Hate this idea. I do not want to be forced to level up a prof to make my own helms for the sets.
I also do not want to have to pay en extortionate amount for one
Helms are not needed to complete dungeons, helms are not needed for grinding.
Helms are for getting the best possible stats out of your gear for min/maxing dps for efficiency or pvp (stats wise).
The two things you've posted here suggest you want everything "free and easy".
Making remnants bop certainly doesn't force you to level up your professions and the prices players will charge will be a fair price and give professions, instances and gear more value when getting it.
Even using their relics to buy rems, that is 80 runs per helm alone.
This would profit the players who are online loads and harm the enjoyment of casual players. Who may never be able to afford a helm. At least now, they can get their helms, even if they play casually and do a few runs each time they are free.
I actually forgot that you can buy remnants with relics, this makes this suggestion even more valid.
Of course players who spend their time online will profit over casuals, that's how any game works.
It doesn't cost/take long to farm remnants for the level 10-25 helms, so they could easily get those cheap. As for TR and To3 helms it will just take them longer.
In the long term remnants are going to pile up and they will end up just getting destroyed due to their limited use, I don't want to see instances dead due to no reason to farm them. I'd love to have a reason to go back and farm boondocks, vault, ohdar, valley etc... and I'm sure many others would in time.
Completing a set especially a TR set should not take 1 day of farming, if I knew the community would agree with me I'd suggest a new system that may take up to a week of straight farming to complete a set, but I know too many people would complain and that would have no chance.
