As a crafter our hours of hours will be all for nothing, our 600 gear for those that dont farm HWM will be CRAP!
This will surely get many to quit. Bravo AGS! The most ridiculous move EVER!
I hate running elites and chests, i like to farm and CRAFT!
There will be no way to make coin now off great gear!
Towns will die. Have you truly thought about this?
No crafting fees, no trading fees.
It’s wonderful, crafters with watermark will reap the rewards rather than any average joe who easily got their crafting to 200 to make 100ks of gold.
Explain why this is breaking the game. Most people like me haven’t reached that stage of watermark yet.
The idea is pretty simple: if you craft a 550GS piece and a new lvl 60 buys it, his expertise will downscale the piece to w/e his lvl 60 expertise is, say 500. So what is the point in buying crafted gear when you can just use the orbs and farm your expertise / obtain stronger pieces over time.
Also, if you have done 0 HWM farming since launch, maxed out all professions, and crafted all top tier high GS sets, you are about to reset to basically what a fresh 60s power spike is. Your gear will be meaningless because you “didn’t do end game the way AGS wanted you to”
My favorite part is how they presented it.
“We heard you! Everyone thinks the watermark system is grindy and not fun, here is our solution: Everyone HAS to do it!”
What a joke. I am starting to believe that they are actively trying to get players to quit.
I think so too lol… doing the opposite
This doesn’t make sense and now seems very confusing, but this sounds like it’s forcing players to PVE their carrot, while crafting will be made for folks leveling it up. I really hope this doesn’t get implemented because it just makes it more confusing and not worth while for players.
You should only be buying gear for stats and perks.
So what if the gear levels down, if it has good stats and perks it levels up with you and you’ll still want it and use it.
The only thing this really hurts is people trying to sell crap gear in the AH for big coin because it’s legendary. No one wants to pay 5k for your light armor that has STR and INT with a bow perk.
Because I just gather and craft I’m the average Joe?
Second. Only a select few will buy gears.
Enjoy having your gear score reset to 500!
Congratulations! 
Congratulations!
