It’s impossible to find party for dungeons that are not part of the main story line, so everyone will get a free key there…
Because the endgame dungeons are key gated and you can only get 1 free key if you clear all the quests in their home zone, not many people does it…
The keys needs lvl 200 stonecutting… Because the components are BoP! So crafters can’t even craft it and sell them… Also, keys are RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE and time consuming to make!!
Cost is not the only problem… They are 1 time use, need 200 stonecutting and BoP items… With how much and how rare component it needs, beside the cost, it’s a lot of time and running around…
If the lvl 60 orbs would have material requirements similar as the current amrine ones, that would be acceptable in time and value cost for a lvl60 consumable…
The current orb would only worth it if there will be a guaranteed max GS legendary weapon or armor drop with favorable skills and stats…
This single handedly is killing the game for me as im not a big crafter and hate the watermark system with a passion but would love to grind those dungeons as i did while leveling. What keeps me coming back is the pvp, but for how long?
I dont mind the grinding, but the requirement of 200 stonecutting after anything else is a bit strange. Though I can understand it by how fast you can do dungeons and them being a guaranteed upgrade on your HWM.
1st, you can’t hit 591 GS…
My whole gear is 580 and I only get drops with 520 GS, because the collecting tools, jewelry and bags are low level… Which is total bullshit, why should I switch out my 500GS healer ring when the ones on the market with 560+ are crap?? Still gives less stat!!! And the perks are useless.
Also, why can’t I use the dungeon to do multiple runs and upgrade my gear with those? Getting a purple with 530 and when switched out all of it, I start to get 540 drops and so on.
I ran elite zones, but the drops are so bad there, that after running every one during weekend, some even repeatedly, even tho the chests are still on CD, I could not get any upgrade above my 525 faction set from there for days. That’s when I bought the 580ish from Trading Post, which still not pushed my overall GS score over 520…
Also, PvP is a big load of bullshit right now… And that is the part I hate the most in this game.
In outpost rush I saw undying parties. They just stand there while 10+ ppl attacking them and survive for a minute without any healer help or so. Was part of an outpost capture, where no one died for minutes!! As there were sacred ground everywhere, you could not tell which is friendly and which isn’t and so on.
Besides duels, I find it a waste of time and no meaning, as they last waaaaay toooo long and reward nothing.
