Invasions: Draconic Gem - Tell us what you think!

[NaturalBornKiller]

My opinion is that remove and nerf... are NEVER, EVER, good ideas... you keep having this 'nerfing' politics without thinking that's the main cause for people to leave...

If you give something, some power, some skill... anything... you can't take it back... what do players want? players want MORE... of everything... always.

That's true also for the balance issue... you could do balance increasing powers that are weak instead of decreasing powers that are too powerful... would cause a lot less trouble.

So my vote is... if you want to improve the other wishes do it... but keep the draconic gem... after all... if the majority doesn't want it... it's not a problem... because nobody will choose it... isn't it?

If they are heroes of the realm better remove gem stats and add some visual perk. This can be some fancy stuff which lasts like week. But only visual please.

I see nothing heroic in Draconic gem. Most of the times this kind of battles are arranged and whoever wins it does not deserves it at all.

Well as a test for the realm athmosphere it is nice, but devastation and drama it causes is absurd. As Horus was created till now i saw several times draconic gems was the cause of massive crash and depopulation of realms.

This is from sided point of view. During the low server hours, one realm can have more people online than the combined population of the other two realms. And that is enough to open a window for repeated invasions and wishing gem as much as desired. So by morning, you'd be having draconic gems floating around simply because they couldn't get anyone to stop them during invasions, which is absurd.

You'd be surprised given the opportunity how many people would hop onto the gem wagon without caring for balance or fairness or the server/game itself.

while it seems valid, there's a major flaw. players want more for themselves and less for everyone else.

grounding arrow was buffed pretty nicely and it caused a huge outcry, similar thing with staff mastery.

my opinion is that they should find a solution that works, not one that aims to please somebody, as (it would seem to me) the player base is rather ungrateful

Get rid of it. I can't stand that only one person benefits from something :/
