Since these trials (AA/HRC/SO) completely outdated, how do u think is it a good idea to make sets like Mage and Warrior available for sell, like it used to be for a short period in the past? @ZOS ?
With all the whining and complaining I see on a daily basis about nerf this and buff that, I will say that hands down the biggest mistake that ZOS has made to date was boosting the level cap to 16 and not scaling trials. The game will never be perfectly balanced, and someone is always going to find the next exploit and abuse it, but this decision baffles me.
Simply put, they made a significant portion of the game worthless. There is absolutely no reason to run trials anymore, and I have seen 2 of my guilds virtually dissolve since patch. The only 12-man content left in this game is zerg running.
I am generally against BoP items, but allowing me to sell outdated trial items wont really change anything. With the exception of maybe Vicious Ophidian (although v16 hundings >>>>> v14 VO), there is not a useful set for endgame. I dont think there would be an after market to sell this stuff for much more than decon value.
The solution is so simple. Scale trials and the resulting drops up to V16 and perhaps introduce a mechanic to scale up V14 bound set pieces to V16. It could be a crafting passive or an item (with the scarcity of something like Nirn or Roe) that allows you to upgrade some old gear.
