On the event leaderboard it shows as if you can win vanities for all classes, and many of us run for lb thinking those are the prizes. Is it a misunderstanding? Will those on top only win 1 vanity set per class?

Hey guys, to clear this up, all of the top 25 winners for each class will receive ALL 3 vanities. That way, if you win on a twink, you've got a vanity for your main, or vice versa. They are only stashable though, not tradeable. So no trade-sies except to yourself.
It's not extorting...either you can afford it or you cannot - just like real life!
For someone like me, who is much too busy to be running an event for the vanity - I'd much rather pay someone a great deal of gold who went through the trouble of running the event.
Yea with the gold inflation the way it is..only the rich would trade amongst themselves, So I say nope.
Real life any player can just buy the plat and buy them so i see no justification from a LB runner (its a prize for the LB runner). Plus the devs can get income on top of that...I see a win/win for average players and devs.
Just like anything, exclusive items will always have a crazy high premium that others will not be able to afford. The inflation has been dead and vanities are actually lowering in price slowly but steadily. With each new item release, you will see that impact tenfold.
Would the rich trade it among themselves? Sure, but they're the only ones that can afford it. Make sense?
Also, keep in mind that there are 75 of each vanity, 75. I'm sure you could pick one up at a reasonable price.
I agree with Hali.
It's pointless and makes no sense if we spend millions of golds on kits/lots of money on plats and spend 12 days to earn something you can't ever sell again. If Remiem didn't give us this info we would have lost 20m golds for basically nothing useful like the solid gold vanity.
Please, make a decision fast! Ty.
Think you guys went in the right direction making these untradeable. If you want them... earn them. If you don't want to spend the gold/plat/time to earn them, then you can't have them.
Like me and you zeus, we could afford such outrageous prices. We need players to stay and have a reason to and feel that items are in there reach..do I need to post the video of the whales in MMO's again? Because being rich is nothing without having friends who don't have deep pockets. I personally love the decision that the devs have made and items will always lower with time. Its the nature of the beast.
Now investing on vanities are the name of the game now a days..get the ones with tokens.
Thats why i posted that a version for plat needs to be available so even the average joe can feel that they accomplished something. If not devs would have release an arcane item for the top ballers.
Lb rewards have never been tradeable why would you expect these ones to be?
Ooh I wasn't here for last event my b
If it is tradeable, I think one vanity per winner is more fair. One vanity for each toon in account is a bit abused
I want the ghost vanity, just because my IGN matches the vanity (reallllly badddlllyy) I would def run LB. I understand that you would finance plat to run it..but now this mean more then just a few rich people can try there luck and not break the bank to run for the nice prizes. People who do run it should do it because they want the items to keep (like me I would keep them I have 3 mains)...and not try to extort players just because they spent energy kits, time, and some plat.
But there is cheaper and cost effective options, aslong as the devs try them out.
People will still run the LB for sure but dont expect any intensity.
As for LB rewards available for plat No just No.
The reward is already not tradeable and wont grant any income...if even the exclusivity gets removed .you can throw your LB in the trash can.
re-colored bud Never did I say the same ones purchasable and lb already get a gift because they get 3 sets.
the only thing exclusivity is anything 1st season...and holiday items always return..just look at this years and last years event.
Im just speeding up the inevitable.
I guess its just a difference in opinion on what an event should be. Play and have fun and compete? or Bankroll for possible mythics down the road.
Play here and now in my opinion. Waitng and waiting and waiting is boring.
Make everything bound (almost). I play another game like that... its MUCH more enjoyable.
But still it's probably for the same reason that season lb banners aren't tradeable
Yea thats another problem, many people see these events as a main gold income. Its not necessarily wrong, because not rly worth farming elite maps and tombs in this part of the season.
I'm a bit of both, i still got my mythic ring which i won on time run contest last summer, many people sold for high price 10m+, i still got it, because im using it. At this event, i really want that frankenstein vanity for my warrior twink, i think it is the best looking vanity in the history of the game, but a few gold would be nice, if i could sell some other things.
Alright listen, I don't think it's right that sts wasn't open about these new restrictions on lb vanities from the get go. Even right now there's no indication on the prize description when I click on my name. Not gd.
On prizes - The time, effort and money spent should at least earn us the freedom to pass on the prize to whoever the darn heck we please. Whether for the price of money or as gifts of friendship, is no one's business but our own.
Yes, we are leaderboarders. But many of us are also paying customers who put our money where our mouths are to help keep the game running. We ask for concrete changes - but then we do not ask for them and then just take advantage of the free to play concept. And we stuck through the plat farming fiasco that left many of us feeling like we overpaid for our experience.
So pls don't punish us now. Do what's sensible, listen to the people who actually keep the game going, and for goodness sake pls make these sets tradeable so we actually have a reason to continue supporting the game. Thx for reading
I don't care if you change the prizes so that if you get top 25, you can only win your class' vanity, but please make it tradable... Zzzz what is this
I love this idea lmao probably best post ive read this year from remiem to make it untradeble the brain who brought the idea god bless you :)
Makes me wonder if u just want the profit from farming and selling or if u want the vanity or not, like Rare says above, if u want the VANITY then ull run it and that's how it definitely should be, and even then people will still spend millions of gold just to get this, people will still buy plat and maybe people who actually want and are willing to spend the time trying to get it will get it
All I know... Is if people continue getting points at the rate they are going... The vanities are going to be so extremely expensive that you might consider going out to get some high end designer fashion instead.
If the event is 2 weeks long, by my back of the napkin math, you would need to spend $900 to be in the top 25 if using plat. If it's 3 weeks try $1,350. You can extrapolate how much it would cost using gold from above.
At that point I imagine Grim eggs will be going for deary prices.
I honestly think this is STS' way of telling us to spend plat or gold, but not TOO much. If they became tradeable, that would be another costly item in circulation, just when the economy is still trying to stabilize itself. The problem I see here though, is that it was never announced that these prizes would be account-bound like banners (unless we all missed the memo). That is, imho, the only hurdle here. Whether the vanities are tradeable or not, it should have been announce right away, when the teasers were released.
