I don't see how adding additional options would be, at all, harmful. Last I checked... the vast majority of Maple is not funded. The gap between the rich the poor is currently a gaping chasm, to which many would want to fill- even if it were by an inch or two. In addition, you must consider that many player's gear consist of nontradable gear from the get-go (be it Empress, Tyrant, Root Abyss, Sengoku... the list goes on). While I do not deny that players with tradable gear might not be interested in switching over to the new system of additional options, it wouldn't be crippling if they chose not to. From what I've gathered... the boosts listed from KMSers' experiences... the most these boosts would provide is something in the ballpark of 3% mainstat/ 1-7 attack. You wouldn't lose much if you stuck with your gear un-ao'd; it'd be as if nothing happened (or, what we have currently, anyways). And by the way, we do not live in a perfect world. There will be those who choose not to partake, this system is not by any mean 'perfect'. What I'm trying to convey is that additional options would help to combat the buffed bosses. If anything, if players who didn't want to utilize the system, why not party up with someone who did?
The point is that it isnt a perfect would and even if it was it doesnt work like that.
The point is that people who are funded will still use this system, many wont, some unfunded wont and some will. This does not change the gap. It simply adds restrictions. Unfunded and funded alike are affected.
I dont think that a system is good if a large amount of the population is held down by it rather than lifted up because it makes things untradable.
Zerard Wrote:Not at all. Even if my friends had some pieces of gear that they didn't want to restrict, I know surely that have some untradables. And even if they didn't, like I said above, there is always the possibility of finding someone who did, if it really bothers you. I myself am equipped with full empress, along with other untradable gear. I can understand now, how I could have been narrow-minded, and you opened my eyes to that. However, if you state one side of the argument (such as not wanting to otp-in into the system), and feeling that it's unfair, you must also consider the people who have nontradable gear. How would it be any more fair them without the system, than it would be to those with tradable gear with the system? Would that not, on the same token, be considered 'unfair' or 'selfish'?I dont understand where you're going with this, but ill say this. People who wear untradeable equipment or PSoKable equipment are generally people who willingly chose to get the best possible equipment for themselves with the possibility that they want to fully gear another character without the same equipment or have the NX to switch over PSoKable equipment a lot. People with tradeable equipment lack the full strength of someone who uses certain PSoKable in favor of being able to freely move it between multiple characters. This destroys that entire element unless that want the gap to widen between them, and PSoKable equipment is affected as well.
Zerard Wrote:Again. This would not be forced on anyone. No money required.What good is a system a large amount of people, unfunded and funded alike are not keen on using in the first place? It isnt like a town. It would be extremely hard for anyone to sway aside from it and enjoy isolating themselves from it.
