I value my time. I appreciate games that value my time. BoE sets follow supply/demand metrics, and dungeon sets will always be rarer than overland sets. Making dungeon sets BoE would provide a fantastic way to make extra gold for those who enjoy the grind, and provide a much more enjoyable game for those that don't. It's win/win.
Again, that's how other games work. Doesn't mean that's how this game has to work. Especially with a "play your way" mantra for the game design.Siohwenoeht wrote: »Darkstorne wrote: »Yet another creatively bankrupt "This is how MMOs have always worked, so this is how MMOs should always work" response on these forums...Kiralyn2000 wrote: »Not sure what the issue is here - I've had to do some sort of "grinding for gear" in every MMO I've ever played.

Except the devs want you to play the content to get the sets... You have to play the game, shocking!
It's a form of progression, even though it's horizontal, that requires you to do successively harder content to get the next tier of gear to then do the next level of content.
