Thread: Petition for anti decay kits to be one use only

I guess I do not see how exactly this is game breaking or even a weapon smith specific issue.
The worst case scenario I see is that we dont sell leveling weapons, which are down anyways, like we do now.
This is an opportunity to focus on mnaking great weapons, as the incintive to buy a bettter weapon will be higher.
Can someone help me find what the 'bad' part of this is?
2 main points:
1) Legendary and Exceptional weapons will last forever.
2) You will never sell another enhanced weapon again. If it doesnt decay, then why would you have to buy another one?

I am not sure you are correct.
Hear me out. Legendary and exceptional were essentially going to last forever anyways do to the limited use of them by the owners.
Of course you will still sell enhanced weapons. The fact that you can DESTORY the weapon to get your kit back insures that there is more turnover of weapons. Also you are making the assumption that the owner will never changfe combat professions.
I feel the need to remind people that we will be in a bonanza soon as the CURB will create the need for all new weapons.

I have no problem with this vet reward, but think it should be one use only - non-transferrable and non-redeemable. Once installed, that's your lot.
I think that if it were a one shot itme then we WOULD have a problem. It would create a resistance to change that would make people feel that they could not change professions. The thought would be, I would love to change professions, but I can't because my flame thrower is UBER LEET!.
By allowing it to be multi use, you facilitate the change that will facilitate us selling more, AND you remove some higher weapons form the game at the same time!

I don't see how 1 weapon would stop you changing profession. Sure as hell wouldn't stop me. What will happen with this, is that it WILL mean that if you can change it from weapon to weapon, you will see a downturn in peeps buying many more crafted weapons. I would take it out of my pike, and stick it in my T21 - perhaps then I would stick it in my uber Stun Baton - trend here, is that you could use all these exceptional weapons over and over and over without fear of them ever breaking on you. Of course this will have an effect. I don't think it is something that is going to cripple the WS community, but it will be noticed.
Not quite, you have to destroy the weapon it is currently on to get it back, you can't just take it off.
But anyway.... /sign
