Low-Renown weapons are the most affected by the price cut, but every weapon has been given a nice drop in cost to make the more accessible. The full announcement goes into some detail about the philosophy behind it, no doubt part of the effort at increased transparency from the development team. Best of all, there's no delay in the changes -- they've already gone live and can be enjoyed by all players. So if you feared the long march in Warhammer Online for a decent weapon from RvR and for RvR, you've had a lucky day indeed.

Hmm, unless this is some sort of pun that's flying over my head, did you perhaps mean sticky *wicket*? I'm not normally so pedantic, but I hate to see a good cricket metaphor go to waste.

Every time they "tweak" it, they mess it up a lil more... Now you can't get the next tier currency, because their first tweak introduced weapons entering the world "in an unintended rate"... So they have to go back to the drawing board again... All they were adding was currency and weapons. Who knows what the next patch will bring...
These the same guys that are going to fix T4?

Game's been out for almost two years... you still think they can fix T4?

Two years has less to do with my lack of confidence as much as recent "fixes"..
Regardless, with the current state of PvP MMOs, I'll hang with it till something better comes along...
should be any day now... : p

You ever feel that the Warhammer devs, by the virtue of committing to a game almost solely based on large scale PvP, have a -considerably- steeper hill to climb than other MMO devs?
Not trying to be a troll or anything; I just honestly wonder if I'm alone in this.
I don't envy their job. I think balancing and planning a world built around PvE with some PvP smattered across it (WoW, etc) would be SO much easier than what these guys are trying to do.
I give WAR a lot of leeway---there are huge problems, but in my mind their job is more akin to shoveling sand with a pitchfork while being attacked by killer kittens, whilst the rest of the MMO devs get to sit and paint happy trees.
