#71146, "You're totally right."
Edited on Fri 06-Jul-18 07:16 AM

          

Thinking a game with a weekly multi-hour play time requirement is silly in 2018 is on par with the outfit command giving you strange bracers. We know only "hardcore" gamers play this game, the elite type that need to really pour out some blood sweat and tears to show their dedication. I'm impressed really.

And this is part of the problem is everyone looks at the extreme examples instead of just acknowledging that all of the unlimited gear in this game is awful and has a massive stat gap to the limited gear. If the only limited gear were things like the conjie books, defiance and strange bracers level stuff then it'd be fine but as it stands you're complete trash in a fully unlimited set with 50% of the stat boosts that a competently geared hero will have. Things like Seantryn Battle Helm, pretty mediocre overall, are highly limited items. Things like golden chain bracers are limited. I can think of exactly one piece of unlimited gear I try to keep on all my heroes and it comes from an area explore.

But if anyone points out how silly that is and how it makes people not want to play this game everyone comes out of the woodworks to defend it like it's a good thing. It's not, it's why this game is a niche game that no one has time for anymore. It's not because technology got better or because other games have better graphics it's because this game is a massive time sink where the investment of hours doesn't yield meaningful and lasting rewards. There's a happy compromise to be made somewhere if the people running the game were willing to make any kind of compromises. Can we at least acknowledge that auto-deletes don't need to exist in 2018 where a GB of harddrive space costs pennies? Can we acknowledge that unlimited gear needs to have +stat adjustments so you don't lose your weapon to the first -4 strength malediction you come across? It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
