Greetings all,

We are glad that every is this thread is rather active. We understand not everyone may be happy with the changes that have been made, as well as the changes that are to be made. We would however like to request that the conversation be kept civil and constructive. Thank you for your understanding.

I will not sit idle by while ZOS ruins this game!

....the struggle is real!

Don't you guys think Wrobel actually also plays PvP and he sucks @ it because he spends most of his time working on the game instead of playing so when he says he doesn't want people to have an unfair advantage over other people he is referring to himself as the person who would be disadvantaged?

No, I don't think he plays this game at all.

It's pretty evident that he doesn't play enough to understand that some of his ideas, are detrimental to the customers of the game.

Restricting access to gear to players who saved save up the gold/AP to buy it when it becomes available is a terrible idea. Anybody who can afford items should be free and able to buy them when they want, without being held back by arbitrary restrictions.

If you don't want people with high AP to get full sets quickly, why don't you just release them slowly instead of taking away the AP people earned.

Also, making the vendor gear top out at V14 is rediculous. It is completely worthless once you reach V16.

Make it V16, lag the release of it, leave peoples AP alone and give us more to spend it on.

It just makes sense to plan ahead and save in this game, I have had a clear view since the start of the game on what I wanted from my character. So you save for that, you plan to do a little bit here and thre working towards your goal and turning your character into a god! Now I might get penalized beacause hard work, planning and forward thinking has gave me an advantage over other players?! That only makes sense in Bizarreo world

It is ZOS's fault that we have so much AP because they did not scale up the gear when they should have done.

It is now time to scale up the gear, accept that some players will have advantages over others, and then, bring out new stuff to spend AP on.

Just write off the cost and accept that you need to scale all gear at same time. Not everything need be scaled quite so heavily into forcing us to buy the DLCs. Some of us SUB you know.

Its absolutely ridiculous that pvp players get punished for saving AP when there's nothing useful to buy.

What, you don't want to save up 4.4 million AP to buy the Akaviri motif?

I think most of the players who have a lot of AP weren't "saving" it. They just had nothing to spend it on.

Exactly, which is a Zenimax problem not our problem. I have 15million ap because ZENIMAX didn't update the set bags and gear to v16, so I have NOTHING to spend it on. it's bad for the economy, its bad for the players, it will be hell to pay for the developers if they start punishing players (cap, currency reset) for playing the game and earning points with no way to spend them lol

Been there done that. I now have 200 Alliance potions of each type. Upwards of 1,000 wall repair kits, and too much siege that takes up my bank space. But hey, maybe ONE day I can actually buy something that is useful...

Yeah I found his argument to be lame, it's just a part of content inflation, nothing more nothing less.

Personally I just wanted something to moan about

Had to fix this...

Think about it. Especially when calling on players "whining" about class changes, they don't approve of.

I'd like a ZOS response on this thread other than 'stay civil while we think of and implement stuff no one asked for, while ignoring stuff you ask for(read: AOE caps)'
