35k seems like a good chunk of change to drop on an item that will be rendered useless by the time the next expansion hits. Who cares if it isnt dropping in the game anymore? Who cares if its red, black, blue, or gold. The only thing i look at when buying gear is the functionality, and this bp will be trash by kunark. I remember on live, when kunark had been out for a while u couldnt get rid of a rubicite bp to save your life, and if someone did manage to sell out it was for a stupid cheap price (IE iksar bp on my server was around 7k, rubi bp went for 3-5k.) I for one wouldnt drop 35k on an item that in less than a year (hopefully) will depreciate in value that much.

People can spend their plat however they want, but the safe bet is to level up, and as soon as kunark comes live go hit up old sebilis and trak's teeth. Get yourself a regen bp thats not going to be outdated ever...

Just my two cents, im not a shaman or a melee, but i have to say the economics are universal. If u have hundreds of thousands of plat to throw around then by all means by all the rubi bp's, it wont matter to you. otherwise id say save that cash for a real investment.
Thats like saying FBSS will be obsolete when Kunark comes out because of hangmans noose and sash of the dragon born so im not gonna pay 12-14k for it now!

Where does your arguement end with any item currently available? Rubi BP doesnt drop anymore making it a sought after item by many, the only regen item in game currentl, only red BP currently, and a great twink and shaman BP. You sir are a moron.

No one know when Kunark will be released, hell it could be another year from now for all we know.
