[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 5048317, member: 63962"] Oh, there is an legendary axe ingame now that requires you to get 25 of x which makes 1 y. You need 23 y to make the axe, and you can get max 2 x per day. Shouldn't take more than 287 days of griding, or 40 days if you do it on 7 characters every single day. :p Balancing MMO's to be interesting over time is really hard. Age of Conan had a good idea with Battlekeeps. Your guild had to get a certain amount of PvP points to challenge another guilds battlekeep. If another guild wanted to attack it instead, they had to have more PvP points. The problem is that the battlekeep fights keep crashing. Might get fixed some day... :p Personally I only find hard raids interesting where you are searching for a viable strategy. When you have a success rate of 75%+ it gets really boring. PvP, guild PvP, etc is interesting because you can't use the same tactic the whole time. Raiding is a bit like playing with a DM that won't let you do something because it doesn't say so explicitly in the book. [/QUOTE]
