That's bull, too.  I'm not here to make the rich richer.  I want to do for myself.  I don't have lots of disposable income, I am a retired person.  Many players are underage, and have parents that will just say no.  Put them in quests, or make 'em  realm LE's and  liven up that part of the game, but PLEASE, PLEASE,  PLEASE, if we get something like this, don't put it in the caves.  

What point is there of having the caves then? You want nothing to do with them so that means that nothing should progress with them? And you can do for yourself by going and searching through the caves, yourself. I just offered the option that if you were NEVER going to do the caves, then there are alternatives of getting those items.

NOT arguing this issue any further.  You won't change my mind, I won't change yours.. We, sir, are at an impasse.  No matter.  It will probably be hundreds of levels above me anyway, so I will never need it anyway.  Have it your way (if the cows so deem it)

NO...we want it to be multiple Level.....200...500.....900...1200....etc...    something like that......   so most levels can enjoy......stats accordingly....

And it will be like epics, the only way  I will have mine is hunt it myself.  The dots I buy every month cover my regular game play, and I subsidize them with shards.  Gold, as everybody knows, I mostly steal.  If this goes to the caves, I know it will be out of my reach.  And it will be out of the reach of others.  And it's such a good idea... I can see me now, stalking a particular dev that I love so with my little bow and arrows.. can't you?

I never have luck in Caves.....uggggg

I have an idea in regards to the whole arrow/durability thing.

 

You could be able to find/obtain these bows from various quests etc. They don't need to have a 'durability' but they could require 'arrows' that you must keep in your backpack (just an idea). The arrows could be looted from certain creatures (just one or two at a time) or they could be found in chests (arrow packs of maybe 500-1000) and each time you use your bow and arrow in combat you lose one of the arrows.

 

Which leads on to a new buff idea for level 1800/2000 which could be a small chance per point to not use up an arrow when using a bow and arrow in combat.

 

Just something that could be looked at

No caves... many of us have no desire whatsoever to be wasting hard earned gold in the caves (they are possessed by demons, anyway).  I like the idea of a "global quest"  where you have to earn your set (pursuant to one's level)

Hard earned gold = hard earned new items. Or are we going to go with the easy route in this game from here on out? A challenge is what the game needs and this would be perfect for that.

 

With the greatest respect, putting items into the scavenging caves is NOT a challenge. The caves are pure pot luck with (from my experience at least) the drop rate increasing as you spend more and more gold. I.E. the first few million will get you little to nothing, the next few million a few more and the more you spend above that, the more the drops seem to appear. That COULD just be me, but, regardless, putting items is the cave is not challenging.

 

Make this item (IF it's to appear) a challenge via ..

 

1. Perhaps having to do a quest in non-guild tagged gear

or

2. Create a quest with "either/or" stages (been asked for MANY MANY TIMES where you can "steer" the outcome to a point and decide what stat distribution the resulting reward has

or

3. Make it a scalable guild quest - all active members have to do a certain task and, on completion, all participants get the reward

 

There's plenty of other options to make it a challenge - but the caves is NOT one of 'em IMO.

Quests, quests, quests.... questing is fun, challenging and rewarding.  And something EVERYBODY can participate in...
