Main issue with Arena and OPR is simply gear. Having only 580GS I hit people for 800 dmg while someone else tanks 6 players in light armour (shirking) and does 5-6k dmg.
Most the time I queue for gypsum 
Let me rephrase it:
Its pain to play because I keep losing. Ok.

You can have shirking too, why don’t you get it?
it’s okay to lose or get killed. But if every OPR match ends 1000:100, it’s not fun in the long run. It doesn’t matter which side you’re on. It’s time to get rid of mortal empowerment perk and start balancing team by atleast gearscore.

Hm, look at the newest PTR Change: You dont need Ruby or Garnet Gipsum. The Crybabies have won the fight…
that’s such a very huge piece of crap… 
Cause I’m still grinding Expertise…
I complain that they are forcing us to do this in the current state of opr and arena.
Imho first of all fix this modes and let us grind these parts in a “balanced” mode.
Its not about Expertise at all. You don’t need 600 Expertise to get items with shirking, do you? The difference between 625 shirk fort and 580 shirk fort is 0,1% per piece, 3,9% vs 3,8% …
PvP is specialised content, you need specialised perks. Not Expertise, perks.
I don’t have the 100k per item to buy it
Just RMT and be done with it. AGS doesn’t care.
You don’t need 100k to buy 2-perk gear.
Garnet and Ruby Gipsum are changed to Gypsum orbs and other Materials…
Nice, great way to avoid to fix PVP-Modes…
What about emerald? Can you please post a link with these changes. i cant find it in the ptr section
Look at nwdb.info - also the emerald gipsum changed i think…
All to grind a few days are changed to: SHIT!
Resilent + Shirking is max 10k. Anyway focus first to get resilent everywhere is god tier perk. Shirking is not so OP as everyone thinks pretty useless against range dps in arenas.
Depends on server.
PVP Players are never, never, never happy, never.
No and dont pay more. Or be me who dont care about anything I overpay very often and ends with 200 gold by the end of each day xd
Busy spending my gold on lodestone atm 
thanks for remind me about that xd Or I will just save gold till end if October and buy thise runes and gems xd
