but to comment on your post, i buy item malls skills for almost every char i have, regardless if its for pvp or pvm, cleric buffs included, as well as many others i know,. i also use plutos/ven to ref my gear regardless if its honor gears for pvp or reinforced for farming. i buy lucky spins and lots other things in the item mall so please dont generalize us all together on that aspect (that only hardcore pvpers buy item mall).
I am talking about us CD regulars.
