ITs obvious every single response so far has been a nihilum that has poopsocked uncontested for the last 9months and this in no way helps their cause for the back to 30pop server they so desire.


Plain and simple there are some items that shouldnt be left in on a pvp server. We stressed for months before launch how bad recharging would have an effect on the server and it wasnt until a month or 2 afterwords did it get addressed.
Trak Tooth is detrimental to pvp and with the amount that drops per week, we will say 7 to be on the safe side. thats 7 casters that can about be insta-gibbed.

Golem wands are available to everyone and anyone on the server. (Removes 1700hp? yes if you are raid buffed and or two-boxing) I'll take my chances there on something everyone can farm equally as opposed to a 25man raid geared toon that provides 1 shot abilities with little to no skill.

get 25man and kill the dragon.

Talking about instant-gib? how about a wanded caster?

What about conflag wands that does more damage than the trak tooth? Wand of swords? get 6 man, farm the hell out of them in hate and insta-gib nihilum up, no one cares.

So please, if you want to whine about one of these things, whine about all of them.

Kind of agree with troriste. At least there's some parity with the trak teeth in that every class can use them (I think?). Maybe conflag wands should go too, but then where do you draw the line?

So should t-staff be the next to go as well? Skean?

So should egg shaped and item recharging be back in?

[Elderan]

When they remove all instant click items listed above, need to fix druids as well. Druid nukes never stuck on live. Basically were doters and healers in pvp and thats it.

Item recharging was taken out to keep most of the aforementioned items in check. It also compounded many of the problems on this server, like root sticking too easily - when root nets were rechargeable, any idiot could just farm 8 root nets and spam them with no downside. Conflag wands would be stupid too if they were rechargeable since it would take all the effort out of farming them. And let's not forget that everyone would have a recharged WC cap before every encounter since it costs almost nothing to recharge those. Your problem is that you have no coherent standard for what makes an item so overpowered that it should have an effect removed from it - that's never happened before on this server (except arguably with pumices, but I don't think pumices should have been removed if item recharging wasn't allowed). At least I can say that recharging should be out of the game because it makes the power level of several items outrageous, and it was proven to have an unhealthy effect on the server.

we saw clearly what happens when we fight on even numbers

half our force gets trak toothed within the first minute, and then the fight is over
