PVP: Elemental Essence and Veilthroch
At this current moment in time, NA does not have the option to buy Elemental Essence (EE) or Velithroch from Metamorphic Emblem. Therefore, if all you do is PvP in tera, you must get them from the Bellicarium Shop. If you lose, you only get 44k point and if you win 130k(rougly) points. Each EE costs 600k and each Velithroch costs 1.5million. If you lose all day long, you will have to do 34 runs to get a single Velithroch. Each run lasts about 15-30 mins depending upon the players. Furthermore, there is not a guarantee that you will even be able to get into each game, depending upon how many are quing. While pve players, can get an EE and Velithroch every run, with HO a run can take 15-20mins. This seems extremely unbalanced. As a PvP'er, I have to learn PvE just to attempt for HO. Or else, it will take months for a SINGLE try. I have over 100k Metamorphic Emblem due to buying items from Tera Shop, they are just sitting in my bank collecting dust, since I have nothing to spend it on. The cost of EE and Velithroch needs to be reduced to be on par with PvE players or add EE/Velithroch to Metamorphic Emblem as it is in KTera.

If you have HO why you want EE/VT?
Yes it drops on every run but you have other people rolling for it.
The addition to meta shop will come in a later patch
First off, not everyone has SC +9 and HO. Some people like me are just in base SC or slightly better. In my opinion people who spam BGs have it easier. If you don't have the gear then you can't even do a lot of the dungeons with high item level requirement. Plus you do those in parties, so everyone is rolling/competing for the material drops.
Dungeon entrances are limited per day (though you have more runs with elite and you can use all the different instance reset scrolls). BGs, however, can be spammed all day without abandon.
Its PvE and dungeons that need to be buffed, BG rewards were just buffed. In addition to adding it to metamorphics, they should make those available to buy in the Guardian Legion credit shop, it'd really help a lot of players that prefer PvE over PvP but don't necessarily have the gear to run the high-end dungeons. They also need to double the drops in dungeons overall, so that more players in each run have a chance of getting the materials instead of just one or two players who happen to roll successfully for it.
also to clarify, essences and shards were added to the meta emblem shop, not veilthrochs.
The cost of meta material should drop tremendously otherwise its going to oppose a threat to the game in the foreseen future because gear is becoming obsolete pretty quickly.
