PoE Footguards given to PoE owners

Now how many Bear users (the ones that use it on a skills vs. equipment basis) would be able to hunt SEGs for the needed guards? At that point it was rather obvious where this train was heading to.

I had assumed that Footguards would drop according to a viable effort in obtaining them. And by that I don't mean having the money power.

So basically MA messed it up in first place by improper introduction. Why should we expect them to handle the free giveaways in any sensible way?

I too would have liked to see all owners of previous full sets given the Footguards for free.

But its an old saying in MMOs, nothing is more vain than the things get hit by the nerfbat of developer. Its basically the same old story, what will happen when...

Just a quick comment on the bearthing... 2 parts for bear besides feet drops from SEG, so with your analogy no hunter wearing bear ingame would have gotten a set in the first place?... Incl the harness btw, which seems to have been deciding for what to drop what footguard alltogether... Btw SEG arent exactly a "hard" mob in team, neither are 99% of the other mobs ingame that are impossible to kill alone without insane gear

Not gonna get involved in the actual "discussion" here since all sides of the matter have already been put forward in good/bad/really-good/really-crap ways so nothing left to say.
Id just like to add myself to the ones that think that anyone that already had a full (6parts before update) set should have gotten feet for free regardless of armor as ive said all along btw, shame the protests died down so fast after the "VU from hell".
Yes i know some might argue that "what if you had 5 parts" etc but you gotta cut somewhere and actually having a complete set before seems like the right place to start for me.
(one exception though, the sets where gloves hadnt dropped yet ofc, if a part isnt ingame then id consider 5 parts as "full" as it gets since owner went the full mile to gather all he/she could...)

As I said back then - if X owned the shins - X should have the TT value of shins split in 2 like 99ped shins would result in 66ped shins and 33ped footguards...

Noone heard me tho...

it's funny how that works. when I was trying to point out just what a vile move the implementation of foot guards were, eveyone else was obsessed with some stupid two pec equip cost and fixing their clothes.

Exactly - 2pec my arse - I actually think that 1pec armor decay cost and 2 pec tailoring cost is a good implement - but stealing 16% armor from me - aint

Would have been an excellent idea...It's too bad your signature is correct about MA having the worst communication ever. Don't take this the wrong way, but as Sweden is often a somewhat quiet and neutral country... MA does a good job of making Swedish people look arrogant and smug. It's kind of like how George W. Bush makes us Americans look like douchebags! Are Swedish people proud of the way MA represents their country? (I know a leader of a country and a single gaming company are two completely different things, but for many people in other countries EU is the only connection they share with Sweden). By the way, I love Swedish people... So don't even go there.

god damn moron is giving me a head ach with his needless and insulting post!

I don't eat Turkey so that is highly unlikely . I do feel the need to point out though that you give me crap for what I said then you turn around and say the same thing. How exactly does that make you any different than me? Anyway sorry for the off topic.

I once thougt that all participants are the same in EU.
So why get some owner of armor sets their Foot guards for free while all the others have to hunt or buy them and have to spend Peds for that?

There are a lot of rare Armor sets in game and everyone has to go and get their maching foot guards with hunting or with a lot of Peds from the Auction?

So you gave to a random 5 people like 8000 Ped Market Value for nothing, as some not even where the ones who got them in the first place but bought them from the winner of the event?

Or if it is because they won that Event and the armor was given free to them, what happend to other Armor set Winners from Events? Why did they not get a free set of Foot guards?

Do you really think this is fair in any way?

BTW I even read that they got their foot guards with full TT on it.

So I just ask you where are my PoE foot guards or are there two categories of participants in EU? All have to spend Peds to get their footguards if they have looted, bought or won their sets in a events except this 5 persons with PoE get a present of MindArk each at a value of 8000 Peds to 10000 Peds Market Value and as mentioned bevore they where given to them with full TT so where are the foot guards for all the other players of EU?

As expected, and they even do not relay it to someone who can answer or is responsible for it.

Either one support case is not enough or they really do not care at all to their customers.

Whats new?

MindArk Communication sux in this matter - maybe I should make myself a personal hate site against the MindArk and collect signatures from players getting pissed off about their lack of communication...

Not only that, but I bet the money for them came straight out of the loot pool. Didn't cost MA a pec.
