How about there are two versions of the mythic set

I disagree. There should be a balance between some 'luck' based items and some that you can earn by xx amount of runs like the teeth vendor was working for us. And the ones from the non-luck should be prime pieces and the best. Telling you, there is a huge population of people that simply have bad luck and just never get these drops. It's enough to drive a lot of people from the game from utter frustration. If the entire 4 set mythic has a luck component in every single piece? GG trying for that. It's not fair and hard work should be rewarded as well.
They could do two pieces with 'luck' based crafting and two pieces that you can purchase outright with currency without a luck drop at all. Should not be sup-par!!!!!
Reward the farmers, remove some of the luck. I hope this thread is considered!!!
No, just no. This will perpetuate what's happening now: more reward for plat farming than actual pve farming, players not motivated to farm anything but lockeds, people mooching in cities because opening lockeds make more economic sense, f2p players losing interest. Hell no. Whatever comes out of locked should just be expediter or embellishments of the farmed mythic gear. It should never be in any way superior to the gear the majority of players will be farming and crafting. Or believe me, the exodus and quitting you see now will be nothing compared to what will take place if this locked-item superiority scenario is implemented
Sidenote/Query:
I am assuming that the developers must have a way to tell which 'platform' a player is playing on (and their country of origin too). I'm basing this assumption on the fact that I can't do free platinum offers on any of my devices (android or chrome, US based).
Can't they use this information to also put limits on whichever platforms (assuming PC/Chrome version is the major offender?) are the most problematic when it comes to botting and/or plat farming to resolve some of the cheating issues?
Just my opinion that fixing the cheating might allow the rest of us to have more fun in the game since some of the other limitations might be removed.
I tried to put all this together and this is what I got:
There would be a quest where you have to farm the map 1000x for an untradeable version of the mythic set. There would also be a farmable luck based version from Elite chests (the ingredients would drop more often in elite chests then locked crates). The luck version one would be tradeable with a little extra bonus. I also suggest an AP for completing the quest (similar to the AP for restoring the mythic armors).
This way, you get a decent reward for your hard work, and you can still farm for the bonus one
I want the non maxed geared players to consider something. While having a concrete way to farm new mythic set will lead you to owning mythics, the process won't be an easy way to make gold. As with all things in AL, the early bird gets the worm.
For example, if an arena run should take a mixed party 8-10 minutes a run but takes my party 4-5min, that is a big advantage for the heavily geared. Time spent considered equal, literally half the time.
Some people will be more relaxed about running sure, but some will be running for this stuff the it's a LB.
They did mention that no components would come from locks and that some ingredients were tradable and some weren't. That means that everyone will have to farm at least some for the set.
STS never will change this system. STS is money, They need money, money, money, money, learn something MONEY. xS
This isn't true. If they want only money they wouldn't even put recipe and fossil in arena. And they are working hard to make the game enjoyable for everyone. Ofcourse they need monetize the game for more contents and further development of the game. It takes lot of hard work to develop the game. But i wanted to say don't monetize the core of the game (that's the class balance, content balance and PVP ).
Trust me they make more money than they need, they just want to become millionaires overnight. Try paying £70 for plat that gives you nothing in return. Something that cost them nothing to create and then they go throwing iPads at walls, you will see if you saw the alpha video to CoC. An old game I played my guildies got bought the code from a rogue employee and made a private server and was able to run that efficiently with tiny donations from avid fans like myself. And the game was very very bigger than this. One of the guys that did this was only 16 as well so if they can do that with that little money, why can't sts with 100x more

I know my point was a little off topic, just that your comment about potential complaints of 'botting' reminded me of how cheating seems to be a big issue in AL and bots and plat farming were the two major culprits. The reason I mentioned it, was because I don't have access to free platinum offers, and I am assuming that is because of the plat farming issues, which basically means I get penalized because of the cheaters.
Maybe they could consider an additional in game currency that is ONLY available for purchase with actual cash/credit card payments, and not via free offers. At least they would know these are legit purchases, with actual traceable cash receipts tied to them. Possibly even set up a vendor where we can get perks such as special upgrade gems. Something to help out in the game, but not anything that would drastically change the flow of the game. Anyway, you're right, that is really off topic, so I'll get back on topic now, 8^).
I have to agree with the original poster that having some options other than 'pure luck' for getting some of the 'nicer things in life' in this game.
I spend a LOT on platinum (more than I care to admit) because I would like to have something better than 'legendary' items to play the game with.
However, it would be nice to know that there are some option 'other' than pure luck for getting good items. I have no problem with farming for stuff, I put in a lot of time as it is, but you can only go so far with pink items.
I'm not saying I should get the best stuff just because I paid for platinum, but by the same token, getting absolutely nothing to show for the money makes you wonder why you're just throwing money at the game (and not just buying a game system instead, or anything else that is a sure bet for that matter).
I don't mind spending money on the game, it is a GOOD game, I just wish there was a little more to show for it, 8^).
So once again, the person farming their heart out for ingredients/elite chests and components needed for untradeable set still has to have the second best?
How about my farmed mythic set is no different than the one from the elite chests, the only difference is I can't sell mine?
Because I really hate the idea of farming my *** off and having to settle for second best, only to be cornered into buying another luck based mythic set because it's slightly better.
This would be 8 pieces of gear that I would have to work for? That's completely unreasonable and unnecessary even for the most hardcore of farmers. Beyond that, what the hell would I do with the untradable set after I worked my way into the luck-based one with the set bonus? Is it supposed to rot in my inventory? Because that's what will happen, which totally undermines the 'achievement' in the first place.
Yeah... No second best for hard earned items... They should be same whether u get lucky or work your hiney off for it
At the most maybe different colors, but same stats n bonus
In the spoiler thread they said you'll need components to craft the new sets (two for the pink sets, and three for the myth sets). So why not just sell the components? Everyone is going to need them anyway and it could work as a steady source of income provided they fall into the relatively rare from bosses or chests catergory as drops. Say, the same rate as the current Dark Crystal sets? That would keep them high enough for people to stay interested in farming for a good long while.
