How the hell is this affecting you? You are not putting yourself into other's shoes just because you have not had the problem before.

Assumptions, assumptions and assumptions.

Clearly you know me so well to know how I play.

i am not complaining that OTM gave us great Garanak sets. In fact, the garanak sets are the best things that otm has ever given us and I can say they are even better than necro or mordy items as the void items never dropped or are so rare unlike garanak sets which every clan member in my clan now have a set of their choice. What I am lamenting is the fact that the lux shop does not now serve the high levels with garanak sets. We like many other CH players like to spend gold and get excited when we see items in lux shop that we desire. But now we can no longer spend gold in lux shops as nothing there excites us anymore. Unless OTM addresses this in future update or events, many players may lose interest in the game. When many of us were low levels, I remembered how excited we were browsing the lux shop items and craving for them but did not have the gold to buy or the level to wear them. OTM needs to give us back that excitement which made this game great. now not even killing mordy or necro or hrungnir excites me anymore because most of the drops are banked and not useful.

To get the best gear, u need to kill raid bosses, this is a fact of all mmos, if u could just buy as good gear from the shop, what would be the point?

Because the best gear is dropping from an event boss which is totally unfair for:

1. The partially inactive players.
2. The "not-in-top-clan" players.

If it were dropping from a permanent boss, then I'd set my hopes up that one day, i could get the chance to kill him. However, i can't do the same with a transient event boss. So no, not sitting back here while others hoard it.

If you are inactive you are undeserving of the drops. If you are not in top clan, I can only feel sorry for you. But this topic is not about those issues. I do see the argument that the best drops should come from end game bosses. Garanak is an exception though.

I disagree. Being inactive doesn't mean that when i come back, there should be a huge gap between me and the active players. Hence, make some equally strong luxury items.

I agree there should be equally strong lux items for those who cant get strong items from endgame boss drops. But the biggest risk is this may render the endgame bosses not worth the time and effort and resources to kill. so there is a need to balance both.

Actually game designers will make great acrobats because designing a game is all about balancing everything.

The best gear should be earn't, in my opinion. Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG's) are social games. In order to succeed you need to co-operate and join an affective clan to get the best loot available. Some of the best MMORPG's and even the worst MMORPG's even have this system in place. I think this game should be no different.

What's stopping you, as a player from joining another clan upon a clan collapse, or unable to join the top tier clan. You can just as easily make a clan, strive at, or join an up and coming clan. MMORPG's are all about teamwork and co-operation to reach success. But it seems in this game, especially regarding lux it has made the some of the quest gear obsolete. Quest gear or drops, should far surpass buying gear from luxury shops. Where is the teamwork in that, it doesn't traditionally fit in the ideology of an MMO.

I have to say -1 to smelly, however your ideas have good intentions - luxury shops shouldn't make event gear or any quest obtained gear obsolete. I think quest gear, event gear and loot should have the most desirable stats like resistances, maybe even some Regen, armour boosts, skill boosts. And luxury should have its own set of stats, such as armour, physical resistances, heavy regen, stat boosts and exclusive skills . This may suit the needs if such a diverse group of players, and won't render any gear obsolete, because each type of gear wether it be earn't or brought is powerful in its own unique way.

+1 Very sensible arguments.
