My opinions on Artifact farming

[lissil]

I don't see a problem with the current system. Finally there is actually something worth farming for with a twink.

Yes, it's true the prices for the victus rune is more than manga, but that is a temporary thing until more twinks start farming these.

I'll say this once again, but there is no need to farm every item you want. Just like in real life, when you want a steak I doubt many of you decide to start raising cattle. You probably leave that to someone else to do and just buy your steak. We all work jobs doing specific things, and then we use our earned money to buy the other items we need in life. That is how an economy functions, and AL should be no different. Find something you like to farm, then spend your time on that, sell your loot, and then buy the items you need.

I don't know about your twink friends, but my twink friends made twinks to play PvP "all the time" and own that bracket. I doubt a lot of twinks will farm it. Twinks will use lower tier artifacts as well, hence, if they get the best tier artifact for their level bracket, even less twinks will farm it. The huge imbalance between the magna and victus supply is the problem.

Using your steak reference, sure if you want steak, you would probably buy instead of raising cattle on their own. But you could also raise it if you want. However, on runes, and endgame toon is denied that choice. You cannot farm it on that endgame toon. You would have to make another lower level toon, gear it up and farm. No offense, but it's like telling people go make younger versions of yourself to raise cattle, if you get what I mean.

Also, considering the amount of both runes needed to craft per artifact tier, I doubt that the prices on both runes will be close to equal anytime soon. What is asked is for everything to be available to all. That way there would be a better balance of supply on both runes. If not, at least decrease the amount of victus runes needed for crafting the artifact. We are not saying we will farm everything we need by ourselves, we are just asking to have the option to farm it.
