Well, can't say I didn't see this coming. That's all the patch changed, so it was a specific patch designed to hurt those 40-85 before GOD who hadn't yet used the system as it is intended to be used.

You get stones of destiny, we don't. I finally play retail and this is what I geeeeet?
Are you sure this changed? I find it extremely unlikely that a code change went through that quickly. More likely is that your inventory was too full. It must be under 80%. You don't get a message, it just doesn't withdraw.
Honestly getting 76 in 14 days isn't all that hard. You have to work for it, but that's about it. I feel sorry for the people that were lvl 40-50 before the patch. Basically should have rerolled at that point. ><
Tell that to the orange named mobs that only give .4% exp in the high 40's and are particularly lethal. So, only about 250 of those times several times for B grade.. and we all know how fun the exp curve is around 52.
Oh, and that's with vitality, and vitality won't refresh until stone of destiny is over.
Those people got a week head start and are nothing short of non-lifers who can put 18 hours a day into it. I salute their complete lack of commitments and thus lives.
Otherwise, the older population was given these mechanic-bypassing things for free, and the whole point of this new free to play bit is to encourage the newer generations.
Not saying the old players shouldn't get them, but definitely not -just- the old players and the fanatics.
I just claimed it ~10 min ago on a lv 65 char. Granted I did recive it yesterday, could neither take it out due full iventory but after fixed that :P was no problem to tale it out.
The stone was put in because people had made these toons sometimes YEARS ago and it's there incase the awakened toon is not to their needs or wants. That and everyone has a boxed buffer or two (WC+bd) and so on... so having 2 enchanters does nothing productive. The reason they put a 2 week thing at lvl 76 is because everyone making a toon knows about the new classes, what skills they get and so on. If you say doing everyone of lvl 40+ next week, why not 40+ the week after that or even just keep handing them out forever. Just because You started a week late when the game has been free to play for 2 weeks and GoD has been out for a week doesn't mean you get special bonuses. We are asking for the mentee certificates because there is no possible way for us to have gotten them using the appropriate channels. It's not a matter of leveling more, or doing a super quest or anything. Short of rerolling our characters that have existed for years we can't do it.
For those who don't know. The mentee's certificate was able to be claimed by any character on the account and not just the character you used to get it. This allowed people in the 40-85 range to get one in a round-about way.
Now post-patch the certificate can't be withdrawn on other characters.
The ability to withdraw the certificate made up for the downright stupid idea to disallow old, returning players from benefiting from the system.
I actually thought in my ignorance that there was a possibility the certificate would be given to all 40-84 characters during maintenance today. because, well.. That would make sense.
Now the situation is like this: Someone who comes to the game TODAY can reach an awakened state quicker than someone who starts from a level lower than 80. It is quicker to re-roll a character under 80 than to take that character to 85.
That is ****** up. Completely ****** up.
I would really like to ask whoever deals with communication between players and the company the following question.
Why was this done? Why do you think this is a good idea?
You all will be happy to know that this is NOT the case, as we just accomplished this after todays maintenance.
Thanks a lot guys, you got me all scared at work, my 66 chars would be in a bad mood if this was the case, I level 2 chars to 36 last night but fell asleep, before 40.
Good to hear it still works. By the way, there's this place south of Dion for 40+s..Tanor canyon or something. Get a level every 30mins MAX aoeing there. Got 4 levels in an hour there on paladin one-shotting everything with AOE
oorr just go cruma tower 2nd floor and get
35k solo each mob without mentor exp ++ with mentor that's 70k a mob. take out your pole and whack the **** out of them. 1 lvl in 10 minutes +lv46 recommended.
