I even budgeted for PoE, but luckily I didn't need to buy those.
IMHO I feel that most people who feel hard done by, just didn't adapt to the situation. Every VU the most important thing is being able to adapt.

Avery is right, although he decided to be submissive about the situation.
What it comes down to is this... You can try to persuade
MA to do what logically should have been done in the first place, or you can try to adapt and do what Avery did. Sure, it is possible to loot other sets of foot guards and sell them to other players for way more than they are probably worth. You could eventually take these profits and just buy the foot guards you need. I would have done this, but it would have required forcing many other unfortunate players without foot guards to buy them from me for unfair markups.
When someone walks up behind you and bends you over, you can either adapt and quickly lube up your cornhole, or you can turn around and clock him in the jaw. Sure, clocking him in the jaw might still end with an ass raping, but at least you know you tried to protect your anal virginity. In this case though,
MA provided the lube themselves by drastically reducing the decay on high end armor sets. Thanks, now that the pain is gone it's just humiliation.
Sorry for the crude analogy, but there is no other accurate way to portray the situation. Call me a whiner, call me complainer... I'll eventually get my foot guards someday. If
MA hadn't kept the whole foot guards thing a secret until they were released I might not be so angry. If
MA hadn't promised they would drop enough before the VU when they were required I also wouldn't be so angry. If
MA hadn't already done many things like this in the past to me...
Oh well. Looks like
MA won this fight. All of you who were silent because it didn't affect you... Just wait.
MA will come along and nerf your main activity soon, forcing you to shell out more money just to be able to keep doing the same thing you have been doing. When that day comes, I will only stop into your thread to tell you to stop whining. I'll stop now, since there are too many lubers and not enough fighters in
EU.
