druushk has been killed by ONE guild in his most recent incarnation. and they already had all of their mythicals from killing all of VP shortly after LU42 came out (before druushk was "fixed" for the eleventeenth time), which doesn't really count. when every other elite raiding guild worldwide (with or without any number of mythical weapons) who's seriously trying to kill it all bitch and moan that it's basically impossible, that says something.

nexona is an extremely difficult fight. druushk is borderline impossible right now. mythical weapons dont just fall into your fucking lap like a solo scout or a small group running around collecting tokens for their shiny PvP gear collections. how the fuck can you even BEGIN to compare the two ways to obtain gear?
I will "BEGIN" to compare them now.

You raid like 20 hours a week if you raid 5 nights a week, 4 hours a night. In a few weeks , maybe a month or two at the latest exile guilds will have VP cleared. Once someone figures it out it will leak out to the other guilds and you guys will learn a strat.

Currently it takes about 30 minutes to an hour if you are lucky to complete a writ while pvping. 4 hours a night, lets say 8 writs. So 40 tokens a night. That's one piece every two weeks. 7 pieces = 14 weeks = 3 months.

2 writs an hour is extremely unfair right now and doesn't happen. It might with the new changes.

2 months for exiles to get their mythicals, 3 months for Q / FP to get their pvp gear.

Our benefit is pvp gear, that's our "easymode" Your easymode is having access to all classes and being in a guild that raids all the time. You chose to exile and chose it for the raid benefit, we choose to stay in Qeynos so we can just PvP and still get great gear. Perfectly fair.

I've been exiled. It *IS* easy-mode for raiding. It's like night and day.

lol. different day, same old arguement.

Didn't see any of these whiners complaining when they were probably among the first players world wide to obtain fabled t8 weapons and jewelery with procs useful for pvp. Hell the armour is superior in many cases to vp loot... especially considering the unique pvp effects.

Mythicals are jus a matter of time. it's not like everyone is walking around with them except the poor faction guilds on nagafen

You're wrong. The difference was probably in the guilds you were in. Your exiled guild was probably way more focused and dedicated to raiding then your factioned guild.

Faction players get POTIONS THAT AVOID AE'S~ holy shit! Do you have any idea how amazing that is? Thats just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to shit you take for granted. IF there was a movtivated and focused city guild they'd do just as well..

Two writs an hour seems about right. You're saying 2 months for mythicals, 3 months for SEVEN pieces of what equates to (or is better than) VP set gear.

..I don't think thats unfair at all. If anything, 3 months for a full set of pvp gear isn't long enough.

I realize that the way the writs are right now is dumb. (class requirements) I think the new fix will make them perfectly balanced. I wish they'd make exiles update.. but, meh.

Some of the weapons/jewelry available before they put in writs were outrageous. That fear neck is OUTRAGEOUS - there is nothing else like it in the game. I think things are fairly well balanced atm, maybe swayed slightly in favor of qeynos/freeport guilds when it comes to gear advantage. Mythicals might change it, but being exiled doesn't have anything to do with getting mythical weapons.

This, by the way is the perspective of a total outsider. I will never touch PvP gear, and I will never touch ANY raid gear.

I think 2 writs an hour is absurd honestly, but I tend to solo and do so at late hours. Maybe I should switch my schedule around to see how the normal folk pvp. =O

Yeah - wasn't saying two writs an hour is doable right now. I think that'd be a good place to be, though. I hope after the changes it will be.

Not that I actually care - it's nice though to have opponents who are actually interested in PvP, though.

2 writs an hour is easily doable if you log over and start calling people out. If you're just going out and PvPing normally though, you'd be lucky to get 2-3 writs in an 8 hour session on venekor.

For the 47th time: Venekor is dying. The devs aren't going to balance PvP around your server population. Start a petition to reopen server transfers, you will be far more successful and happy in the end.

BS, both servers are dying. Nagafen isnt far away from Venekor according to all the player posts and whining. But the difference is that we are used to low pvping, while all those nagafen wanna be elites are crying like little kids. And i could get a writ done in roughly an hour or less with the old system (depending on luck tbh - finding a conjuror could take a whole day) but with the new system its totally fine.

lol, Nagafen is no where NEAR dieing.

It's still the most populated server you dumb dumb

Unlike the five people who post on the Venekor forums saying they are going to quit, the five people on Nagafen forums saying they are going to quit don't actually represent our entire community~
