31 mythic weapon vs 36 pinks weapon(nxt big update)

[Zanpakuto]

Hooks should be also scaled along with mythics because it would suck for someone to loot hooks / hammer in the next expansion only to find out that they're not very useful anymore. I mean if arcane pets keep leveling, it makes no sense that arcane weapons don't.

At any rate, they have promised that mythics would be a allowed to be turned in for a upgraded set although they're pretty hush hush on that lately. I bet STS is worried that if weapons are scalable, people would stop buying platinum to open crates! Simple fix.... Make it cost 1000plat to upgrade the mythic and arcane weapons! People that have them surely won't mind paying to upgrade.

I doubt that it will be a simple trade in for gold or plat to upgrade mythic items, if we are going to be able to upgrade them at all. Having all of the current mythic items the best items in the game again next season with just some minor upgrades would break the game. All the top players would have nothing to work towards and the pve portion of the game/farming would literally die. I at least know that i would lose all incentive to do any more farming. As has been suggested before, if there is going to be an option to upgrade, I think it would have to be a system in which you have to farm for/obtain items required to upgrade the mythic gear. This would keep an incentive for people to farm for gear.

How could it possibly to do with your farming incentive. You farm for top legendary.. mythic and arcance are from opening crates!!! people spend real money for it.

With how things are curently set up there is no incentive to farm for legendary gear. If all this game was about was farming for and opening crates, then this game would become very boring indeed, although I frequently believe that this game is heading in this direction. If this became the case, i think a lot more customers would stop playing this game, perhaps including myself. I would have to say that the pve aspect of the game has become very stale this season with no real incentive to farm for legendary items at the moment.

This^^, Mythic/Arcane items were and will never be droppable/farmable items.

I never said they would be. What I am saying is that the last weekend has saturated the game with mythic gear such that every tom, rick, harry and noob is now running around in mythic gear. If this mythic gear continues to be the top gear in the game, and if sts does not develop some sort of system for upgrading mythics that involves farming for crafting materials such as diamonds, any incentive for farming for gear will be lost and the pve side of the game has the potential to be ruined. Top players will have absolutely no incentive to farm for legendary gear next season as there will be no one to spend millions on the top legendary gear that will be inferior to the mythic gear that they already have. The beginning of the past few seasons has been fueled by that rare legendary warrior weapon or armor that occasionally drops and is worth millions (I myself have had several drops worth 2-4m each in the beginning of each season). Anyone who could afford to spend millions on such legendary gear has already bought mythics, so there will be no one to buy this legendary gear and it will be worthless. Pve and farming will be broken unless there will be some type of item that drops that is required to upgrade mythic gear.

That is a.very good valid.point Grimmy. Never thought of how useless the elite pinks are to those with mythics. So something defiantly needs to be done to keep farming alive. That's the biggest thing I hate in al right now and I can't belive how screwed up drops are. As I said in a post back is I don't know what sts means by they have more control over luck with these chests and crates. The funnest aspect I've seen in most MMOs is that the top gear can be farmed, not gambled on

They control it because luck has no affect on the loot you get from chests or crates.

First, Oysters here are four times the size of DC oysters which required more fuel to eat them. Second, new gear in expansion will cost the same if Mythics exist or not, Mythics will just cost more. Third, your line of thinking assumes AL has peaked and. no new players will EVER join. Fourth, save a horse, ride a cowboy .., sorry, next bar calling.

Whoa whoa whoa Grim, you always speak with logic and knowledge which means I can never "call you out". I agree with most if you points brother..

Sorry drgrimmy, my post seems a bit rude in the light of day and could quite well be wrong since this is all just opinions. No more posting from Bourbon Street for this bear of little brain.

Don't worry guys, no offense taken. Just wanted to point out a concern of mine. I know a lot of people may or may not agree, and I may even be running around screaming that the sky is falling. Nevertheless, I think that these are things that sts should give consideration to when they are deciding the fate of the mythic gear. Cheers!
