That's why the DT GM hosted event was created, since the "gank event" doesn't really favour small factions and what not..
and the DT GM hosted event make's it very easy to get from your faction, might have to wait a bit, but can still get it, 3 neck every 2 weeks isn't that bad, and you don't have to be in a gank fest or part of a big faction to do take part either. If your faction leader isn't distributing those necks in a fair way, then i suggest get into a diff. faction >.>
besides,, there's alot of players selling those necks nowadays, i always see people selling DT necks on WC now.. so buying the neck with EC isn't a problem now. If you're willing to get the neck through cogs/ warsouls / wristbands and what not, then it doesn't really make any difference than the way it is now. Can just farm those mats now, sell em for EC, and buy the necks with EC.
as for .. the difference in stats between the cube neck and DT neck.... that's precisely how they were meant to be, to give players two different options.. Go all out with OP damage but paper defence, OR, take a more balanced approach.
anyways.. DT neck isn't over priced now, if you compare it to how it used to be lol.. i sold my neck for 10k ec 2 months ago.. nowadays they got for like 6k or less, and the price will only go down..
