I personally don't think it's such a bad thing that an uber high powered high level set takes a lot of components. Remember when the Brices and ormar's sets first came out? They both took a ton of arena items, and they were only 2 and 3 piece sets, these are 4 piece sets. You ought to have to work for them. It is going to take a few months for them to be "affordable" for the masses, but in the meantime, those who want to can make a few arena champs rich along the way. lol.
I actually don't mind the 4 piece sets, but grave is right, it does diminish the hell forging aspect of it. I still think that in these cases the fact that the items have 4 stats will not keep people from hell forging them just because of the extra stat, so it won't matter as much in these items. But in general, there shouldn't be a lot of 4 stat items. I like that 4th HP stat because after crafting and forging it's just enough to last 60 full rounds if you're just using one item out of the set. Makes you get more creative when deciding how many HP you need for a particular arena if you want to just use part of a set.
BG, I think it's exciting to play in the arena again. I still wish that there was something we could do even to have the gold arenas speed up more, but I'm not sure how that would work. And regarding all the various mechanics and tweaking certain moves, I'll leave that to more capable, technical minds than mine. I think that this has somewhat reinvigorated the arena and once items begin flowing and people begin inventing, the SE market will also see some life as well. One can only hope. Thanks for giving us some attention.
I actually think it's a great fix (not a patch like others have said) for keeping the arena items from losing value and bringing back value to SE hunting. 2 birds in one...
With the success rate being below average - i think the value of all these items will remain high.... in the same way Bothild stones have...
I think gold arena's should be 4-8 man tournaments.... With high entrance fee's or lower payouts...
