I agree with Nines idea.
It's annoying actually that people keep saying "what about the new players!" Where have they been left out? Oh wait, they're pretty much the focus of this server now. Does that mean the rest of the server should be neglected and cast aside? No. The strive should always be to improve on the server in a way that benefits the server as a whole.
Now, the set is a great idea. I'm personally not afraid of going beyond what is currently available because I think there should always be something better to work for. Instead of having 10-20 of everything you need and more tokens then you know what to do with, why not have something better you actually work for? The latest stuff released ends up being pretty cheap or just a prettier version of something that already exsists. But, it's just stuff you buy. What are you gonna do with all these fancy new items if pvp is dead? Oh, sit in town with your pretty new items and do nothing.
