No they shouldn't, craft etching, fail 20 times and get pooop, you figure. Etching box shouldn't have been introduced in the 1st place, now put in something that can be done with no hands in 5 mins?
tfw when people post BS replies.
What content are you talking about? I have cleared every dungeon in game by now, including vshm. HH is not going to drop superior etching boxes out of battle packs anymore if we are to believe our loot is same as ktera. So, even after clearing HH you have to pray to rngesus to get them. HH isn't even your everyday dungeon either, people like me who play from non-active times will have hard time finding HH raid because it requires 20 people. So, please enlighten me how clearing content can give me etching boxes now if they drop reliably only in 1 place and even then getting them is upto rng.
Its also pure hypocrisy that how you are fine with feed and mwa from events but not with vm9 mats lol.
Etching boxes are so rng..I have spent about 100k and still haven't got the etching I need. I know people who have spent way more to get the etching they wanted. One event isn't going to kill your t3 etching market.

Pure hypocrisy, LOL. I'm fine with more feed and mwa (not to mongo neon extent though, to be clear) because it actually helps deserving newbies who can clear content but don't have the time to grind for +15. It'd help my guildies and friends get faster clears since most of them started the patch with Misery+12 They can clear with misery+12 just fine, everyone getting better gear just means faster clears for me and my friends feeling that they have accomplished/progress through somehing. I'm against pve shitters that can't clear vshm (pvp is another story) getting talismans because now the streets of velika is brimming with vm9 trash, a problem that can't occur if the trash can't get the mats in the first place.
Also yes i disagree with HH20 loot. The ideal fix I have in mind would be to adjust the drops in HH accordingly. I cannot agree to letting etch4 boxes be brainlessly farmed.
Is not my market and that market is not made only of etchings, there are lots of mats that will be hurt if something like that happens, I don't gather mats from essences, minerals or plants, I don't make gold from embers or eases, my gold I earn them from IoD, Dungeons and BGs. Even so I am aware how several players will be hurt for this becuase is not something that will hurt only the price of etching.
To tell you the truth I have things that people has offered more than 32k EMP for only one piece, with that I can tell you that I don't need the gold for most of the things others farm.
Also, I am against superior etching boxes being handed that way becuase its suposed to be something you whould earn from the hardest content on the game and with this you will make those even more rewarding when you think about their droops. If you want those dungeons to be "that rewarding" then EME should stop to give away to any player things that should be exclusive for the people running the HM dungeons and HH.
It's actually not. You see, items, just like players, have tiers. Feedstock and MWA are items that can be and are used by all tiers of players. VM mats and the highest tier of etching should be exclusive because Tera is a gear grinder. If you don't tier the grind and everyone can have all the BiS items in no time by putting in no effort(let's be real, summer event is about as easy as it gets, it's not even lvl 65 exclusive), the whole game collapses. You can see the effects of the vh nm event already, you even complained about them. Yet, you've learned nothing.
You are overreacting lol. One event is not going to hurt the market in long run. Besides like I said, superior etching boxes are a rng, you can open 20 and still not get the etching you want.
Yeah but dungeons aren't dropping them lol. So, where are we supposed to get them? From the looks of things, HH isn't gonna drop them from battlepacks either and every other dungeon has very very low chance to drop them. I am all up for not adding etching boxes to event but right now there is no realistic way to obtain them other than buying them off broker.
I mean, t4 etchings are pure rng .. not even a grind. You can buy a box for 12k , get super lucky and get the etching you want or you can open 50 boxes and not get it.
at least that's 12K to the person that got the box in harrowhold
You say this because maybe you never had tryed to craft t3 etchings. I have mastery on every job in crafting and at least know how unfair it would be for those who try to craft t3 etchings, if you don't know crafting t3 etchings is rng over rng over rng so getting a t3 etching could be even more dificult than a t4 if you are not lucky, the big diference between the etching box is that you will get a random permanent t4 etching and when you try to craft t3 etching you will get an useless limited time use (3-days or something like that) if you fail with a high cost at it.
And so are the t3 etchings.
That is part of the grind. You go grind for gold, buy a box, if you get lucky, you get it, if not, you go grind again. Alternatively, you could also buy the etching form somebody else(with a lib scroll and a whole lotta trust). Etching has always been pure RNG and, from the looks of it, it'll stay that way because it's a lazy way to extend the grind. If you drastically increase the availability for t4 through something like summer event, you will make it the standard. 6 months from now, summer event is not around any more, t4 etching is not that easy to obtain but people still expect you to have it. What do you think happens then? The exact same thing that happened with VS HM and VM9: People who don't have the resources struggle.
I think the part reason why people ask for +15s for vshm is because bosses have tons of hp and endurance. I was told this wasn't the case last patch, though idk since I wasn't playing back then.
