You are all intentionally ignoring the issues at this point since I have clearly stated in numerous times in numerous threads.

The majority of the so called rewards for top 3 on server 1 are sword plans. That is not a reward regardless of level. Imagine you are a player who never makes top 3. the last boss you have beaten in HR is the reanimated. Think about how many HB sword plans you have gotten in realms that you sold or abandoned. Now for some reason you make top 3 in cerebus and get an HB sword plan. Would you be happy? I doubt it. But this is precisely the problem. Getting yet another sword plan from baal/cerebus is not a reward. The sword/staff plans should only drop if you take first and the last boss you have beaten only drops sword/staffs. Giving the majority of players on an entire server sword plans for baal/cerebus is an insult. The only sword plan I need atm is 1 iron heart. When I eventually beat the second envoy, I will get it with in 3 days more then likely. Then when I beat the next HR boss I will get another one and another and another another. I dont need baal/cerebus to drop SWORD PLANS. NO ONE REALLY DOES if the level of gear awarded is based on HR. That's the problem to me. Not the level of gear. But everyone keeps insisting on saying this is about gear level and which boss you have defeated.

I actually like having it so that HR determines gear level of plans dropped form Baal/cerebus. I wish this would have been implemented from the beginning - and not to slow down people who coin more or anything like that. But because if done properly in a manner like I have suggested, then this would add another strategic element to the game for players.

Its the fact that sword plans are considered a reward for doing well in an event when that plan is the most dropped plan in HR.

Boo got an ironheart sword plan. He doesnt need that. But he does need other iron heart plans like relics and cloaks etc. SO the level part of this is mute. ITS the sword plans that are wrong and insulting to all players even those who say the like the change.

I got sword plans at guard level when I dont need them. I need other guard gear. Yet we are rewarded with the most useless plan possible a sword. STOP DROPPING SWORDS/STAFFS in Baal/cerebus
