Different bosses give different point values, trash gives certain point values, etc. If you a miss a raid, you don't get the points, and if you run an instance for the first time there's no chance you'll get an important piece of gear over someone else, since the drops off the bosses are great, but you won't be getting a main piece of gear. That way, it's only a gamble for some of the shinies.<BR/><BR/>This doesn't make it like pvp or arena -- why? First of all, you still need to go out and farm the consumables, read up on the boss fights, show up to raids, and do your part. Plus, it's not a sure thing whether or not you'll get a drop from a boss. It's gambling and working toward a goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13266751.post-232758273269974812007-07-07T14:27:00.000-04:002007-07-07T14:27:00.000-04:00I agree it is nice to have the options, but you ca...I agree it is nice to have the options, but you can never balance the two sides. It makes it tough to make any sort of change to either side.heartlessgamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809717223567961650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13266751.post-25536725292346604822007-07-07T12:36:00.000-04:002007-07-07T12:36:00.000-04:00I don't know.

There's certainly something to be said for having clearly defined goals, a clear path to those goals, and a near-perfect time estimate for the length of that path. That's what PvP can do for you. Hell, if you fight instead of afk honor farming you might even get there a little faster.<BR/><BR/>However, that's exactly the reason I didn't chase PvP rewards throughout most of my WoW career. I would go, "Hmm. Well, it would take me three weeks of three hours per day of honor farming to get that cool weapon. Or I could just go on this instance run and have the random chance at cool gear." Many times, you get nothing but frustration for your time. But sometimes, you get the big pay-off. <BR/><BR/>I look at it like working versus gambling. Working gets you definite pay-off after a predetermined period of time. Gambling usually nets you nothing and when you do win, you actually get less than if you had just worked for it. But it's WAY more exciting.<BR/><BR/>I kind of like that you have both options to accommodate different tastes in WoW.Cameron Sordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912508338947483606noreply@blogger.com
