I cannot believe Enmasse is making this game easier and easier. I'm one of the casual players who only plays 1-2 hours a night and on weekends. This game is already easy enough and the original system for enchanting made the game last longer. I hope Enmasse realizes that they just signed themselves to a lot of complaints. No, people won't complain about making enchanting easier, because most people are lazy. However, the people who were complaining about the enchant system, are the people who likes to be handed everything and speed through the game. Enmasse is going to have to be able to pump out content like Blizzard and the content will most likely be half-assed just like in World of Warcraft.

This is extremely disappointing. The challenge of getting your weapon and armors to +12 was what made doing instances and farming BAMs worth it. Now, the RMTs will truly rule. There's no point in using green or blue items as the catalyst for your enchant now. You just have to buy cheap white weapons/armors and keep doing it since there's no penalty.

Someone said the exact same thing to me last night about just using white to + your weapon. EME said they would be implemented new dusts though, so I'm not sure if using whites for +ing at higher levels would be worth the amount of money the dusts cost. Until we know how much money these new dusts cost a lot of things are open to speculation. Hopefully Knoxxers post is right about the amount of money needed to enchant to high levels still costing a lot.

The super casuals happy about this new system are probably the same ones that are going to QQ at launch about getting ganked and other pvp related mechanics and EME will probably cave under the weight of there tears.


Do you know why the hardcore player base likes P2P games and not F2P/cash shop? There is a less of an advantage in pure p2p no cash shop influence. This might not make sense to earlier posts about the upgrade system and how its "fairer" now but that's not true. Being able to out perform in pvp pve and out luck some one in enchanting is all part of the fun. Sure you might rage failing to upgrade but when you FINALLY get it. Its amazing. I really hope EME listens to the rest of the player base and not just the casual babies that want to be spoon feed everything.





Have enchanting dust drop from dungeons/raids have it scale based on difficulty

Have a chance to drop dust from world pvp.


Some of us WANT +10/11/12 to be rare.



The game is in beta everything is subject to change. But just letting EME know that as a player right now you are making me think this game is going to go from Casual water downed wowification -> F2P Cash shop Then shortly after Pay 2 win. Trying to give you an idea of how many players feel.

I was advertised a hardcore MMO for pvpers. I dont like cookie cutter builds and weapons. I dont like no penalty from dying in pvp. A lot of us are expecting a hardcore game with many risks involved from pvp, enchanting, raids. I dont want to be spoon fed. I dont want raid over and over for that rare item just to see some one RMT one for $15 scroll..

Look at all the MMOs that launched in the past few years that caved to this new generation of MMO players. They all expect to be spoon fed because of the precedent WoW has established. How many of them have failed and are now F2P. Think about that.


Hardcore gamers will keep a game like Tera alive. Not Casuals who will jump ship once the new flavor of the month MMO comes out. (GW2 any one?)
