Some said it was to drive SC sales but all the other evidence at the time was that the EQ2 devs never gave a thought to the impact any changes they were making might have on EQ2X. I think that by then Legendary had already become the de facto minimum standard for gear on Live. They were already tuning solo content in the expectation that everyone will be wearing full legendary and using Expert spells, I believe.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-38327379535114447592012-04-04T09:47:11.814+01:002012-04-04T09:47:11.814+01:00There does seem to be a misuse of the terms legend...There does seem to be a misuse of the terms legendary and fabled in EQ2, should I really be seeing anything with that label before I reach an endgame, even if it's no longer the current cap? <br /><br />The cynic in me thinks: well F2P players need unlocks for these so why not shower them all over the place to tempt people...<br /><br />I guess the item revamp predated the F2P conversion though?<br /><br />There's the analogy with 'purple' items in WoW. In the old game they were rare wondrous items to behold. Then the token system came in and heroics dungeons started dropping them and now they're just standard end-game loot, nothing special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
