Such a bad suggestion. Will never happen. And if it does, so many will immediately quit.
Lol, just… no…
Not going to happen.
These forums are getting more trippy by the day.

Oh, it will happen.
Just like Nov PTS, despite thousdands of negative feedback, they still went ahead and implemented it.
AGS dont care about our feedback.
Thats the issue if your not on a decent size server in this game you have no idea the world of difference and have a 100% bias opinion here. The community in this game has a huge disconnect.
You have players on active server blowing though trade skill leveling and HWM grind on active servers cheap materials and a gold and item influx that’s steady on high pop and low materials low gold influx and few people able to bring HWM gear into the economy. I will 100% bet if I went to the TP on my server atm I would find maybe 5-7 600 items mostly crafted jewelry.
This is not for a lack of skill or trying by the players on these servers. We clear all the same content we know what we are doing but we cannot compete with other servers. we have 4 or 5 times the cost on some of the material if you look at prices from a high/med pop to a low pop.
We have such a small pop we do our OPR on sat/sun morning because we never have enough to because everyone is spread so thin during the week trying to do other things. like grind HWM and get crafting material and run expeditions. our server pop is so small we are almost like one big company now from 3 different factions to maintain the server itself.
And how is not resetting it fair? As it stands as far as we know HWM will not be reset.
That means people who grinded crafting or grinded for gold to obtain their high GS gear get screwed.
And the ones who chose to grind HWM while the zone was a cake walk (and will still be until they fix the AI or link chest access to mob deaths) are rewarded?
My proposal is going to affect me too, i’m going to lose my GS. Everyone knows grinding HWM was a joke until recently and it’s still not much better.
Best off to reset. Everyone gets screwed and we can move forward together.
Either that or grandfather the existing gear score of any items bound to the player. They are bound to the player so can’t be sold and would become irrelevant once they raised the GS cap
You talk like you matter which you don’t so keep pretending that you do.
Guess what @Deadmarsh
Stop beating a dead horse. Your idea is horrible for the state of the game. Realize it - the devs have.

If you’re going to reset HWM to 500 you also need to reset all trade skills to 1 to level the playing fields with crafters.
I’m pretty sure that not only did the devs realize it but if the suggestion even came up at a design meeting I would be surprised. It’s a ludicrous idea.

Exactly, just two level headed individuals (us) using common sense. But hey, we’re the crazy ones…

I am not sure what they realize, if they did not even realize that keeping dupe exploit up for 2 months after release is not a good idea.
@Cowen Here we go with this again… You seem like the type of person that’s really fun at social events…
Well you did something wrong then. I maxed my Jewelcrafting to 200 in like 3 days. I am actually leveling an alt on a higher pop server and I could probably do it for less than 15k which is nothing to get.
You may also lose players who invested into alternate ways to get high GS gear by investing hundreds of hours into crafting instead of grinding elite chests. Who are now going to be at a massive disadvantage as their crafted gear will become useless.
I’m not a fan of any of these changes but it at least needs to be fair across all players, this would be kind of like nerfing players whose name begins with every other letter, like A or C or E or G etc…it’s just picking a large sample of players who played one way rather than another and saying “sorry buddy but you’re getting a massive nerf, and the way to climb back from that by grinding has been made significantly hard. So long sucker”
It’s really REALLY unfair and unbalanced. At least if you’re going to make sweeping changes you do it fairly for everyone so either we’re all stuck in the same lame boat together.
So… HWM was too easy for a few weeks so reset it?
Crafting was too easy, maybe we should reset it as well.
Please don’t retroactively remove my work because you chose not to do it, thanks. I don’t have all crafting professions at 200 and I didn’t ask for everyone with crafting 200 to have their skills scaled back after the crafting nerf that screwed me, because that would be insane.
OP is also insane.

Your point? I made my post before that dev response. And the fact remains it is a good idea.
It is the most fair option at the moment to the entire playerbase.
The only reason they wouldn’t do it because players such as yourself will quit like babies. You yourself admit your watermarking grind has been accomplished by kiting and forcing mobs into retreat.
Like that takes skill or something. Or like it was somehow any harder then people grinding crafting or gold to purchase in the TP.
You still have yet to make one reasonable argument for why HWM should not be reset. Not a single one.
Stop imposing yourself lol, I am not interested in your love.
My point is you’re wasting your breathe. Put your energy into something else more productive. They’ve provided a response. Accept it.
My argument to it is, its not the most fair solution. How else can i say that so you can understand it lmao?
