I fucking caved too. I looked at the prospect of running all the fucking challenges to 5 stars and said FML I'll just fork over the points.

I have to agree. So many things that are all about the HP and leveling. Level folks to build your guild! Level up to get big bonuses! Need to level? Here have a stone! Want a cute white kitty? Get more folks to level up too! Hey, why don't we throw in an overall XP boost while we're at it? Not only do they want to sell expansion packs, but they want plenty of high level players to leap into that expansion right off the bat. See, Warner Brothers board of directors? See how nifty new content is? See why we need more money and more employees? See the packs sold and the happy, shiny, high level toons playing the expansion?

	It also gets more people playing to prop up their numbers to their corporate bosses. I believe it is their way of telling the suits, "See? We won't fail like 38 Studios... We learned from AC2 not to make a whole new game out of rule changes. Instead, we will bastardize what they are currently doing... Don't read the forums, the numbers support it! "

Totally agree. The Vets will come to play the expansion, no matter what. It is as if George Lukas would make another Star Wars continuing trilogy. I would not be able to avoid going to the movie, even if I know that to 95% would be Lukas shit.

Man, I bought that the second it was available and I almost never spend turbine points. OP Easymode class is OP, especially if you mostly solo, like I do. I'm probably TRing my first Arti on thelanis into a dr00d, because after the expansion comes out, those guys will be the new easymode. Kinda makes me wish I'd started playing before the drow nerf.

I defended the staggered release of the class but when they tied the favor to unlock it to the odious challenge star mechanics I said fuck you Turbine.� Alas, I'm weak and my main is my crafting too and has 3 ranger PLs.� I can't take the fucking rangers keep getting so An arti with 3 ranger and 1 sorc PL seems like a good idea.� It will likely eventually be 3 Sorc PL's but I want him up and farming gear ASAP.

	I unlocked Arti with favor. It sucked. But I also did it when I was way worse at challenges. As it is now, my "challenge toon" FvS has almost 100 cannith favor, with 0 of the flagging quests or raids done. I also unlocked FvS with favor. Thank god Druid is free to VIPs. It honestly kinda sucks not being able to go to any server and make a FvS or an Arti.

	FVS with favor is dumb easy. There's more than 4K favor in the game and more on the way in the xpack, all you have to do is run some stuff on elite. I get to 3K favor sometimes on TR lives if I'm soloing a lot and not grinding as much. Arti on the other hand is way, way too painful. Rest runs challenges all the time with probably the best challenge group on the server, of course it's easy for him. There's no way you can solo challenges to 150 without a ton of practice so for me that would mean hours upon hours of trying to pug challenges for stars. Fuck that, I got maybe 3 six stars and gave up.

You'd have an easier time earning TP with all of the OTHER sorts of favor and "unlocking" it THAT way the next time it goes on sale in the store.

Fuck that, I got maybe 3 six stars and gave up. Unlocking Artificer: Elite completions on flagging raid quests: 57 favour Normal MA and LoB completions: 14 favour 5 star most non-epic challenges: 50 favour 2 star shortcuts/disruptor: 4 favour 1 star all epic challenges: 9 favour This puts you at 134 favour and challenges at this level are generally soloable. The last 16 favour gets harder, I got it by doing hard completions of MA and LoB. MA hard with no trap disabler was fucking hilarious. Generalisations here, I got more epic stars on some quests and didn't bother with others, ymmv. Definitely soloable by anyone who's figured out that they can use the WASD keys to move/strafe and the mouse to look around. Doable by many builds but obviously much easier with some.

	Yes I was surprised at how easy the unlock is after spending 4-5 days grinding challenges 8 hours a day cause I decided to make a bunch of items to T3 from scratch Then I managed to get my gimpy sorc into an eLoB (kites dogs like a pro! ) and voila, I didn't even have to do all the flaggers on elite lol. Main problem is prob MA, hardly anyone does it these days, although I have to say I didn't really notice any difference between norm and hard, it's the same stupid shit all over, just with slightly higher numbers.

	Too bad you can't use a 2nd stone on a toon...I could knock out a second TR in a week with the +30% bonus. I thought the bard life would be a grind (well it was...) but I got it done fairly quickly.
