Does anyone else maybe like the idea of being able to use composed pots on guildies maybe make it a preference thing might work kinda like buffing I see a lot of complaints about attacks on gvg using them well now a guildies could help a ladder buddy or buddies getting hit on gvg any ideas?
I get where you are coming from but I think potions should only be able to be used by the player himself !!!
IMO composing has gotten "out of hand" / too powerful regarding PvP !!!
when players are under attack by players who use high lvl composing pots on the PvP Ladder, GvG or BB it "hardly" matters if they get buffed since composing "cuts" through buffs like "a knife through butter", their best chance is for some lucky buffs to activate .....
I used to successfully defend many PvP Ladder, GvG & BB attacks BEFORE composing was introduced while I was online / offline in a PvP setup getting buffed by friends !!!
in the last 8 months ALL GvG attacks on me were by players using high composing potions !!!
those who know me know how much I ♥ PvP and after NEW PvP Ladder rewards were added I was overjoyed & immediately joined, it went well for 2 resets UNTIL a player started using composing potions NON STOP !!!
he was only using 1 single setup BUT the high composing potions made him almost "untouchable", he was smashing everyone & those who tried to fight him with only buffs stood no chance including me, only after I started using composing potions (ordering several different composing potions over time can quickly get very expensive) I started beating him and after 1 reset where I placed 1st I had spent over 100 FSPs on composing potions alone for a reward of 5 PvP Ladder tokens !!!
did not feel like a "win" for me
after that I tried the PvP Ladder chests since they had a long duration BUT unfortunately their skill level was inferior to the composing potions
stayed for 5 resets & luckily managed to place 1st every time the PvP Ladder reset, cost me over 300 FSPs (NOT including the many tokens I used for the PvP Ladder chests) to get enough tokens to invent 1 PvP Ladder item (NOT a complete set) + 1 x Greater Cloak potion
after that I retired from the PvP I used to ♥ just because of one aspect (composing) that upset the "balance" where we used to fight on an "even" playing field regarding skill levels
a friend (who is a lvl 60 composer) joined later after I left & to show that composing is too powerful he stayed there for about a month taking the 1st place, after that he hit everyone and managed to let 32 bounties expire in less than 6 days, during this time he deleveled some players by successfully defending on the BB, he took 7 levels from them while he did not lose a single XP
what I am trying to say is the same I said many months ago, that composing (1 single aspect) greatly influences many aspects of the game, be it PvP Ladder, BB, GvG, SE, hunting, farming, ....... which IMO should not be
I totally understand that composing is a HUGE gold sink but IMO regarding PvP & GvG it is doing more "harm" than "good" (those who have / use & those who do not) !!!
increasing the PvP Ladder chests level to be superior than composing would IMO not be a good solution
I would like to see these 2 suggestions & I think they will greatly help "improve" FS:
- composing should only be working on PvE !!! NOT in PvP !!! for non PvPers it will hardly change anything since they will be able to use composing potions for leveling, SE hunting, farming, ..... mostly PvPers will be affected by this change
- composing should be able to be sold in AH, I clearly remember that HCS said that composing should be GUILD tagged & after they were aware of the "loophole" traveling composers used HCS did NOT implement the "7 day guild rule" as they did with titans !!! that means they wanted other players who do not compose to have access to them, I find it good but why not making it "official" and let composing potions be sold in AH for everyone to have access to them "whenever" they need / want them + the more suppliers there are the cheaper / affordable they become

a "force" (composing) can only be stopped by an equally strong "force" (composing) or by a greater "force" (global chests, donation chests..) (or just rely on lucky skill combination to activate
)
ps: I am still leveling up my composing & will continue to do so regardless if composing gets changed to only work in PvE or not (I will be then using it for SE, titan hunting, farming, hunting, ...) areas where it is NOT Player VS Player !!!
