But here I am considered too light a spender to be competitive?
So what, should I just quit now?
The gear situation has turned the game into an auction for the arena/guild top spots. $100's won't do it, and even $1000 won't do it, unless there aren't people on your server/guild willing to pay more. They removed the soft cap on spending which existed before. The way I see it, I'm spending money now just as a character collector, and I'm not sweating it if I can no longer get top 2 in arena/guild. Because I'm forced to accept that I won't be as competitive, I'm not spending on gear at all. I'm only spending on character shards and getting everyone to gear VIII, which will cost much less than getting an arena team to gear X in this century. If I ever get a full arena squad to gear X, that will be a bonus, but I don't expect it to ever happen.
