I have not made a shield for a single player since the restrictions on shields have been lifted! Sorry again, don't think you know my motives yet.

Equal to I can accept but the extreme effort to level then get the right mats and you still cant beat an event item is crap. Would you have complained if it was a no level restricted quality level 250 amp of some crazy stat like 120/120. I doubt it
Shields are Shields these look nice and have good mods. If it was something else you didnt craft you wouldnt be upset. The fact that this item is your main craft makes you upset. I dont see you complainging about the 30%+ protection factor double boosted light armour.
Actually I think you would be right, except a level 50 player cannot wear that LA. The fact is that this "Special item" Q250 super uber item can be bought by anyone that put in an almost minimal amount of effort on the event. So not only is it that EVERYONE can hold it and use it... (read: lvl 30 1 hander walks through mobs up until they do more than 350 damage)
I guess this post ties into my other post a bit more than I thought. The factthat EVERYONE can have a Q250 Super Uber elite shield is as much of a problem as them using it. A Q200 digger would have had to dig 100 mats to be able to get this... what is that? 15 minutes of effort for a Q250 supreme shield? A Q100 digger it would have taken maybe an hour to do the same over what 3 or 4 weeks? This is the problem too. A handful of people should have been able to buy this shiedl and it should have taken an extraordinary effort to be able to get it, not an inconsequential effort.
Again, the LA is not the same as you may be able to buy it but you need to hold onto it in your bag until a time at which you can wear it.
I am not sure why you insist I am mad because it is a shield... I am not. I am mad because of a game mechanic and a honour point pricing issue that makes it very very easy for EVERYONE to have a Q250 Supreme shield. Even if you throw out that anyone can use it, the fact that EVERYONE with minimal effort can now have an item that previously could only be had by a few people who were willing to pay an exorbinant price is just silly. The "higher powers have decided to absolutely FLOOD the market with Q250 supreme shields thus putting ALL shield crafters out of business.
Even if you want to say that the LA is the same it isn't. There are 4 more pieces to a set of Light armor. Seems you the LA crafters would still have a market for all of those pieces.
Noin.
