    who said you are forced to go in there?

    Obviously if you want the top end gear you have two choices. Risk being ganked and having hours of your loot stolen from you, with a 50 TV Stone Surcharge for Banking them added ontop of insult. Or you wait for people to risk everything to get the mats back to the PvE zones and then mark them up with high prices because of the enormous risk involved in getting it to the traders.

    Oh, so you've had a glimpse to all the top end gear and where it drops? And you've already theorycrafted that an optimal setup will require you to go into a dangerous territory? Or god forbid, something unheard of.... spend gold?

    Why don't they just drop our BIS gear into the mailbox when patch launches, I will never understand /sarcasm
    One way or the other, youre being forced to do something to obtain that gear.

    Yeah, like run Undaunted pledges or Trials/DSAV. Poor PvPers...

    I'm getting sick of all this QQ.

    After only just 1 day? PVE'ers have almost 2 years worth of complaining to catch up to ;)

    Some of it will slack off when PTS hits and everyone gets a better idea what's going on




    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    how u know it will be top gear? it will more likely only be differnt gear. many of the best gear sets have been around since v1 and get added to the new lvling fold.

    Again noone said anything about not wanting pvp. What people are upset about is losing all your stuff when you die. That is all.

    Thats the PvP content! The risk of losing stuff. And before the slippery slope fallacy stuff comes as it has; its not anything major that you use and worked a long time for like your gear; its stuff that you are fighting over to begin with! You lose nothing you came with.

    Thats nonsense. Losing stuff is not part of PVP in this game never has been. You die you have to respawn back at your home area and run/ride all the way back. So what you are saying simply is not true and only a matter of your own opinion.

    Actually it is. You fight to obtain something and you lose it all the time. You fight to take a keep. You lose the keep. You fight to get some stones. You lose some stones. They are not actually yours until you bank them; then and only then, did you earn them. Hell; you even fight NPCs to take a keep.

    Thats not something you have. You dont have a keep its not yours. You cant put it in your bank. So your argument is silly.

    Its just different. Hence why this is NEW content. You never own the stones, until you bank them. It is the same general idea; something to fight over. Thats the entire point. You all just keep thinking its something to farm and it isn't exactly that either.

    Its comparing apples to oranges. Its not even remotely similar. The entire point is earning the stones should be dangerous meaning you can be killed while trying to PVE. You should not lose your stuff because of it.

    It's new so, not really anything to compare it to. And that word "should " is all just opinion as to what you would like them to be. I like them as proposed as something to fight over rather than just a new way to pve quest in a PvP zone. We have that already.
