Normalization today seemed more like nerfalization. Didn't like it and I'm not a p50.

it took a long time for me to reach pvp level 50. wish they had waited a month to "normalize" so i could have enjoyed it longer.

I haven't reached it. Takes the wind out of my sails. They've more to do. Won't go live until Sl if they chose to go that route.

WoW! Well, one thing you can count on is Trion not sticking to same-old same-old. Dropping the 2-sides faction (which never made sense to me except that other games did it). Big change, great idea, hopefully comes in time to save our defiant side. Potentially removing gear from pvp? Sounds great, except that Rift is a gear-treadmill-style game. How to keep the people who grinded that gear from feeling robbed? For me, I was closing in on my Criterion synergy and weapons. Then I saw youtube of people getting sargeant and leiutenant in the same conquest. The whole thing's so messed up, I quit. I've been watching Drakhor do low-level warfronts on a couple of characters lately (cept they did away with level-locking). There gear differences are tiny, so it's all about strategy. Looks like it could be a lot more fun without gear than what we've been doing. Hope it works out!

I am not the biggest pvp fan (I am rank 43 I think but thats what happens after a year + of dailies), but I wonder if it will take away some incentive. I certainly wouldn't do dailies or really pvp much unless i was very bored. But with soo many options that wouldn't happen much. So many play for the shiny gear and bragging rights that I think some would leave. I guess you could say its for the best. But the way it is, if you put in some time, you do get rewarded. The new way has no real reward. MMO's in general use the reward system to stimulate play (in general) although not all players subscribe to that. I just do what I want, and there is tons of options Treaa

If after a couple of years into the game, they remove the progression rewards people have earned by being dedicated PvPers, specifically, the performance advantage one would gain by having a full set of R50 gear as opposed to the gear a beginner would have, I am out. That would be a staggering betrayal to the people who have invested time and money into that segment of this game after all this time. This should have either been done on day one or never. I guess we'll see....

Well, it's official, they're backing away from normlization. We'll see what they can figure out.
