythical done. All I needed was VS and phara dar. Obtaining my mythical was not work free: I had to do all the factions; obtain my fabled; had VP flag done; earn the plat. That is hardly what I call getting it 'handed' to me. Especially when our guild has never done any guild splits; as most raiding guilds do. Our officers left with 6 months of bank that never got split in their pockets.
Call me impatient, but I was at the doorstep and the door got slammed in my face. I stayed with my guild to re-build. I know that we will be in VP again soon enough, but, not before GU 44 went in and with the mythical I can feel like a 'real' ranger again for a while. *Even if Aeralik is screwing us with this update.. which is yet to be seen*.
I think if you asked people that have chosen this method for obtaining their mythicals you'll find there are a lot of different stories. I really don't care if I got tells saying "gratz, but I think it's lame you bought it". I have mine now. TY Defiance for providing an avenue for some of us that are thisssss close, but not quite. It's appreciated.
