Hmmm, I tried Chrome, Firefox & Edge with no success... 

1. Why do you play FS? Fun? Challenge? Other?

    Fun

2. A. When you play "your style" do you use buffs? Potions? A combo of the two?

         Combo

    B. What level buffs/potions do you use?

         Highest I can get...

3. If you use buffs or potions or a combo, why?

    Cause I can...

4. Do you use Global Chat? Why or why not?

    Rarely

5. What aspects of FS have you played?

    Most, better @ some than others...

6. Why did you choose to play these aspects of the game?

    Just to see...

7. How often do you log on to FS?

    Several times a day

8. How long have you been playing FS?

    Almost 9 years

9. Are you in a guild? (I do not need specific guild names) If so, why?

    Yeah, feels like home...

10. What level were you when you first joined a guild?

       14, I think...

Well, I've spent a significant amount of time & dots over the last 3.5 years maxing composing to have my accomplishment diminished just because a vocal few demand it "for the good of the children" "for the good of the game" to be happy about the way the discussion is going with regard to composing.

The door was opened, an inch was given, now a mile is the only acceptable solution... lol.

If the end result of this discussion is to cap or diminish stat increasing/diminishing potions, game wide, that's gonna upset alot of folks. AH merchants, scavengers, LE/Dragon hunters, PvP Ladder players, Global participants, Donators will all be affected. I don't imagine they'll be overjoyed at the prospect.

As far as a game wide poll, although you don't need "the masses" or anyone's approval to make changes to your game, you do need them, "crack addicts & junkies" included, to have one...

Wyld Titan. If you can 1 hit it without luck buffs kicking in, you are amazing.

Necrosis is a chance, "Luck" buff... 

Bingo!

 

These pots have removed any sort of challenge in the game like Pardoux said above, and this isn't about making PvP easy. In fact, these OP pots have made PvPing easier. Too easy, I'd say. In my previous post, I talked about how PvP use to be challenging. Do I have the right set-up? Do I have the right stats? You actually had to think before attacking. Today, I can chug SH 525, KE 525, and LD 500 with Distil 150, use my hunting set-up, and win every time. PvP shouldn't be that easy. 

Those are GE & Donation Pots you're referring to, not Composing. Composing pots don't come close to those levels... 

PvP use to require skill, knowledge, and effort. I'd spend literally days making new sets to have the best stats I could. The OP pots have removed the need for anything but luck. You have to have the same OP pots going to even have a small chance of winning. But even if you have all the same pots going as a target, skill still has nothing to do with who wins. It's all about who gets the lucky buffs activated. Now it is just a weird game of Press Your Luck.

Only 1 of the OP Composing Pots, (Ageless), noted in this thread are luck based. All the rest are stat based. So, not sure what you're referring to??? 

'Winning' using skill, mathematics and knowledge of the game isn't the same as blindly drinking some potions and then smashing stuff without care.

 

In this case it is NOT just the winning that counts.

Nobody is required to use potions, global, donation, composing or AH if you don't want/need to... 

Sorry but I'm totally confused. Composing pots in relation to PvP makes it to easy or to hard, which is it? Anyone reading this would have to admit there are a fair few contradicting posts in here.

 

Cheers.

Too easy for the one's using them, too hard for the ones that don't... lol.

This is purely an example, but something along the lines of this:

 

Sample Skill: +1 per point to attack up to skill level 250. After 250, +0.1 per point to attack.

 

No thank you...    

If you played all of the game you might understand the problem said buffs are causing.

Regardless of what I may or may not do in game is beside the point. I understand exactly the problems some potions (Composing, GE & Donation) may cause some players. I also understand the reasons some players want changes made.

Instead of asking the Question, "Why is it that I shouldn't be allowed to use something (Composed Potion) that I have worked for and earned. How exactly is that fair?" I probably should have just said, "Sure, whatever you guys want to do is fine with me. Take what I have worked for, earned & reshape it anyway you want. Just so long as you are happy." and been on my merry way.

As an aside, I have participated in most areas of the game at one time or another in the 7+ years I have been playing. My reasons for how, when & which parts of the game I participate in now are none of your concern & don't affect my ability to participate in a forum discussion or ask questions in a thread that effects me. 

Thank you for the surprise! 

You must have done something, as I didn't change FSH, but after your response to my ticket my this matter my Seasonal Quest Log is now working.  I would have of course if needed, but it was fixed, and I had re-checked it an hour prior and it wasn't working still at that time.  So again thank you for whatever you did Grim 

Sincerely, Kath

Yep, just checked. Working for me now too. FF w/FSH. Excellent, thanks...

I think the composing formula is fine as it is. We get a bonus for every 10 levels achieved & I think that is enough. Just my 2. Have at it... 

I would prefer to see them in the realms...
