    I have well over 10 billion, mostly from AFK marketeering.

Easy, if weaker, drops would seem to be a better way to entice more players than the current ones and would hopefully be more plentiful on the market.
    This is a good idea as long as the lower sets are still worth getting. Nicely said.

    And here's hoping you never ever do. In a game that caters so heavily to alts that would be such a bad idea.
    /signed and I hope that by saying "currently" Castle is not implying that BoP is part of "Endgame"

    PvP merits is a good idea if done right.

    Rep system needs to go - I think the suggestion of the sirens bounty system would work very well to award PvP IOs.

    I always thought Purples were supposed to be the uber rare end game IOs. PvP IOs were supposed to be normal IOs outside of PvE. The supply of Normal IOs is high because they are easier to get in PvE. Therefore PvP Ios should be easier to get in PvP
    This is a cogent and well thought out argument. GTFO.

    Hibernate wins on all counts at the moment

    As I have a Gold Medal(TM) in threadstacking, dUmb votes no.

    hell no.
    Not my point.

    Yes I agree that the drop rate should be increased as these wouldn't really impact PvE much at all if they fell from the sky like rain. Not that I'd care if it did.

    One day Barrier's heart will grow 3 sizes, and he still won't return the toys to Whoville.
  15. 1. Slax -captain (and coke) -@Slax, @Slax2
    2. Mac- captain- @macskull, @notmac
    3. Psoma- captain @Psoma
    4. Lib- co-captain @Mr. Liberty
    5. Neuronia- @Neuronia, @Neuronium
    6. Heroes- @Heroesdemise, @Heroesgreed
    7. Panthro- @Panthro

    10. Sir- @s i r, @s l r

    Yes this is 5 captains, but we are a dUmbocracy (whatever that means).
  16. I think we saw that skill (at least spiking skill) still matters, but yes I agree that the fraction differences are silly to pay the absurd sums for.

Part of the reason PvP IOs are so expensive is because of how they're dropped, but another part is that they are in high demand (probably not as much as purples but definitely more than some rare IO sets). For example, it's not the PvPers that are paying 3-4 billion off-market for the +3% def IO.
    Some moron carebears would still demand them I'm sure.

    That and lolz paying 4 billion for 3% def.

  19. Thanks to al those who showed, I hope everyone had fun. Obviously we need to play more to get better, especially a certain stalker >.>

    Next Practice Thursday at 9 PM EST. Psoma will run it since I won't be online Thursday.
  20. Tuesday.

    The day ends when I go to bed.

    I think Arcanaville is the only one who does, which is perfect since she's a leading member of the PvP community.

    O wait.
  22. Practice Tomorrow, meet in Freedom Pocket D 8:30 EST.
  23. League rules need to be changed to add a 3rd category of points for drama.
