No Cord of the Rings today?

[Nonde]

We are aware of the community's feedback on this change, but at this time we have no plans to add these accelerators back to Skirmishes. The ability of players to farm these accelerators with essentially no time or effort forced this change. We will be looking at ways to make sure there are plenty of in-game opportunities to earn these accelerators, but we did have to make this decision for the long-term health of that particular item.

There are players below level cap + many at cap who don't grind instances for marks . . . test how long it takes to earn 25 medallions and 250 marks on a sub lvl 100 char and on a post 100 char who doesn't grind instances. It is obvious to players and I'm sure to you as well that the purpose of removing them is to push store sales as if ease of earning accelerators were the actual issue SSG would nerf/remove marks from the allegedly "no time or effort" instances. SSG would also have considered the entire player base by testing as above to see if they were in fact easy to earn for the majority of players but per usual SSG designs for the hard core minority/whales and throws the rest of us under the bus.

You were set the impossible task of trying to spin this obvious store grab - wouldn't have your job for quids - but ''The rep accelerators made us do it as lest their health suffer!' is rather a stretch, albeit a creative one!
