What I'm reading in this thread is this:

75% Static, no synergy
25% Karbuncle still not changing anyone's minds.
100% pchan still being retarded.

And hey Karb, justifying a random system using the more or less static augments from sky/synergy gear is kind of silly. You know with very high certainty what kinds of augments you're going to get when you pick your tatters.

You even said it yourself many pages back that (paraphrasing) Random Pool augments = horror stories.
