Both costs around 150k gold to get.
Yet 5x3 gives a bigger power boost than Legendary Skins.
The ability stones required to get 5x3 is also gambling RNG-based and have real-life costs assosciated with them in the form of Pheons, which costs blue crystals.
And yet, for Legendary Skins, which are also attainable with gold and blue crystals, this is too much?
One is gambling and you very well can end up with literally nothing. One is farming which is inherent to virtually any MMORPG and will net you results at a consistent pace even if you’re unlucky.
They are two entirely different things and therefore the comparison is a waste of time and I certainly do hope that this is just some low key attempt at whining/trolling and not the best you can actually come up with after raking your brain.
Legendary skins weren’t removed for being p2w they were removed because Yoz’s jar is a shit lootbox, Idk where people get the idea that skins are p2w from the skins you already have already give you stats.
So what leg avatars give you 1% more str than epic ones, conveniently enough you can craft leg avatars f2p in KR from an npc making even the less than 1% dmg increase you get from having them even irrelevant than it already was anyway. So much for p2w.
One of the most informed and intelligent people to contribute in the community.
You can look at the replies here and see how misinformed and clueless people are.
Take a look at the comments in my article Hell Kuku cleared with 2x3 engravings and you will see the knowledge and skill many of the posters have.
You are ahead of your time. These players started complaining now that they reached the higher levels and noticed the problem with costs to get further power (5x3, quality polish, stones, 1475+) and to their amazement, legendary skins is the most cost efficient when it comes to these buffs.
Yet, we have you who told us months in advance about this, and players here and on other platforms came to discredit it with misinformation, and are now the ones calling for changes (removal or pheons for example), it just took them 7 months to realize what you realized in few.
I went back to see that misleading Reddit thread that caused the removal of the skins.
Seems like the author realised he was wrong and changed his tune, too. And also put the blame on these exact people(AGS included) who believed the $800 for a set lie.
U must be awfully unlucky to pay that much for leggy skin. When legendary skins came out on Ru, I made full set for my scrapper day one, cost me 50eu and couple sets of my old skins that I dismantled. After few days made another set to sell again around 80-90eu. And after was just crafting wepaons for sale, but it wasnt much more profitable than just selling ur rc for gold, unless u hit it <5 tries
