Lucky Golden Pig

Guy in my guild had this come to his mailbox.... o_O



What's the deal with the Lucky Golden Pig after you've stacked EotS marks past 100?

I have never seen that before. Ummm, was there an actual item called the Lucky Golden Pig? Or did the mail just come with that message?

What is the most important thing to you? Won't you grant me the pleasure of taking it away.

Looks like there was just a text mixup.

I think the more pressing concern is how did you manage to play so much EoTS (collecting over a 100 marks) without going insane? I know its quite a derail, but what a slow, boring zerg-fest battleground :p

TBH. I think it is a good BG but its too long (speed up point gaining abit) or/and the bonus honor for winning is all too low... if these where changed I think I would like it.

Yeah I got those for EoTS.

I personally like EoTS, because I've played more than enough of the other ones (Though AV is refreshing as my battlegroup pretty much stopped the 3+ hour alliance turtle games). It also doesn't have the minimal people with zerging out from the GY prevent a vastly superior force from taking the node like AB (paladin DS stalling while others spawn and cycle flag turning interupts). EoTS isn't that much longer than AB, and again has the feature of "This game will end in a fairly reliable amount of time" which WSG does not.

It also gives more honor than AB/WSG, but less than AV as they expected AV to take longer than the average game does these days.

AV is still the ultimate zerg map.

I got the exact same thing. I figured at first it was just more Gold Farming spam, but realized it was just more EotS tokens. I went in search of the NPC that sent the email, but did not find him.

Heh, got that too.

With an organized pre-made, you can roll an EotS in 8minutes making for some great honor farming, and while you can still 5 cap an AB faster, the Eye doesn't suffer from the ability of the other team sitting 15 people at the stables/farm and making the game take 3-5 times longer.

Of course, this was before they fucked BG queues (for Rampage anyway). Goodluck trying to queue with more than 5 people for any BG and not end up waiting more than 15-45 minutes for a single game. Better off getting your 400-800 honor in a 20 minute AV loss.

I got it too, and my first thought was that it was one of those scams where someone sends you a CoD with some crap item.
