Lordhelmos, it's already fast becoming that way. People prefer just getting run to LA and mapping to Kaieng(SP) to get different skins of cheap armor, that also have more actual stat variations to pick from.

I thought you needed to be ascended for that.

No, ANET said that you would have to be ascended to goto Cantha. They lied.

I think the person who made this either

a) has been in ascalon RA recently and seen someone with Droks
or
B) Can't run to droks

Sorry but I have 5 chars and 4 of em got run to lions arch or Droks...why? it was hard enough bringing my Ranger threw the entire game and getting the money and materials for it...so I think its fine as it is no need for a nerf at all...and also I will type out what Arena net have put in the Factions game guide about runners

Runner: Applies to high level player who will guide lower level players through dangerous territory they could not easily traverse on their own, usually in exchange for gold (though some benevolent runners offer their services for free). Thought this is an effective way to unviel the map, it can be expensive, robs lower-level players of the the full game experiance, and is not officaly endorsed in any way. If you feel you must pay a runner to reach a paticular area, however, it is wise to avoid those who demand the full fee up front- such "runners" might be trying to con you out of your hard earned gold. Note that "runner" is also sometimes used as shorthand for "flag runner".

So to cut that down basicly they are saying it will make the game easier and ruin the challenge but its up to you what you want to do with your money...heck they even gave the customer some tips good ol Arena net

oh and /notsigned

I fully agree with your statement! When you have finished the game and start a new character and take a run to Droks there is nothing wrong with it.

Armor doesn't teach you how to play your character it just helps you a bit in the beginning to get through the boring missions and quests in the beginning. You still need to learn how to play your character even ith the best armor.

i agree, theres no point, maybe they should just make it harder by removing holy veil's hex remove ability

ANet has already made the run to Droks harder, they added a lot of extra baddies on the way. I started doing the Droks ru all on my own just to see if I could do it. And believe me they have made it a bit harder then what it was in the beginning, also holy veil is not the only way to remove hexes it is just faster then most other, you can use at least 2 or 3 other skills to remove hexes that i know of.

One thing I do get irretated about is the ppl in beacons that always keep on shouting that paying 1.5K or 2K for a run is way to expensive. Have they ever done this run?? Or are these the noobs that are supposed to still actually finish their first charcter and don't have the money to pay for the run. If they don't have the money to pay for the run then they won't have the money to buy the droks armor in any case, so why run there??

I don't mind paying someone 2K to run me to droks on my new character, 1stly because i know what it takes to run to Droks, its their effort and time & 2ndly they had to work hard to be able to run droks. We all know that anybody can run from Ascelon to Beacons, but very few of those can actually run all the way to droks.

So I would say, if its your first character then play out the game so you know the story, if its your 2nd or 10th char take a run and don't be skimpy about paying someone for their effort and expertise

Well thats just my 2 cents worth

Beautiful solution.

This actually sounds like an exelent solution the more I think of it, also ANet can add a string to that, if you don't have the next mission open already and completed up to droks, then you can't exit the gate, the skills you can cap there you can do when you get to droks

Or maybe just the first part, so once one of your chars has gotten somewhere then all your other chars can get there too

there is nothing wrong with droknars runs what so ever
you still need to get ascended so sooner or later
you will do all missions.
