if you have armoring 200 with all the trophies and gear, why are you wearing 520 faction gear?
You think voidbent still sells for that much? Itâs down to 42k a set on my server now.
Because the perks are better and Iâve only rolled one usable piece for my void gauntlet build.
Buying 600gs items on the trading post is content. 
Not when you can buy gold to buy items.
Do you think everyone is buying gold? Delusional
Did I say that?
Itâs what you didnât say. You didnât say people who play the game as intended. you only mention people buying gold as if those are the only consumers in the 600gs trading post market.
If it was intended to have people buy max GS, AGS wouldnt have tried to change it in the first place.

if you are basing your idea of good game design around preventing players with close to 500k gold from having an advantage, based on time spent in game.
thats just pointless, clearly anyone with that much money has no issue grinding, or they are part of a well off company, who will probably spam dungeons and get HWM in record time.
who exactly are you trying to prevent from getting effective GS?
They tried to change it because watermark drinkers complained about it. which brings me full circle back to where we started. Stop drinking the watermarks and demand better content from AGS.
Yeah I mean Iâd be down with those changes, watermarking or expertise isnât the greatest option in the world but it is something small that feels like youâre progressing your character. I think a lot of people misunderstand how much of a difference the 520 pvp gear is to a 600 piece, I see bad players all the time wearing a 600 piece just because itâs 600 but doesnât have any pvp perks or even the right stats.

it was literally intended, but they had dupes/exploits, and they underestimated the power difference and economic differences they ended up creating with companies and property.
they also wanted to better signal player growth, and create a means of rewarding players that was less all or nothing than having an item or not.
We dont know that. I can only assume that they announced the change because it was part of their vision.
Idk what this means.
No one can âspamâ dungeons because no one can make orbs that quickly. My entire point is that HWM grinding is more tedious and time consuming than making GS 600 gear and/or farming the gold to buy it on the market yet the rewards for it are not equal. I donât even care that people buy their GS, I just want HWM grinding to have similar rewards.
Out of touch and all credibility lost. Lol.
Thanks for your contribution to the discussion.
Facts!! Honestly, I think AGS should adjust the grind from this poisonous watermark grind to a grind for ranks (or anything directly tied to PVP &/or PVE). Just improve the lore and add battlegrounds, PVP gear, and hella difficult raids for God status items. Thatâs real end game content.
It doesnât have to be my ideas just a grind in that direction would be good.
youâre welcome. God luck with your erroneous argument.
Thanks. Have a great day.
