I've submitted the same solution on a post (Marketing CF from Naeshuk on game play forum) few weeks ago. What disapointed me most was there's been no reply from any of the Imms on an idea that could probably really help playerbase and make the game more enjoyable for old and new newbies.

I totally agree with a.,b.,c.,d.,e. and f. On solutions of previous post:

Other disadvantages of being stuck playing hidden classes is, because they don't see you, you have less interactions with players that could show you the fun of RPing and where to find things (gear & preps) that could help you. Another thing is having your ass kicked when you try a different 'cool class' is so discouraging. The possibilty to play different kind of classes is one of the things that makes the game nice. So basically it's not possible for newbie to do so. One point less for CF Marketing here.


>Dare I say it???? Level based gear and preps????


Why Imms are silent to discuss it? Would it be too much work (programming) to do? I know you guys are doing a lot of free work to keep this game up and it is much appreciated but I would really like to see your point of view on this idea.
