NI, is it worth the grind?

[Maroon]

In other words: do you think that a warden with tome and hurricane bow is equally useful on ragnarok as t4 archer with longbow and deployable shield and they both should be rewarded in the same way?

As long as they both throw in some effort, then yes, they should be rewarded equally. If the Warden dies at wave 4, for example, and the tier 4 proceeds to woop Nord ass with the Hurricane the Warden dropped, then why shouldn't he? It's not about level, or equipment, imo, but effort, and that is nearly impossible to reward with Warband's systems.
