I ran out of thanks (wth? ) and so lemme thank you in this way Jon.

I worked hard to level and upgrade fast because I thought those who level up fast will enjoy extra profits coming from rare items. Profit for hard work, isn't it fair? Now what happened?

1) Lower level elites are so easy that it is actually waste of time waiting for a party (up to Bael). Compare Mali prices at the beginning of former expansions and now.

2) Some former popular hard maps are now easy in a moderate party (Oltgar may be an exception, those damned pigs bite really hard lol )

3) Shuyal Elites stuff farming is mostly replaced by easy drops and all the effort to level up and farm in new areas went in vain

OK, Shuyal mobs and their rings are still out there... what other possibilities does an average plat spender/mercher have to earn for arcane item? Or, did STS leave gambling as the only way on purpose? May be...
