Hello.
Not sure if the title is proper, or if this should be posted in the pvp or customer service forums, so ill get started.
1. +41 expertise crystals. It is my understanding this will not be changed with the upcoming patch and therefore useless in pve, wz's and open world pvp. Would it be ok the players that spent either real money, credits from the gtn, or time and credits via the pvp vendor to receive a refund or possible exchange for same color +41(any stat) crystals? I ask because these will no longer give any useful stats and expertise is described as a pvp stat in game. (Basically you would be better using a +1 endurance than a +41 expertise)
We could go on further explaining why this is a raw deal if nothing is done about said crystals, but well move on.
2. War hero and Elite war hero gear, again someone correct me if im wrong, this gear will be stripped of all expertise rendering it not only equal to or less than pve gear in pvp but also useless in open world pvp.
- WZ's : said gear should be as stated previously slightly better than pve gear in wz's. Slightly better or equal to , either way is fine. If it is less than pve gear will be a serious problem.
Some will say "how many people care about 'lowbie pvp' " answer is, alot. the 1-50 or 1-55 leveling experience is a big part of this game and endless enjoyment for alot of players.
- Open world pvp : Be it rare as it is, it is still important. If pvp gear is stripped of all expertise, than no longer will somone have an advantage over the opposing faction players when happened upon in the open world. I know what some are thinking - BUT- if somone is on a pvp server , in a contested zone, and not wearing pvp gear, do they not deserve to be at a disadvantage for not being prepared?
So in regards to the above 2 situations would it be possible to receive a refund or exchange for the now expertise less gear we purchased , since it was advertised as having the pvp stat "expertise" on it?
I have noticed others on these forums making statements along the lines of " WH and EWH are not supposed to be in the game" " The gear was removed from the game" . Well the gear was NOT removed from he game, I still have all the items in my possession, do you? Only the vendors were removed. Same goes for tionese gear, I still have mine, its in the game currently being used by players.
Stuff....
Thanks
