though he did not say they will be weaker outright he did say: "The stats after the revamp will make it so they can be an option among the other powerful weapons."
basically saying they will either be as good as or weaker. Knowing how people are when it comes to the time and effort some have put into those, knowing they will only compare to weapons that dont take a fraction of the effort...it wont flow over very well.
He didn't say they would be as good or weaker. He said that the weapons' special properties (be it aftermath or weapon-specific benefit) would be taken into account to balance the damage and delay of the upgraded RME weapons.
Exactly, they wont be weaker, they will be better than SoA weapons, just not in base DMG ratings, which are only part of why RMEs are great. The fact is, saying they will be weaker is very likely, wrong. You would have to make RMEs have a considerably weaker DMG rating before the DMG would low enough that RMEs would really come close to being weaker than Delve weapons. Going by their old examples, that wont be the case, and RMEs will be the top, but Delve weapons will be close enough behind that the exclusionary issues of the community should not be as bad as pre-SoA in my opinion, it will just be RMED, an upgrade from the current Delve or GTFO issue.
After the mass RMT ban, the game declined during that year! The game has no value if it has no potential to pay for itself, plain and simple! That is why games like EQ and WoW have flourished while FFXI hit the toilet as fast as it did! See what happens when you put incredibly stupid people in charge of a company?

And you wonder why so many people complain how the game goes downhill! If FFXI was free to play, there wouldnt be so much complaining! The game is worth nothing if it has no potential to pay for itself! This is simple common sense! Duh!

If SE would write a script that prevented botting and tolerated RMTing, the game would regain alot to most of its value again and would gain alot more people to play it and alot of players that left to return to it! It was the botters that you were mad at, not all RMTs. RMTing should be tolerated as long as its done legitimately (aka actually playing the game) rather than letting the machine do it for you! If you have to use a bot, whats the point in playing the game to begin with? Thats my opinion with use of common sense!
LMAO most of the people I know in game are in their late 20s to early 40s and pay for this game with hard earned cash. WTF are you talking about? I can't remember the last time I met someone in game that wasn't employed and paying out of their own pocket. Unless you're counting housewives as spoiled princesses, I have no idea where you get this crap from.

Im saying the game has no value if it has no potential to pay for itself! If you fork over your hard-earned money to people that really dont care about their customers and only act like they do, then something is wrong with your brain! Just saying!
