Yes, that Ragebringer argument is silly. Good thing I didn't make that argument[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What I said was most races are human size. Changing from human size to a human sized skeleton does nothing. Big races have plenty of options to shrink themselves as well. The only time where Skeleton Illusion can play a decent role for size changing is small races (going from gnome size to human size, for example). However, the need for that situation is not very common, and many small race classes have other options to deal with this. Most zones that have this problem can be levitated in. ToV was specifically mentioned, since levitate doesn't work in there. However, Gnomes/Halflings/Dwarfs are rarely doing things in ToV that require absolute speed when going over large steps. In these cases, other raid members can help you out. If you are someone who is a dedicated raid player AND a small race, AoN may indeed be worth it for you. That doesn't change the idea that is is overhyped and overpriced for most players[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I never said this either. Of course rarity plays a role in price. That doesn't mean the item can't be considered overpriced and overhyped for what you get[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Take Rubicite Armor as an example. It isn't worth the price, and it is overhyped. That doesn't mean I am discouraging people from getting it. I think it is awesome if you have a character in full Rubicite Armor, wearing an AoN. That doesn't change those item's overall utility. The rarity is the cause for the price, not the utility.

Your arguments make no sense man, of course you don't need an AoN to play. That wasn't the implication, no item is required to play a class or character. The value of ANY item is due to rarity and usefulness. AoN exceeds in both categories in your own words. You can play butt ass naked on a Necro, but that doesn't mean a Zlandi's Heart should be cheaper because of that. Absolutely ridiculous. "This item is overpriced because I can constantly get ports for cheaper than the item that helps me bank almost anywhere"
I never made any of these arguments either. Not sure where you are getting this from. I never said you need AoN to play. I simply said the price of AoN isn't worth what you get. It is much easier to just fix your faction on most class/race combinations, instead of farming 200-300k for an item that does some faction adjustment for you. You could fix your faction on multiple characters before you reach 200-300k, unless you are very lucky on high value item drops.

It's 200k not 300k.
200k is still overpriced for what you get[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am not discouraging people from getting AoN, or any other rare item whose value is dictated more by price than utility. I am simply saying AoN really isn't that great of an item, when you look at what it gives you, and when you look at what it takes to acquire it.
