    Default Just to clarify, plat gear is still the best

    You cannot farm lvl 21 pinks. The only way to get it is through plat purchases and the grab bags.

    The best items in the game are still purchased through plat.

    Not everyone is 21, but they changed the stats of regular weapons to match plat weapons

    By very little.

    I'm 21 and wouldn't buy the packs. Content with farming.

    Agreed but im still happy about the increase of stats on the droped items. Shows me that sts listens and they care.
    Maybe in the near future they will implament dropable lvl 21gear.

    ...and lvl 21 pinks are better than lvl 20 pinks. Just like lvl 20 pinks are better than lvl 19.

    My point is that plat gear is still the best in the game. A level 21 in full 21 plat will have better stats than a lvl 21 that farmed the best items in game.

    People are making the argument that you can farm equivelant pinks. Which is only the case being under 20, in end game, plat gear is still the best for lvl 21 and ultimately for the entire game.

    So at 21... what makes the most sense to buy? The 50 plat pack? The 25 plat pack? or the 15 plat packs?

    Lvl 21 gems are slighty better. True one gem won't do much, but 4 will give a decent boost to the overall stats.

    Level 21 gear doesn't drop? Is that simply a matter of there only being 20 levels of content currently available (hence the huge amount of experience needed to reach 21, I assume)?

    But nobody even bothers but a select few and its unlikley to have them all in 1 match ornpve... it doesnt really matter, please stop this qq over the plat items.

    Like the little bridge over the stream, get over it. Take care

    That's the point. It cheapens the game. Why farm for hours when it is better to drop the 20 bucks and get the best gear in the game. Of course it will cost a lot more than $20 to get the best plat gear, but lesser 21 plat pinks are still going to have slightly better stats than lvl 20 in-game pinks.

    I don't really care that much. My point is that this game is still a pay to win system. The time you are going to spend farming, the guy that bought his gear is going to spend pvping. I know not everyone cares about pvp, but that's primarily where the biggest imbalance in the game is, and pvp is the endgame. vs/stop is still the dominant spec and people in 21 plat have an advantage.

    Eh im content with my non plat gear, mainly because it doesn't matter. I frequently stomp most players who come at me with full pink plat gear, and the only pink I have is my weapon, my gems are green.

    Deal with the hand your dealt, even the less powerful gear can put you out on top if you try.

    Well, most of the top pvper's are walking around pretty decked out. I can't think of any that stand out and are not using full plat.

    Are you 21 and do you pvp often? What's your ign, I'll keep an eye out for you to see how well you do.

    Yes, but some people look at their bad stats and blame their gear... and only their gear...
