Plz create a reliable drop for this 2 Items!
 
Every Dungeon with silver or higher should have AT LEAST one!
 
Every Raidboss should have AT LEAST one!
 
 
thanks...

			Carbine said they will get right on that for you.

			If they do that now, people who spent all their EG on AMP and AP points will throw a hissy fit, and I don't blame them.

Maybe just abandon the whole idea and give us the remaining points then. Drop the elder gems into both the current stuff and then load up the vendors with non game affecting decor and costumes for elder gems prices. 
 
To be honest, the artificial grinding of points is not rewarding progression, it's just a pain in the cupcake.

Too easy to obtain, chua not like idea.

{| class="blockquote"
Oh wow.
Just wow.
I confess: This is an exploit I might have been tempted to at least hit for 1 or 2 points.

Like on Reddit, evidence would be cool.
Until a screen is shown or a reply from Carbine, nothing but hearsay

Carbine responsed that they are aware that this happened

No. Stop spreading misinformation.
It's a post by a forum mod (not game staff) saying they will "pass it along".
They are aware someone claims this happened.
 
Now, considering the similar screw ups in the past, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it did happen.
But there is no acknowledgement in your link.

{| class="blockquote"
" the team is aware this happened, and are going to look into it. ", if that's not an acknoledgement, I don't know what is.
 
Forum moderators are Carbine employees, what are you saying? She doesn't have info?
She works at the Carbine offices.
Looks like it happened, she said it happened.

			I remember something real similar happened with bg gear in wow one day several years back, the time window was a bit larger. Hell we all had decent free gear for about 8 hours, then they took it back. Nobody was punished, the gear was removed. Same thing will happen with this, if it happened....or let's say the same thing "should" happen.	
----
			On that same note there are reasons the previous thread was locked. We don't discuss exploits here on the forums even if they were solved / don't know the facts if they even existed to begin with / etc. This thread started out talking about AMPs and something completely different, so please keep on track with that topic.

{| class="blockquote"
The team is aware that this post / thread happened. I passed it on and indicated that I did. I don't work at the carbine offices. Please don't misunderstand my post. 
 
I also said I don't know what is going on with it, and that's why I passed it up. 
----
			She is a mod here, not on reddit.

You may want to clarify your post on this thread cause your message was taken as a quote saying that it truly happened
----
			
Changed the wording since it wasn't clear enough in the locked thread. Again, I saw the post here on the forums, saw the reddit post, have no information, but passed it up to those who have more power than me here as a forum moderator... I hope that's more clear, and I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding. Back on track please? :)

			I would put one guaranteed drop on every worldboss and just randomly distribute it between all participants that reached a certain threshold of contribution to avoid leeching. This makes them way more available but a single drop for the entire raid won't oversaturate the servers with those items either.It also helps with the attunement of newcomers/alts on less populated servers for the foreseeable future, as this should keep enough people interested to go out, roam the game world and hunt for worldbosses.

Since a full AMP/Ability Build should be baseline it wont be to easy for the benefit it gives.

Back on topic....I think the amp/ability point gating is fine as is to be honest.
 
I have several concerns right now about things in the game, mainly bugs and exploits not being addressed as fast as I'd like to see. I also am afraid that certain content gating is going to hurt this game due to unnecessary bottlenecks causing some major pains with players and guilds. It's not the difficulty, it's the method to get there that bugs me. I say that looking through the eyes of the community and not just my own.
 
I feel rather bad for those on lonely servers also. If it were not for joining a now defunct guild on the night of headstart I would have likely transferred off of Stormtalon. I think Carbine went out of their way to please us when we had very long queue times and are now probably wishing they hadn't.
 
Anyway....there should be things in the game that take time to achieve. I don't think this is the part of the game that needs adjusted.

Offtopic: The bug previously mentioned did happen. Supposedly it will be fixed.
 
On topic: These feel glacially slow. I understand progression; I raid lead in Genetic Archives. Progression is pretty close to being the only reason I play this game. I understand that individual character progression is very important in an MMO.
 
But Ability Tier and AMP points come in so slowly that it's hard to really feel like my character is gaining power. Every three weeks I'll shoot up in power, assuming that I never buy any gear, Ferris Wheels, mount customizations... These things are effectively locked behind an incredibly long Elder Gem grind that I can do nothing to expediate. It flips the goal of progression around; instead, my character feels powerless when compared to the Elder Gem grind. There's nothing to do but watch the weeks roll by in regards to these points, with exception to hoarding enough money to buy them at the cost of spending that elsewhere. I've heard of two people in my guild receiving these points from drops out of ~60 active players; they very nearly don't exist.

If they were required to down the current content I'd be more inclined to agree, however they are more like icing on the cake.
 
They have bigger fish to fry.

this should never be a reason not to fix something.
 
not saying this is something that does or doesn't, but i really do not lilke the idea that, because many had to suffer, all should. especially in an mmo's first year, when fine tuning is a must/guarantee.	
----
			It's not a good reason and it's also not something they practice. TF's is a fine example.

Hey everyone,
 
Since this thread has gone so far off-topic and Alice is now chasing a different rabbit, I'm going to lock this thread and redirect you here for Cougar's updates regarding the situation we're currently working to investigate.
 
Thanks,Team WildStar
