where are the promised footguards?

A lot of people are making the same decision (look at the amount of high level kit for sale atm etc and the great players known on this forum who have recently left or play infrequently).

In some ways I think that MA almost want the mid level players (those who have saved up for or looted higher 'level' armours) to leave. The mid level players remember 'how it was', have skills gathered before the nerfs and form the 'difficult squad' - those who ask difficult questions.

Either way introducing the footguards, having sporadic and slow drops of the armour and not giving them to players who already had reasonably full sets of an armour type hits the mid level player much harder than the new players (who can complete their pixi or goblin).

At least I have saved some money by not been able to hunt since new VU Since I did not loot any shadow footguards after xxxxxx hogglos, or could find any for sale..

The new VU will cost Nakia and me about 35k....yea...great way to take care of steady high depositing customers MA..

ouch...


plus, I'm kind of sure you got away many times cheaper than some others who have multiple high-end sets... THOSE WERE ALL FULL SETS!!!

and even if it'd have been several times less, it's still kind of a lot...

I feel for you... These past few months happened to be times when I was not able to deposit, which made it nearly impossible to try to loot foot guards effectively. Since I could not hunt much during that time window it pretty much screwed me over for having the chance to loot the ones I need. I still lost hundreds of dollars attempting to loot them though.

Not even pixi.

Ditto, same here, NOTHING!

O.K. i am definately not a big depositor (100 peds a week), but during the foot dropping period i have put in more than i have for the rest of the year.
Nothing, not even a pair of pixie.....

I have managed to buy my Gnome from a soc beacon mission, but i still need Pixie, Gremlin, Vigi, Ghost, Goblin, Shogun, Hunter.

And no, my globals won't allow me to buy them, not at the rate of 2 globals in the last 6 months

Hmm, now what kind of a place would PE be if the majority of the older players (2+years) were not around anymore and were just a bunch of new players that knew little to nothing of the history of around here?

case and point...I wonder how many newer players know that there use to be certain players who illegally duplicated mod faps, and got to keep them. This and a hundred or so other historical facts/realities about this project tend to reveal unpleasant traits about the gate keepers I am sure would be better off if no longer known about.

Im sure there would be a general increase of happiness and joy if there was noone around but new high $ depositors who dont know any better of the history of stains. Or those who have been around long enough to of seen things go from good to bad to worse.

But still, it doesnt really matter as things will continue to go in the direction it has over the last couple years, as long as you keep depositing. Even then I doubt it would matter much if deposits stopped, they have very large plans for the near future and I have the feeling we have been the means of getting there, not the end result. Our backs are but a mere stepping stone for what is to come for the "new generation".

Got footguards but placing them on auction gives Internal Error.
Wonder what MA changed this time.

Er, didn't you just get about 150k of loot/items from a Chomper not long ago? Not to mention one or two other really nice items before that? And they are not taking care of you?

Thats not the point now is it.

The point is they are doing this to all their customers that put alot of money into the game and not just me. Lower armored players will ofc not care if they have to spend 1k on foot guards. But when you have been fighting to get your Shadow or other high end armor complete and then find out that you still have to spend 20k on it, to get it complete once more, thats not fun now is it.

Glad we do not have more than 2 pair shadow armors to get foots for,
even if that is to much allready.

I can't even buy foot guards, cause there is not enough dropping...
Managed to get female, wonder how long I will have to use to finish the armor this time, as I did with the thigh guards..

Excuse me? Why would lower armored players not care if they have to pay 1k peds on foot guards? Not everyone is made of money you know, 1 k ped is a big deal to a lot of players. I think everyone that owned a full set before the VU should have gotten free foot guards (yes, even pixie).
