Still I am just saying the majority of TKs would be buying the mass produced kind which would be low in value. Though some may buy the knucklers with the best value, many would just buy the cheaper ones. The true pvpers would buy the uber ones though, but if they did not buy the best then it would make them obsolete in pvp forcing them to spend millions to be competitive. It would be just like the current system where people would be forced to spend millions to be competitive or spend millions on ADK's to keep their knucklers from dying. It would not be any more fair than it is now of people having to spend millions on a weapon to be competitive.

I think that having to spend millions to be competitive though is something that must be, otherwise you end up with a bunch of "uber" people running around. Adding a master TK weapon though only allows for people to buy a weapon that can be mass produced for about 200-300k for a decent one. This is a reasonable price for a GOOD weapon not an "uber" weapon. However again there is a problem. The amount a TK will spend significantly less than other combat professions would. Though some will buy the uber weapons, for the most part many won't/ can't leaving many other non-tk's feel as though they are being cheated because they have to buy weapons AND armor and spend significantly more.

In the system where a TK makes his/her own weapon using looted components or components made by wep smiths, it would be possible for someone to be competitive without spending millions, bringing more balance into the system. The smiths would again see business from the TK's and the complaints of having to buy a new weapon for 4 mill after the condition runs out are gone.

Although you make a good arguement for the making of a master tk weapon I still feel like adding one would do nothing but provide for a system where people will have to spend even more than they do now to be competitive, and those who do not wish to pvp but instead just want to pve, could spend about 200-300k on a DECENT knuckler instead of the best, and simply spend millions less than others do on their weapons + armor. The way the system is now, those who do not wish to be competitive pvp, can buy a weapon for a low price, however it is significantly more difficult to pve with and impossible to pvp with. This pushes them harder to buy a KK or NN or go and loot a NN to acheive more sucess, by pushing them to spend more, the system is balanced in spending.

If the weponsmiths made components, and components could be looted for TKs to make their own knucklers, people who did not want to spend millions to have a decent knuckler would not have to. Those who wanted the best knucklers would still have to spend millions to be the best, or put a lot of time in to looting to get the best. This would balance out the system much better than it is now, and would (again) bring weaponsmiths back into the life of a TK.

I want to spend millions to get the best damned knuckler possible...PLEASE something other than the stupid vibro knuckler though...yuck! You guys weren't glad to see those go? Stupidest looking weapon I thought....just about as bad as the blaster fist...looks like some wierd space age sippy cup that my son would use...
