    There's a difference between easily obtainable and unrealistically insane. That's what this thread is about.

    And I'd be happy with anything better than the current gear - but it has to be farmable (and not farmable in the sense that you complete 30 runs and get a single trash version of the item). Crates have enough exclusive stuff. Until they get a complete refresh, nobody's going to be opening them in any case.

    I think its time for mythics to go home, and i dont know why we even have those sucky legendaries when clearly noone uses them. Why waste so much time and effort on things which are not going to be used by anyone?

    Yes fossil rarity farmables are not farmable in any practical way. They are so rare that all except the extremely lucky would go broke trying to farm it. Farmables have a calculable cost benefit based on value and drop rate/rarity.

    I am holding out on farmable mythics until I see how the amulet is handled. This has to be a difficult farm but also reasonable and calculable. The fossil is neither.

    Better quality for effort given, as it stands..i'm just waiting for events...and maybe the new game thats in production to be released.

    Thus why tier 2 gear will still remain viable & profitable for a long time to come. Tier 1 would just be a bonus to entice hardcore players.

    It seems everyone wants to have their cake and eat it too. This happened in PL and within a month or two, most players had the best gear and there was nothing else to work for. Dragon armors were extremely difficult to get but that did not stop them from eventually flooding the market. Heck, after the initial craze wears off...few want to actually farm it leaving a dead end income source for STG. Remember, this is a mobile game - very few players want to actually farm mindlessly hence the two tier gear set.

    I too do not want to farm mindlessly for the top gear but it's a necessary evil to keep longevity of the game.

    It would not change much. If one remembers, a full mythic set was only 25 damage over the highest legendary equipment. It could be overcome through skill as was within the margin of error.

    Thus, this is why I think my proposed solution is manageable.

    Farming entails a large part of the game. It's called PvE. Opening crates with cash isn't playing. It's sitting in a casino handing out money.

    I don't think everything should be based on loot though. Something should just be based on hard work. Like there should be a super hard boss, and at the end you get a reward because you beat the boss. I think after every 20 planar runs you do you should get some small incentive or something

    It does and there will be a large part of that game to work for. I agree that opening crates isn't playing but with the freemium system, it is necessary. I think the system that you are describing would work well in a monthly membership based game.

    I'm just asking for the new legendary (in this case planar) gear to be better than the current mythics, and for the rates to be more than a couple of trash pinks in 30 completed runs.

    Whatever else they do is for another discussion, really. The problem being addressed on this thread is extremely bad quality at obscenely low odds.

    PvE isn't all farming. It's boring if that was true.

    Yes, that I can agree with. They really do need to replace the mythic gear. I just hope what they do not do is release a new set of mythic gear and leave farmers stranded which is why I suggested the multiple set idea.

    This post is completely true, even on elite maps, the drop rate now seems so low that it cant barely compensate your wasted time, pots, elixir and ankhs.

    So what are we grinding for? Pvp all day?

    Im a warrior, with bulwark on pve. Your calculation costs me 100% more. Not having good drops seens planar patch.

    We need a comment from Sts right now, and see what they think...I haven't ran a single run, and I won't until we know what is going to happen.

    ^^ This. We both agree with this. Then, if these days it's almost impossible to get a profit by "farming" why do you now ask for new myths? Only people who plays from 4 seasons before and has got 20 mil stashed can have them. Now that there are new farmeables you want new myths? I understand you, I would like to forget about the junky lvl 26 helm too, but we have to wait till economy rises if not there's gonna be a massive quit. Its like, now it's hard to get 100k per day, we spend all our gold in an armor that once upgraded is not treadable, and they make new armor of 15 mil that makes this one unuseful. What gonna happen? You decide.

    The request is for farmable gear that is better than the old mythics. I wouldn't give a hoot if they were epic, as long as it's something better.

    Not to be a bad person but IMO I think STS are not going to do anything about it... We have to ask several times so they can listen to us.. I agree with serancha, farming in arena=losing money
