Funny thing, not as many people in Ygg really care about Ymir's items as you think.
There's gonna be a problem of something being overabundant if a merge happens, whether it's botted goods or rares from an old server. Deleting items is a horrible idea that leads to people quitting. You know that I hope.
What's the problem with giving lower-tier players a chance to get higher-tier items, huh? In case you didn't realize, a lot of the MVPs that are worth-while are permanently camped by better-geared players pulling out more DPS than you ever will. Should someone just say "well I'll try to join them for profit", or "well I can't compete. guess I'll never get to hunt it"?
You don't GET it. It's not ME that you need to convince, of course I want to keep my stuff.
It's the GMs that need convincing. There are a lot of practical business reasons as to why Ymir sucks for them that sucks for us. I'm sure other game devs would be looking at RO and shaking their heads sadly, crying inside a little for the future of the game.
Sucks for us. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.
edit: some background on me ... I joined the ~serious~ scene long after everyone else. I never had as good gear, I never had mvp cards, I never had god items. I battled from the bottom to catch up with them. Eventually I did.
Anyone can do it, so long as the items are over saturated. Anything a newbie can use, an older player can use 10x more.
