It will happen here, too. I will tell you why. The casual players -- the ones more casual than the ones already 60 -- will eventually be playing. They will be kicked from groups, told their gear isn't good enough. Since they do not play more than a few hours a day, if that (maybe 5-10 a week) they are going to be extremely disgruntled. They'll never have the gold to upgrade their gear, if they can even get it.

But don't worry. It's fun, right?


This.


I cannot see this happening. You are too negative, this could happen but I see it more likely that all of the 60s that play more will be selling the gear for gold that these players need.

The simple solution to this is to increase the chance of success after every failed attempt on a given item.

I find it HEE-LARIOUS people are whining that this enchant system is broken when not even a month ago people were whining that the old system was stupid. Lots of people cried and Enmasse eventually answered by changing the old risk/reward downgrade enchant system to what it is now and people couldn't be any more happier.

Just goes to show you that if you give people a voice, they will whine about pretty much ANYTHING.

Casual players are the ones who will show up in a mismatched set of +2's with a single +6 that is their pride and joy. They won't quit because they can't get +12. Played plenty of games where not only is perfect gear not required, it is not desired by a large number of people because they know they are too casual to achieve it. They settle for what they can get, and they try their best. They have fun.

Gonna have to agree with this. Here's how my days go: I wake up, do my dailies and run instances for a couple of hours. I then proceed to farm sloths for another couple of hours. At this point I'm a little bored so I take a break. After my break I proceed to do the exact same thing over again. Now assuming I make it to the end of the day without falling asleep in my chair, I figure I'd use the money I've farmed all day enchanting. Now bare in mind I've been farming for roughly 8 hours by now and have probably accumulated about 4- 6k gold. After failing every single one of my enchants and having about 15g left to my name I think to myself what have I accomplished today .. I have no money, My gear is the same and my eyes hurt from staring at the screen for so long.

tl;dr: I need to go outside more.

I'm really getting tired of this. Enchanting is a part of progress. It's not meant to be easy or simple. Pathetic.


Easy, simple, hard, skill based, etc, etc.

Enchanting is none of those.

Don't know how people like you can find placing a few items into a window and hitting a button anywhere near challenging. You would have to be mentally challenged to find it challenging.

I like how everyone automatically assumes the word 'easy' or 'hard' has anything to do with something requiring skill or something challenging.

Because it does. The act of enchanting is easy, there is nothing hard about clicking 3 items and hittin a button. One should never confuse RNG with difficulty, because there is no relation, just assumption that it is hard, when in fact it isn't.

There is no diificulty associated with 'luck'.

There is nothing hard about running dungeons for fodder instead of buying stuff of broker to make yourself broker (harhar engrish joke), and enchanting. though, I guess it could be if you don't have friends/guild though (but then again why are you playing a MMO. . .)

I think you guys just need to stop with the "I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW". As soon as you put in guarantees it turns into a game you just blast through.

If you really want to complain about anything, blame EME for making enchanting more expensive and tedious than KR. No powders to reduce fail chance? Check. No (higher grade) powder drop from dungeons? Check. No powder from eggs? Check. Full steam ahead~
