Poll about whether to have the amount of Crystals required for a retrait reduced.

40 is probably too high but I wouldn't want it too low either. I mean whats the point if you can simply change all the gear you want whenever you want. Maybe lower it to 30, or even 25 doesn't seem too low. That or, like others have said give a chance for more than one to drop from each activity. Or something like getting extra crystals for doing veteran hard mode in dungeons or trials.

Ten or twenty crystals is way too low for each item to be retrained though. There has to be some sense of achievement. I'm not a huge fan of running dungeons repeatedly for certain trait weapons but when I do find what I need I'm ecstatic. Who the hell cares what they get or how good it is if it is just handed to you immediately after the system comes out after playing dungeons for a couple hours. Ya know?

From what I understand there are multiple ways to obtain theses crystals though right? In pve is vet dungeons and trials and random vet dungeons. rewards for the worthy in pvp and leaderboard scores. I think they could do with some more options on both fronts. maybe that can split the difference.

Also getting rid of this 200 crystals cap seems like a good idea too. Whats the point of that anyways?

Also there are a couple vet dungeons that are fairly easy to solo for the person that mentioned that. Darkshade one and fungal grotto one comes to mind. I get you're point though. All in all there need to be more ways to obtain these crystals above all else, I think. At least introduce a chance to get them from existing activities if not a guaranteed drop. Like doc dove and world boss dailies and collect craglorn and mage's guild/fighter's guild/undaunted dailies for instance.

No, leave it how it is, I'd rather grind out 40 dungeons.

Currently on PTS, 40 crystals are required to retrait an item, with only 1 crystal being rewarded for the completion of any vet content. This means that in order to retrait a single item, you must first run a vet dungeon, arena or trial 40 times in order to obtain enough crystals. In most cases, this will probably mean running vet spindle because that's the shortest. 40 times. Per item.

You are treating the problem all wrong. Those of us who do not care to retrait at all want to SELL our Crystals to those who do... BoP is lazy and should never be implemented without EXTREME care. ZoS you are just tossing out BoP like it's candy.

If I earn it I should be able to sell it, trade it or GIVE it to whomever I please.

It's like when you PROMISED no CD's on skills but then put CD's on EVERY single proc 5 pc armor instead of just adjusting the values on percentages and procs. It's lazy. Please stop.

Please ZoS, lower the amount of crystals required for retraiting to 10

Before you accuse someone of being elitist, think about why you even play an MMO.

...because it's a game which should be fun, not work. I get paid for work.

If you want "perfect gear for only the most competitive hardcore" then why don't you play Starcraft or some other game with professional players for esports?
Esports are made for your opinion position. This game is not.
