Eu Goons (or just the other EU Goon) Any opposition with going RED FACTION

Not much here, on the other hand I'm trying to mentally decide between Destroyer or Blade Dancer as a first character and I'm wondering if I just want the first founder's pack or if I want to go full swing and turn into some kind of Yasuo knockoff.

Actually, is there a pirate costume in game?

Yeah the premium points just decide what level of bonuses you get when you have premium running. Here's a handy chart.

At this point the $25 pack just gives you headstart and some lovely titles.

Eh, I'll probably end up getting that because I'm an impatient baddie.

Embrace consumerism to fill the emptiness inside you.

I bought Wildstar, I have already made some of the worst monetary decisions as is, but at least this one won't be too much of a bad idea.

You know what feels good? Defeating Pokey solo for the first time!

I know that feeling, though I thought Pokey was supposed to be hard?

So far the only complaints I have about the game are Blade Dancers are Lyn only and NCSoft is involved in the running of the game. Other than that, game seems real fun.

Are you dissing Lalafells? Because that might sound like dissing Lalafells.

Then again Lalafells are not in anyway even similar to Elin thankfully.

The bid system is one of my favorite ways to make money, I love forcing a bidding war on an item a pubbie really wants, forcing him to shill out a bunch of silver, then getting part of the take.

So...wait what, you can force a bid war on an item and then take the pubbie's money afterwards? Huh.

Correct, the way the loot system works, people bid al la auction style on items they want. When someone wins, it splits the money they bid on the item between the rest of the group. Makes it fun to do dungeons especially when I don't want anything, just to take other people's money and drive prices up. I usually can make 10-15s per dungeon doing this in the earliest dungeons, and I'm sure it gets better from there.

It's quite satisfying when a weapon someone needs for the breakthrough on their Hongmoon weapon drops, and you make them pay ten times what they would have had to pay otherwise. They get VERY mad, especially because they KNOW you don't need it, you're just loving them.

That and at least for the Blackram Narrows you can get the same breakthrough material from the chest at the end, this sounds like something I should go do more often.
