Is buying a hof carry still worth?

Hof was the weekly and ppl noticed ninja nerf. I like it. I got my first hm clear today. Mol was hard, but after enough nerf, now weekly board can actually fill up. That means a lot of guilds can clear mol. So it’s pretty obv mol skin can be earned fairly easy now. The most obv nerf in hof is 4th boss is now a stack and burn after 40%. Combine with the nerfs from dragon bone patch. Is it still worth to pay millions of gold for hof skin?

    I think that was the vAS+2 exploit, which, no, that was straight up an exploit, and you can get banned for it.

    Buying carries in general is cheesy imo. I wouldnt feel right wearing a skin I didnt earn. I know people who have done it, Just not something I could see myself doing. I have never bought my way through any dungeon/trial/crafting research, I like to earn my stuff the old fashioned way. :) I dont have any skins yet, My guild is putting together a trials team now that has the dps to clear hm trials, So hopefully some skins in the near future!

    I haven't run vHOF recently. What is this nerf? Stack and burn after 40%? Is that intended?

    Spend three or four hours plinking away at the boss, then cry because they get banned for it because they, "didn't know."

    Don't buy a carry, someone could be trying to cheat you trough it. That can get you banned and maybe perma banned.

    What changed in HoF? I don’t think anything should changed to make the fight easier based on the patch notes.

    Summerset patch notes:
    “Improved the game performance during the encounter with the Refabrication Committee.”

    Edit: Just found this in 4.0.8:
    “The Overcharging Aura of the Fabrication Committee will once again function properly.”

    Sounds like a fix rather than a nerf, though the net effect will be the same as if it was a nerf. Glad to see this tbh.

    Is it still worth to pay millions of gold for hof skin?

    Does this even need to be said? Apparently it does, so:

    To pay for a trophy is not "worth it", even if it is a single in-game gold coin.

    ..... yeah, no

    If it costed one gold coin everyone would’ve purchased the skins in a heartbeat lol.

    Yeah. It’s worth it. So is VMOL. The chances you are able to throw together a pug group and beat it are pretty much non existent. Unless you can find yourself in some guilds core team you’ll never get a shot at it. It’s not even worth your time trying to PuG.

    I completed Vet SCP yesterday, and now I have the bust proudly on display in my house.

    If I hadn't earned it, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit proud, buying carries begs the question of why bother playing at all?

    Pretty sure quite a few bigger trial guild has open run clear vmol whenever it’s weekly.

    Sure, but those runs are usually being carried by some experienced players and can't be considered full pugs imo. Next to that in most cases those open runs do state some minimal requirements. As for vMOL this however is a decent way to learn and clear that trial. You'll see the same for vAS and probably vAS soon as well. Full pugs however won't clear a vMOL, let alone vHOF. The latter trial is on a different level when it comes to overall difficulty, and really does require some kind of solid group at least.

    Of course everything is "pug'able" as long you filter your search for players. If you're putting 12 top raiders together from different guilds, you may be able to beat the hardest hardmodes, but how much of a pug group you'll still have?

    Why buy a carry when you can get good and actually contribute to the team? Getting good is free too. Quit ruining the game economy with this crap. You vet trial carry buyers and gold sellers alike. Stop it. Just stop it. Shame on you

    “Getting good” takes time. Lots of time. Time that most people don’t have, and revolving around a strict role-based playstyle, scheduling your play time to match with 11 other ppl, and a lot of times even drama they don’t want any part of. That’s not free.

    Also how is Vet trial carry buying = gold selling ?? You sound angry but not entirely knowledgeable of everything surrounding the topic at hand.... please elaborate for us.
