I’m 1385 on my sorc and 1340 on my gs.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I have 100+ pheons left cause the game throws pheons at you and the only things I buy from shop with royal crystals are skins if I like them.
Also you don’t spend real money for pheons that’s stupid, you buy pheons with gold if you need extra.
Btw, I didnt get any free pheons. Only 10 per week from the exchange shop. I’ve only been playing for 3 weeks.
The items i want to buy are like 50 gold - 150 gold max, Why would i spend 400g on crystals to buy a 50-150 gold item that makes no sense.
It also makes me giggle hard that you wrote an essay almost without even reading which makes everything you said irrelevant to my statement
Does your Grand Prix exchange vendor not have pheons? And they regularly give it in log in too, so it’s not a ‘back then’ thing. Also, I didn’t find any need to buy anything until 1370. At that point I have way too much pheons saved up that I don’t know what to do with them. Maybe when I start getting other alts to that point, and rich enough to gear them up. But if I was that rich, pheon probably isn’t an issue anyways.
Thats just people making up for themselves being bad at the game.
We run it with guild mates; however, it can be run with crap gear.
Buy the pheons, theyre not going anywhere anytime soon. If your complaining abput the solution and dont do it then youre not only gonna be mad, you’re not gonna get into groups either. so any hinderence after this point is your own.
I think its a dumb system personally, and nobody absolutely loves the system but its not as pay to win as you think it is since you can buy them with in game currency. Also to point out i also had to do it before we were given pheons in the march update.
No offense to the OP,
As a F2P player, I havent spent any of my pheons to upgrade my gear across my main or alts. Also this post are like multiple problems wrapped under one topic which is highly misleading.
It is a unfair statement to say that after T3, it is pure p2w territory. There are players who manage to get there with sufficient time, its of course harder for us F2Pers but it is doable. While the time spent in the deadzone is an issue it is by no means that you have to pay, its an option if you want to shorten the gap, however as I said its a choice.
I myself is currently sitting at 1362 on my main, this week after the event, I got 7 ilvls, thank god. And next week i should be 1370 or close to it, if RNGeesus permits me.
Pheons are not required to fix gear, you can find it in due time, at 1370 its the same thing. Its all about resource management until you get to 1370 for new gear and 1385 to get the next honing research upgrade. You shouldn’t be spending your gold on buying gear or fixing gear when its such a limited resource for F2Pers.
I don’t know what its like in EUW realm but on NAE where I’m at working with only 2x2 engravings at 1362, I have no trouble getting into groups with accessories that don’t even have class engravings on them.
My blade is 1376, 1 t3 alt at 1307 which really isnt helping at all besides silver somewhat. But im free to play, used matchmaking to get 4 hard mode oreha pieces. Barley spend money on anything. Only spent for some skins and the omen pack.
Its totally doable.
Sure it is. I’m Tier 3 and playing it just fine without spending any money.
But u can convert gold to blue crystals and purchase peons
just because x item is 100g and the peon cost 500g doesn’t suddenly make it not available to F2p players that’s on you picking to buy trash accessories that be replaced within a week
Im sitting on multiple T3 Alts and i have yet once needed to buy accessories at that low of a ilvl
u only need to really start dealing with accessories and buying off AH when u start fixing your gear for 333/3331 with legendary
Look at it this way just add 500g to every item u see then that’s the real price
I don’t know how it is on EUW but on EUC it’s simply, I get alt to T3, I buy class engraving purple for bout 900 gold because I am to lazy to get them for free. I do chaos get my gear and take the spec accessory if my class requires spec and trash the rest and then sign up for a nacrasena and get into the party and do it.
Oh I also ofc look out for a decent stone that drops if not I just keep the good T2 stone I already have, it just requires me to be good at the game which I am.
Mhmmmm, weird I didn’t spend any peons yet… can you explain to me which of the things make you spend peons?
