I think this ruins the purpose of a legendary event. When I started the lvl35 dragon set was very hard to get and to gain enough levels took ages... did I quit because of that? NO. A panther set was hard to get (NO mercs, FI potions, etc to get an easy droi) and I don't even mention the darklore rune...

I've read here only high lvl players hunt legendary and make a profit from it... curious that some of the ppl that say this have hundreds of free FSPs offers, many of them make false accounts to get even more free fsps and even with that continue to be rubish players (and then buy shitty items for 100's of FSPs from their real character using a lvl1 player with no item on)...

Instead of a legendary item why not make a special auction for the position of a legendary creature? like a scroll with realm and position... don't say the type of legendary creature and make the drop rate equal or lower than an SE creature... that might be a better alternative than this

I voted no. This would deflate the prices of Legendary sets, those of us that have hunted these sets don't deserve for our sets to become worthless or near worthless because some people don't want to have to work has hard as we did. Making the game better for new players is great but just handing them everything is a slap in the face to most long time players in my opinion.

it might be alright i suppose, it will be just like everything else really, the rich get richer the poor get poorer unless they have another rich person banking them. nothing new.

I'd say yes, but only to the ones that are way overpriced, like the decay rune.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

so no real lottery system. I can live with that despite the fact that the rare lottery is an awesome gold sink. But seriously. I mean basically everyone looks forward to a new LE and now we'll be just like oh a new LE oh well i'll just buy the items with the gold i have lying around at the AH special section. Very bad idea. by the way was there some kind of poll that i missed for the lottery? Cause I kinda liked how it was a day ago.

Nice idea, but the effect would be appalling. Only really useful if it was the plague helm so people could finish off the quest. Also maybe for ther crystaline items, but please not for the "legendary" items. They are common enough on their event days - its like whack-a-mole on their spawn realms.

the problem with the legendary sets, is those that go through the trouble of getting them sell them for a extreme amount of fsp, and lets face it there arn't going to be many ppl around to have that much to just throw away when the sets are only good for a certain lvl and then get useless and out dated. and the fallensword team doesn't make it easy to get fsp unless you give money, because over half of those surveys don't pay out anything worth while or at all, unless your paying another company money and even then probably isn't a guarantee of anything either.

and yet they keep adding new survey's that are just as pointless as the ones before :? why not make the old ones better before you keep cluttering up the system with new worthless stuff, i've filled out almost every survey that is available to me and all i really have to show for it is a junk mail box that is over loaded with spam..fsp is too hard to come by to let all the high ranking people control the monopoly on them and make it impossible for a player who really needs the items to get them at a fair price

No. Only the rich would benefit from it. It's that way with the "special potions" now. The only difference is that there are also alot of less deisrable potions within reach of the lower levels. Also, right now you can't turn around and sell your potions for a huge mark up because they are non-tradable.

No you wouldn't as there wouldn't be that many items listed in AH.
Plus, if the items were disposable/crystalline type it would have little impact upon the AH price, but would help some players get items otherwise unavailable to them.

I don't know where the notion of these items being bound came from, I didn't read THAT in the orginal post by Hoof, but if somehow that were an option it would be a terrible one unless the items were bound to the buyers guild, atleast then they'd have more then one usage. But all in all the idea of bound items is terrible. It would be nice to add the possibility of cheaper LE items but I do feel that an iflux of said items would detract from the excitement of legendary events. The AH is currently rife with LE items of all sorts in my opinion, I personally don't feel a need to bring more in until another event.

Ok cool - we'll keep this idea on hold until we've decided regarding the pvp tournaments and hell forge - lets get them sorted first :)

Note the two threads for them are in the General forum now :)

Cheers,
hoof
