Let me guess you maxed your level very quickly and early.
Wound up on top of the pyramid scheme and now pretty much rely on it ...

If you are referring to my post then no... I'm going by what was said about enchanting from the developer Q&A... Enchanting being a big part of the economy, or that you have to farm gold to get ahead.. which also ties into the cronoscroll aspect. If the economy stays scarce and prices stay high then people will be more willing to by scrolls to advance their toons. In essence it becomes a very slippery slope.

My toon has a full set of gear at +6 but for our little guild to get all our gear we lost 4 players to burnout. It's tough to see good players walk away to something as simple as RNG.

Again, not asking for a handout, what I'm asking for is my time spent to be worthwhile. Spending 1hr+ in que to run a 45min dungeon, to only "maybe" get some crappy BoP gold item.. is crap. There is too much "random" in this equation.

In first place they should add top T13 to drop list for BAM-s and bosses in open world. You can get your better drop rate in instances, but does not fix issue empty open world and fact many players do not like farm instances.

Well, lack of sufficient open world content is another issue entirely. I do agree that open world bossess need to drop "Something" ....

There is also the problem that certain classes would still be at a disadvantage as some classes have a much more difficult time and are arguably incapable of solo'ing many bams.

I can solo bams all day long on my warrior, pretty much anything that doesn't spawn adds I can solo. I would never dare try it with my mystic though.
Sure I've killed a couple of bams with the mystic out of need, but it's not something I could myself farming with.

RAIDS would drastically help too as it would allow undergeared players more of a chance to party up with well geared players and try to get that gear in the first place.

All you guys are on about selling stuff and using your enchanting.
I'm just trying to get the stuff in the first place...

My level 60 is currently poorer than my level 50 lancer trying to play this stupid game.
I've stopped suggesting this game to my friends based not on a problem with gameplay or the world or 'endgame' but because the economy is becoming ridiculously top heavy ridiculously early on. A t12 enigmatic at this rate will be selling for nearly 100k 6 months.
No new player can be expected to raise that and eventually the inflation will likely be beyond the scope of them ever hoping too.

The real problem is nothing but a GS of 146 or better will get you invited to run most the endgame content even in normal mode. However, it's pretty much impossible to reach that gear level without running said content, yet no one seems to get that disconnect.

This is not because the game said it must be so but because the players have instituted these policies themselves.

You lock out endgame content and endgame gear to leveling players and then tell them to shut up when they complain.

EME didn't break the game, you did.

Increase SOMETHING from these dungeons. As is they don't make each run worth running. On average is just a bit of gold depending on how much you kill and at worst you lose your good crystals. Make it so I want to run it again, even if I already got my weapon.

Yeah I have to agree here. My static group has been doing FoK (HM) for a little while now, and it just amazes me when I see what has been dropping for a HM instance. It's quite pathetic...

Now, It'd be really nice if we did see a gold enigmatic piece drop off Kaprima, sadly we have seen 2 pieces out of over 15 runs. Now I know for certain some of you will call me out on the amount of runs we have done, but again this is a HM instance...we figured out the mechanics of the fights, putting in the time and effort ...and the game rewards my group with level 58 blue necklaces? Again hard mode FoK? Really?

That's not rewarding....that's insulting. I wouldn't even care so much of the enigmatic armor dropping if at the very least the material 'Fanesteel' was dropping...sadly it appears you get between 1-5 fanesteel per run. Sorry but this needs to change.

Oh and I see no difference in loot with doing the 10 minute totem timer or not. I have to believe its all BS...

You don't *need* your Slumber Gear, you know. -_-

@The Above poster, if you are doing Hard Modes you will at least be getting Fanesteel, which you need for your T13 weapon, so at least you aren't wasting time with whatever else drops.

How do you he is even getting a sufficient amount of fanesteel per run? They dont drop often enough for what we are putting up with, and dreambindings drop even less often than that. Being lucky to get more than 2 fanesteel per run, and being lucky to come out with even 1 dreambinding, is not good enough. And if you dont think you need the slumber gear, dont try to queue for HM >.>

This week we may see some changes tho, as knoxxer said drop rates would be increased. On what is unknown.
