Thread: Uber loot what no, you didn't say! A mind set that destroys the game(for now I hope)

Repeat business on elite weapons (money makers such as T-21s) will dry up. Why would a toon settle for anything less than an uber T-21? They can grind away with no fear of decay using the one weapon. This would not bother me as much since the need for multiple weapons is coming, but there are the multiple kit holders. While this may cause a rough time in sales, the impact of the new elite of players owning many kits will become more evident to the game as a whole. Looted weapons already have taken a toll,and those weapons will be very much sought after. Easier to get when you already have an ADK weapon to camp the loot droppers. This causes a bigger disparity between the newer players and poor classes in game play.
I would have not minded these kits if they were a no-drop/no-trade item - especially with the upcoming changes.
Well multiple kit holders should be a good thing for you, they had to buy those kits from people that will never have those kits again so they will have to buy weapoans as they will never have the kits. They are 1 per account meaning once you claim that reward you will not get another on another toonso will have to content with decayin weapons any any other toons you may have.

People selling these are non combat types, entertainers, crafters, medics, they never did buy weapons in the first place.

I think you guys are stripping the issue down to ADKs just a little to much. ADKs capped the issue for sure but are not the beginning cause just the item that pushed it over the edge.
Here is my original post made back in May of 2004, although I did come on a little strong, like I said, not a lot of people believed me back then about the rare/exceptional drops increasing etc, but a few were with me... First Loot Post
