Going to have to disagree with you. Everyone knew raids was coming and that this situation was going to arise.. so you grinded for it anyway.
NOT YELLING JUST NEEDED A WAY TO SEPERATE MY RESPONSES FROM THE QUOTED PART. OHHHH SO YOU MEAN WE SHOULD HAVE JUST STOPPED PLAYING BECAUSE WE KNEW RAIDS WERE COMING FOR HOW MANY MONTHS? SAY OH IMMA DO NOTHING AND JUST WAIT? THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO BE PUNISHED BECAUSE WE WANTED TO PLAY THE GAME? THIS MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE FOR THE HARDCORE MODE BECAUSE ITS THE NEWEST AND IT TOUTS SEPARATE ECONOMY FOR THOSE WHO DIDNT LIKE THE NORMAL MODE ONE OR ITS ECONOMY. MAYBE...... I STILL THINK IT WOULD BE UNFAIR BUT POSSIBLY THE LEAST IMPACTIVE TO THE OVERALL PLAYER BASE.
What do you do with all the items you have currently? More boss slayer? boring.
ITS VALID YOUR BELIEFS BUT JUST AS VALID ARE OTHERS BELIEFS. I LOVE BOSSING, LOVE IT IN PART BECAUSE I LIKE SEEING THOSE BIG HITS, TRYING TO FINISH FASTER FOR *GASP* MORE BOSSING. AT FIRST I HAD TO HAVE HELP BUT WITH THE EARNING OF RAID ITEMS I KNOW CHALLENGE MYSELF WITH BOSSING SOLO ALMOST ALWAYS. TRYING DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS AND STYLES. DONT LIKE BOSSING WELL LEMME TELL YA THERE IS SKILLING, AND PKING, AND REG SLAYER TO APPEASE YOU AND OTHER PVM ASPECTS AS WELL, GROWING STEADILY WITH EVERY NEW UPDATE.
Personally I'm going to do raids either way, I'd just like other people to raid with. No one's going to care about getting items that the markets already flooded with because there's been nothing to do other than boss slayer since forever.
IF THIS WERE TRUELY THE CASE, IF THEY WONT RAID BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE THE ITEMS, THEN PPL WOULDN'T BE DOING THEM NOW IN BETA OR WANTING THEM AND ASKING FOR THEM LIKE THEY HAVE FOR HOW MANY MONTHS NOW? AGAIN IF WE HAVE MORE AND MORE PPL JOIN THE FLOODED MARKET WILL BALANCE AND WE WILL KEEP THE PLAYER BASE WE HAVE NOW AND MORE WILL COME. ITS SIMPLE MATHEMATICS. I ONLY WANT RAIDS BECAUSE IT MAKES THE PLAYERS HAPPY THAT WANT RAIDS. THEY ARE NOT SOMETHING I WILL PARTICIPATE IN WILLINGLY BUT IF MY FRIENDS CAN CONVINCE ME MAYBE I WILL BUT LIKE CORP AND A FEW OTHER THINGS HERE I HATE I DO IT BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM HAPPY. I SURMISE THAT PPL WILL RAID WITH YOU AS WELL FRANK FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THEY ARE YOUR FRIENDS OR THEY THINK THEY CAN GAIN FROM THE EXPERIENCE OR BOTH
You'd be refunded boss points, by way for item exchange and OR tasks done with a suitable set of items found to replace the raid items in boss shop.
REFUND MY BOSS POINTS FOR STUFF I DONT WANT WHILE TAKING THINGS I DO AND STILL WANT TO KEEP? DOESNT SOUND FAIR OR REASONABLE. WHO DETERMINES SUITABLE? I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT RARES OR COSMETICS ITS ALL ABOUT FUNCTIONALITY TO ME. I GOT 200M MAGIC WITH MY ANCESTRAL AND KODAI. I HAVE SPENT HOURS WEARING IT. ITS IRREPLACEABLE ASK ANYONE WHO HAS OFFERED ME A SHIT TON OF MONEY FOR IT. 600M FOR MY KODAI NTY I PASSED. BOTTOM LINE THERE IS NOTHING SUITABLE, EXCEPT NOT TAKING THEM AWAY.
