After an ascension in Plains of War gem bonuses are not applied to to the loot. Earned values and "est" displayed the same amounts as it was before ascension. Monsters and heroes stats in decriptions looks affected by gem bonuses, but numbers at the game area (HP and damage) are not affected. All this only confusing.
@ChickenDelight: well, but players don't ask to remove PvP. Wanna callenge other players? DragonArcherZ is always for your service (for example). But without easily accessible PvE content game will be not interested for a large group of players (which may be your opponents & teammates in brawls; may donate and leveling up your guild and so on)
@DragonArcherZ: you are wrong. This isn't "PvP oriented game". This is "Multiplayer sequel to Legend of the Void". Only FrozenTorch may clearly say what this game is. But not you.
