1) Lul ever heard pf Meteor Storm???
2) You just proved my point, I dont need to do all this (dual client, fcp, etc) with valk armor coz its good!!!!
1) Meteor Storm has 7 seconds cooldown, and a 1.5 fix + 6.3 variable cast time. It's not a good answer.
2) I didn't. You may dual clienting and waiting for FCP with valk. Won't avoid the STR weight limit drop, nor the fact that you will wait for your guild to fcp up regardless.
Guilds will always FCP and Buff. It prevents both divest and other gear-breaks from happening.
No point in being faster than your entire guild if you play alone.
This discussion is quite simple, actually:
People can't both argue that p2w is breaking the server and that everyone avoids p2w in WoE in order to justify not implementing options, because the latter is already a solution to the first.
To the first point, even if p2w didn't exist, it wouldn't matter. The ability to control MvP drops and therefore funneling game resources into a guild happens since I can remember. The difference is that FF is able to mitigate that difference, and even reverse it in some scenarios: Valk, to me, is a reversing one; I wouldn't use this crappy armor. Diabolus Robe, the other example, is one of mitigation. Coats giving lots of SP will become a viable alternative, and most of other bonuses are irrelevant here and there (cast delay is not very useful for a WoE Champion, more SP is not very useful to a WoE High Priest)
You can reduce the argument to individualistic vision (p2w wants because they already win, other guilds don't want it because they already lose), but it is futile: It is a MMORPG, the ball is already rolling, and it already dealt with balance significantly better through Options.
What really doesn't work in context is saying to an aspiring player that sitting on Lady Orc is ALWAYS better than grouping up and facing a Randgris.
To the second point, nothing to do about it. p2w can nerf themselves, other guilds can strengthen themselves / ally / keep ignoring p2w. Just don't come to Forums complain about Valk Armor locked at 1b each just because your top3 guild really wanted to........... use that valk to beat the top4.
