Your end sentence is kind of stupid since I don't even have "über l33t gears" like Ele swords either. I could buy them, but I don't. I'm not that loaded like a lot of players and I always end up purchasing more cuteness over usefulness whenever I do get more money. I'm fine with whether or not monsters with valuable drops go in TIs or not, why do you think I suggested Zakudams or Ghost Morrocs eh? I have Diabolus Rings, I don't mind others having them. But majority of the players here are asking for them not to be put in, and they do have a point. If Ele Swords are so pro, don't you think it should at least retain its 100m value? Again, im fine either way, but you're just pretty much outnumbered here so you might as well sit down quietly and get over yourself.
im going to post a piece of a conversation i was having with another forum user because you just dont seem to get it:
'EXACTLY! The general attitude on these forums is to complain about every single positive thing that gravity does for us because it in noway benefits people that are already rich. Any possible positive thing gravity can do, will only effect their ability to blatantly rip other players off blind and therefor they dont want it. They also dont want players being able to get geared up and compete on an even level in places like WoE for fear that theyll lose their castles, places like ET for fear that theyll lose their zenymilking spot on their guilds raid list, and in pvp for fear that theyll actually have to learn how to play their classes because theyll no longer be able to 1 shot undergeared people.and then the people at warpportal get tired of the complaining and dont feel as inclined to help us. It really sucks. These 'rich kids' dont realize that all its doing is hindering the population growth and growth of this game. Warp portal has to keep finding new ways to make revenue because so many new players end up quitting and never spending any money on the game, so we end up with all of these ridiculous nerfs (they even admitted the stat reset was being taken out to generate profits)'Elemental sword isnt a pro level weapon. Yes it can be useful for RKs and Gens(def not the top choice weapon for either though), but with such low atk, this weapon is primarily used and meant for low level agi builds to level on (when having agi build is still good). the problem is that low levels do not have access to it. the sword is currently mostly only being used as a 'rich people having fun making a newbie that pwns' weapon to show off and speed level. Why shouldnt other people be allowed to have that kind of fun? 'this weapon should be for the privileged only'. lol gtfo here. were talking about a lvl 70-100 weapon here. not some uberleet lvl 100+ weapon you can use for mvping and pvp
As for elemental weapons, there arnt very many low lvl options (and after lvl 100 you usually only focus on using 1 weapon anyways). The blacksmith database is a complete joke now thats been in need of a serious overhaul for years. They provide us with few other options for elemental weapons (and not even available to all classes) or autocast at low lvls when its actually beneficial
Im tired of arguing about 1 stupid weapon. youve turned this into a much bigger argument at this point that im far too bored to get into. You obviously havnt spent much time playing other mmorpgs or you would think item hording is a complete joke. Rare items lose their value over time. They become less rare as more are farmed and their ownership becomes more common (and with such a small population of actual players in this game, im surprised prices dont fall even faster). If equipment was meant to be so special, then they would start making them bind-on-pickup or bind-on-identification.
1 weapon flooding into the market is not going to destabalize the economy, but it certainly seems to have destabilized alot of people in this thread. Watching everyone get so worked up has been pretty entertaining. Thanks for the luls
