You dont like any end-game system and all you do is craft/gather = you dont actually like the game you just like wasting your own time. If you dont like doing any of the end game shit what is that HWM gear for anyway? And how in the world is being able to buy your way past end game a good system?
he does not even understand gate the crafted items with a water mark just as with dropped item so they rise together is that so hard.

literally all that is happening to your gear is that the stats will be scaled down and as you increase your WM the stats will go up, your 600GS gear will still be leaps better than what anyone who doesnt have a 600gs set up has. and it will continuously get better as you do shit.
Isn’t crafted gear that you select the perk and stats just normally gonna be better than most things 600wm people will get as drops? If anything more people will be looking to crafters to provide the better customized gear for their playstyle. Not to mention crafters like myself who didn’t raise wm can also customize our gear with these changes as well. So even if it’s effectiveness is lowered the higher customization could very well increase its ability even at lower expertise.
So you zerg some open world mobs that cant touch WoW mythic raids and you want to act like your leet.
Want to keep going…you will continue to look foolish.
The whole game is set around gathering and crafting. The only system that is set around PVE is the HWM system.
The current end game is poor, because it’s low in the fun department. I have run Myrk and other elite areas, and looting the same chests and killing the same mobs over and over again for a HWM increase is boring to the max.
If anything they should base the HWM of either the HWM, or your highest crafted gear score. Just dropping your crafted gear score to your HWM score is a bad idea.

at last some one gets it
Simple principle, right? You can buy all the gear you want, you will still need either a HWM from elite grinding, or a HWM from crafting.

exactly, i didnt just craft 600 gs items and put them on and then im at 600 gs right off the bat. I had to keep putting on my better gs pieces, after i got my armorsmithing gear and trophies, with the right perks and it slowly raised from 500 to 590 slowly just how putting on higher gs drops would. I didnt just max out instantly lmao

Let’s face it: The HWM idea is trash. Zerging chest farms is mindless and boring and requires zero thought, effort or skill aside from staying with the group to the next chest to click.
Now the Devs have stated that anyone that didn’t zerg chests, and decided to craft gear played the game wrong for 2 months.
With the Expertise system, my gear and stats will become weaker, and I will now have to pay a daily 600g tax per orb to the governing company of my choice for the privilige of making my gear better.
So, sometime in the spring/summer of 2022 my gear will eventually be as strong as it once was in Nov 2021.
I can’t believe people are defending this upcoming change.
Time gating does not equal content!

they made a post last night saying they’d “reduce the cost drastically” that if the change went through because of all the negative feedback paying 200k to max 600gs was getting
It’s a major issue within AGS. They do not think about some of the consequences their changes will have, and just steam ahead regardless of what their customers think.
It’s sad, because they have a good basis for a game. It’s just poor decisions on their end that are slowly but surely taking this game down the charts.
fax the time gate is just screwing crafters and gathers and anyone who didnt do the elite chest runs every day for the last two months because apparently our play styles grind were worthless with out the pve grind this game is literally forcing us to take part in
You are making some assumptions. Is the open world content a zerg fest? Yes. Does it have to be? No. It is YOUR choice to be part of the zerg fest. You can do it without it being a zerg fest. So don’t assume that I got my wm to what it is by doing a zerg fest. Some people did/do, some people did/do some, some people did/do none of that.
Yes your boars are easier. By definition it is. It is single player content. You do not need 600wm gear to kill ANY level 60 boar in the game.
the servers a going to get real quiet soon it carries on they are upsetting the player base big time every patch
So they’ll lower the tax drastically because of all the negative feedback, but they’ll keep the shit system in place that will hamstring a player like me until Summer 2022. What horseshit.
Yet its ok for you to assume every crafter sits in town 18 hours a day.
What’s not good is dupers that added extra coin and items to the game, I’m sure there is still some of that floating around. What’s not good is the way AGS designed territory control, allowing companies to buy whatever they wanted.
What’s not good is the lazy fix AGS is implementing. That is all expertise is, a lazy fix for bad design and failed work on bots and dupes.
