The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

And someone in another thread called ME delusional recently!

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Pretty sure that the fact that a service can be hacked doesn't make it the "community chest".

You're not looking then...I post 20 for 1.9M every week or so.  Let me know what time you'll be on and I'll post 20 more for you.  Or you can buy my 100 for 90 AS, players choice.

Just curious - what do you do with all that plat? You must be plat capped, or near, on all your toons. Just buy high priced items?

Yeah, I do appreciate the effort some of you guys put into keeping to AH supplied with reasonably priced goods but I'm po'.

Between leveling up crafting and equipping all my build experiments that never make it past level 10 I have 21 AS and 400k plat to my name.

1.9 million and 90AS is Bill Gates money to me.

On topic though. It wouldn't surprise me if Turbine fucking the loot tables wasn't the reason for new players being driven to the AH for gear which could lead to this scenario.

Most new players seem to tolerate up to level 5-10 and then quit. It's not that weird tho' as normal people play a game for months, not years.

Give it to new players in need, buy tomes and the like to keep the guild chest stocked, buy items and put them on the shard exchange to use for re-rolls on loot. Omnispell dust is getting pricey too.

On one of threads in the past where one dude suggested adding use of plat for people with multiple characters at cash cap, bunch of retards suggested that the greatest use of plat is to give it away to poor noobs/newbs.
Personally, I would prefer to spend that plat more productively, for example burn it.

Buy tomes for pp, sell for as.
Better than giving it away.

Well, you still need plat for some shit. The occasional repair bill, spell comps, guild scrolls/pots, hundreds of yugo pots, etc. It is pretty common that those who don't bother duping gems run out of plat from time to time.
