(or a little over 40 hr/week, to put it in job terms.)



I am able to get easy and quick merits from Hami Runs, usually can get two in, sometimes 3 every other day. So far, I seem to average about 3 hours a day (hour per toon, which is about usual overall playtime I get in anyway) So that is about 21 hours a week. I spent longer trying to get a set of purples or even longer trying to get one PvP drop So I will take my chances with H/V Merits, seems like my way to go.

I know everything isn't for eveything isn't for everyone, some people do things in their own way, I am just glad this game is giving the players more options.

So, yeah, you can avoid paying market prices by putting in 60 hours per PVP IO. Your definition of "impatient" and mine may differ a little.
If it takes 30 hours to get the PvP IO that I want, then to me that is better than spending over 2 billion or spending 30 hours in a PvP zone hoping I can get a drop.

To eaches own

Edit: I don't plan on going forever with 3 toons, just the first month so I can get the PvP IOs for my toon that I have longed for after that, I will probably just run my main the most and alt every now and again.

If only there were a way those ordinary fools could take advantage of high prices. Like if they could sell stuff, or something.
