**Ovtlaw** · 05-03-2015, 01:01 PM

Guys, we should ask sts to bring back para gems event... Since there so many new op gear items but so hard to have para...

Para gem was a part of the ursoth event I think, which is certainly coming back , though nothing's confirmed about the gem

Might as well, the rich people are reserving them for 46 anyway...

**Titanfall** · 05-03-2015, 04:35 PM

Lets not, because rich people will hoard them, and when new gear releases rich people will para them and have a solid advantage ALL THE TIME. Until the para gets overthrown. Lets not make a big problem even bigger, okay?

Have you tried level 15? You can run them same as endgamers with maxed out gear (all rogue) and play as a warrior with gear costing 10-50k and u 1 hit everything anyway.

Trust me, I've done it...

The event was 3-4 weeks last year, that was enough to get a para without spending a single penny.
If you make multiple toons then you can farm at least 3 by playing for 30-45mins a day...

Hmm Correction : Halloween Event is only up for 1 week and a few days .... The 3-4 weeks one is the Ursume Event

Well said Titan. I agree. I'll be very blunt. I can see what the truth is behind the hype. When it is said that let us bridge the gap between the rich and poor and release para gems again, it is a farce. Tossing only para gems again into the game is not the solution to bridge the gap. The gap will not be bridged because the richest will always have more than the average player and on top of that they also have the best gear, multiple arcane rings, multiple arcane pets. The market has tons of para-gemmed items. The solution is enabling the average player to earn enough gold so that he can go buy the para-gemmed items and other things he needs.

As you said, indeed it is a fact that only a player with tons of gold/plat can afford to multiple run the event if a Para event happens, he can do it hundreds of times more than an average player - because of advantages. I will not mince my words. When para gems come back in the event, the richest will benefit the most. The average player will with much difficulty grab one , the seasoned player will grab 3-5 and the elite richest players will grab 10s-20s of them and maybe more. That is no solution to bridging gaps.

If they are released in arena, the richest will again benefit the most. Does the average player have the equipment to successfully do the hardest runs? No he barely finds a party. While he is gathering his gear to be good enough which will take ages, (since the richest players hoard the best gear sell to him at cut throat prices , in other words merch), fresh para gems will be hoarded again. It becomes a cycle. Now when there are only a few para-stackers, we dont want a situation of where there are multiple of them para-stackers. It is better to let the para gem supply exhaust to prevent more hoarders from stacking.

It took me close to 1m gold to loot one during the halloween event. After buying energy and crafting energy. I am not sure why you will not give away numbers. How much gold did you spend and how many did you loot? That info is required to substantiate your point because "much gold" and "'enough" are relative terms. :P

I don't know about you but I spent about 250k per character to get to platinum tier. I didn't speed grind any of it as I didn't really need to.

TBH the Paragem only creates real disability issues in Twink PvP. At endgame their DMG bonus is outmatched by other stats in other items by next expansion. So it doesn't make sense why STS will reintroduce this already controversial item just for the twinks.

**Disproves** · 05-04-2015, 02:36 AM

The problem is, if you don't bring them back where are new players going to get them from? I do agree that they killed twinking as you have to have para gear now (which most twinks do) so if you didn't bring them back it would be unfair on the new player. Yes people will hoard them but what's that to stop the new player too? If I was a new player let's say just hit 41 and there's people with 100 more damage then me just because of gems I would probably quit. I sold my para gem and the only reason I haven't quit is because I don't do twink and I rarely PvP.
