Thank you Camate!
One of the reasons I'm being so vocal about this issue (I can't speak for everyone of course) is because it isn't finalized. I don't want this idea to get anywhere near the finalization stage. ><;

I dunno why you'd even consider the idea, let alone why you'd tell us you're considering the idea.
Making weapons that were always supposed to be top-tier useless and thus taking months to make useless in comparison to weapons that take hours (or seconds via the AH) to get is a good way to kill the game your developing. Fair enough if we're talking level 85 (unfinished) top tier weapons, but we're referring to Lv.99/Afterglow weapons here.
Camate, you're all right.
As the community rep, I hope you are able to adequately convey the sentiment of the masses. And I hope that Matsui delivers.
Feeling sorry for the community team that has to delete all them profanity laden I am quitting posts.
I don't like Matsui's response.
The idea is bad and more importantly the way things are worded seem to show that a concrete plan is not even there. This, above everything else is not acceptable from your part. You can't just throw things at us and think about consequences later.
If this does go down in a bad way It'll end up killing the game the same way Sony killed SWG by changing the entire class system without even mentioning to the playerbase that they were doing it.
I never saw an MMO die so fast like that one.
