Strongholds Guild Equipment Requirements Bug Affecting Low-Level Gameplay

Strongholds introduced a bug that currently highly affects the low-level gameplay. Guild PVP equipment that is available with level 2 of the Stronghold Marketplace lacks a level requirement and since it also binds to account, you can freely supply your ALT characters with the pieces.

That means that you not only can use an epic mount starting at level 4, but also a full armor and jewelry set that gives you slightly over 37k HP and 10,000 stat points including up to 3,226 Tenacity without any enchantments. For PVE this makes the whole content obsolete, because currently you can just equip the Guild equipment, the Ensorcelled Arsenal and Inscribed Garments and don’t have to switch until 70.

While this is only a massive convenience upgrade, it gets annoying in PVP. Low-level players featuring 5k HP are facing immortal opponents with Armor, Weapon and Overload Enchantments. Some threads have already been opened and we expect this one to be fixed rather soon. Considering that the non-PVP Guild gear has a level requirement of 70, we tend to believe this is a bug and not a feature. Stay tuned.
