Yep! I’d much rather the motif style pages not be in the crown store to start but also not be on the guild stores at all. It would bring a lot more prestige to the way people look rather than whipping out your wallet or whatever

But then what do you do with useless duplicates?

They can't replace it with a different drop once you've got one because some players craft on multiple characters, but other players will only need it for 1 (or a small number of) characters. With all the other motifs you can sell the useless extras so you still get something from it, if they're bound you can't do that, it just means repeating the same areas is less rewarding.

the ones they are talking about were adding to a cyro vendor, and become locked once you buy and learn it

if you buy 2 of them before learning it, thats just wasted AP as they specifically state they are "bound" style pages

i think it costs around 1.65 million AP to buy all 11 style pages

Exactly those. I really like things you have to earn by yourself. You cant just buy a Carry or Throw money at the Store. You have to work for it. I hope more things like those will be implemented!

I think that would depend on if demand for said items became high enough.

If significant demand existed, you could potentially see groups set up a "PvP Training and Experience" Service that charged players a monthly fee and let them play alongside them on their faction for a time window".

During said window, the group could pick the most unpopular campaign and attempt to flip the entire campaign to their faction with the training players leeching er I mean following around and learning to PvP.

Then, after the time window closes they could hop to the next faction and take the map for that faction.

Depending on how exactly the low population functions, they could attempt to trigger the bonus for whatever faction they would be operating on.

They'd likely have small "Washington Generals" teams operating on the other factions to ensure some level of engagements do occur but that they favor the other faction and to clean off people that aren't paying occasionally (You'd probably be in violation of harassment rules if you did it all of the time).

Obviously, this type of setup would include a rather significant amount of effort so you'd need solid demand to cover the costs of the efforts involved.

You could provide similar services for Tel Var where you'd allow players to group with you and farm bosses on a low activity campaign. You could also sell Tel Var directly to players by dying to them strategically.
