Another AL feature for PL. I wonder if we will see more AL loyalists start playing PL as well, as this game slowly becomes more familiar to them.
These gold enchantments will make all sorts of maps a little more fun in terms of payout, especially the gold farming award maps. But those who pvp will now want to have an amulet with pvp stats and an amulet with pve/gold stats. As far as the odds of rolling what you specifically want when enchanting amulets, they just got lower, as 20 new possibilities were just added to the table. As for putting an end to automation, they know how to do it.
If the goal is to have as many players as possible reach gold tier or any tier for that matter, in order to make this pvp event have a high participation rate and reach its maximum level of success, the time spent/total score required should be extremely low, perhaps around the same as the last pvp event - or even lower, as that was a guild event, while this is an individual event. Otherwise the event won't be inclusive, as the majority are strictly pve, while the minority pvp or do both. Basically if this isn't done just right, most of PL won't attain even the bronze tier. If people are going to be forced to do something out of their interests or comfort zone, try to ease them in and don't require too much so that they'll be inclined to try and to attain scores that qualify for one of the three tiers. And I'm assuming that this will be a tier based event, if not, inclusiveness is out the window.
