Frostfell Gear purchased with Tokens require Unlockers?

[Gravy]

<p>The gear (armor, jewlery, and weapons) that are purchased with Tokens in Frostfell Village are generally Legendary.</p><p>This means a Free-to-Play person must buy unlockers to use these items.</p><p>It seems that if someone grinds out enough tokens to buy these items they should be able to use them.</p><p>In past, an argument could be made that these items have very good stats and should be flagged as Legendary. But now, the stats are actually pretty poor, less than Mastercrafted at the tier, and as a result a 'Treasured' flag would be appropriate.</p>

<p>Ah poo...I was hoping they redid those stats to reflect good legendary gear.  Ah well <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>You should be able to wear Mastercrafted at Silver, at least.</p>

<p>Buy unlockers or a sub if you want to use legendary/fabled.</p>

Players must grind out zones and quests to earn tokens. It seems unfair to restrict the gear they buy with those tokens.</p><p>On top of that, the gear really isn't Legendary. The flags are old.</p>

[darwich]

yeah , probably shouldnt be tagged as legendary IMHO
