Those are rare drops... Stuff like that.
I would never call VB's rare drops as they drop quite quite regularly from AI raids as well as from S10 bosses.
Honestly I don't have much luck at all with VBs, and many others would say the same. They're rare, just not the rarest.
What's important I guess then it what does Means and Co consider rare, which is something we don't know. Which brings me back to making assumptions based upon non-existent information and then getting up in arms about the conclusion of your baseless assumptions.

Means, is that you?
Oh wait sorry, just another troll.
Please, define for us all what you think rare is since you seem to have such a definitive stance.
That is pretty much my question to Means/FC....Quote:

Hence why I'm wondering why you and Alternity seem to think something isn't rare just because it's more common then other things. VBs can still be rare even if they're more common then Shroud or SoTI etc.

If it was good enough to play then, it's good enough to play now. If people find cause to leave because of something NOT implemented in the game, that's rather stupid and impatient.Quote:

It's one of the reasons I'm taking a break. I was tired of fighting against blatant unfair advantages. The other reasons included boredom, and a general lack of things to do since most of my friends were also taking breaks. Which leads to point 2.
2) AO cannot stand on it's own for much longer without something to shake things up. It has had a good run for 9 years, but saying that it will continue to run with no major updates is simply stupid. We don't know the numbers of frozen or cancelled accounts per month, but FC probably does. Their revenue source is down, hence the in-game store. The population of veteran players is shrinking, not growing. And I think it's fair to say that the number of new players isn't growing very quickly.
3) There's nothing new to do at endgame. If some new content is NOT implemented, are we supposed to just be happy raiding beast for the billionth time? Power creep has trivialized the endgame zones to teams of 1-4 PvM lovechild profs. No other game has seen the effects of 9 years of power creep. This game needs a change if it is going to survive much longer.
That's assuming the game as well as peoples expectations to a game haven't changed at all over the course of those 9 years...Quote:

I'm pretty sure flying grass was the priority mentioned in the last FWM, but talking grass would DEFINITELY make me resub for another year.Quote:

VP, tokens, levels and the like do provide at least some degree of advantages to make your char more powerful. So since they went back on their original statement there's no reason to feel certain that anything and everything else may not eventually end up in that shop at some point.
