A Simple Request from Thieves: An upgrade to Thief's Knife.

[CapriciousOne]

We get it. You just came in here to piss people off and start an argument. Good job. Major bonus points for slipping in the O-hat thing. That was genius. You will never win this argument, so congratulations on finding a place to forever argue and annoy. FYI, people like you who have no idea how Treasure Hunter work, and love to force their opinions on people are the reason that we have to use that piece of crap dagger, even in situations where its really not necessary.

On a funny side note, you should go to the war or sam forums and try telling them that your swapping out your Great Axe / Great Katana after every WS on war or sam to reset your TP, and see how long it takes people to start calling you names. Then explain to everyone that is just a little TP, and thiefs do it all the time, so whats the big deal?..... Bonus points for posting screen shots of peoples responses.

Well frank you just proved my earlier point you are going to see things how you going to see it no matter what I say to the contrary and that is ok I expect no less of people these days. I simply expressed my views on the issue and what I felt would be a better alternative to resolve what I felt was the real issue with Treasure Hunter, the overall randomness of procing to improve the effectiveness of the trait. The bottom line is whether it is a thief in 2011 or 1830 thief are always searching for a way to maximize their haul and I dont feel this is accurately reflected in the game.

Funny thing to me is that everybody here assumes they know exactly how Treasure Hunter works as if they are the ones who spent the man hours creating the formulas and implementations of it in the game to make these assertions which they didnt. Sure one can speculate based on numerical tabulations of drops of how it SEEMS to affect the drop rate but that isnt the same as saying "treasure hunter works by applying xyz to abc and dividing by 123 and round down" Again short of SE giving the true formula of this so we can see exactly where the trait comes into play and the degree it plays anything anybody say is just that SPECULATION. One cant even really confirm or deny the possibility that weather/day doesnt have any effect on the Treasure Hunter job trait at all or any more than the day/weather against the elemental weakness of the mob itself, yet apparently you guys know best despite none of you work at, with, or for SE?

Another thing you fail to noticed is I NEVER SAID YOU HAVE TO USE IT ESPECIALLY WHEN I DONT EVEN USE IT MYSELF. I merely gave suggestion on if you insist on or are insisted to use it by your party some possible solutions to help deal with the tp loss but ultimate to JUST ACCEPT the fact you will lose tp anyway you cut it. Simply saying you pick one or the other, damage or drop, as it is now until SE does something about and pretty much STFU about it. That was all I was saying and giving my explanation of why I feel that way. It not the best solution to the problem but for not is pretty much the only solution if one must use it.

It isnt my fault you people act like a bunch of brats because somebody opinion may seem so far fetch to you and you decide to act like jackasses getting all "offended" and bs over a GAME and my opinion of a particular aspect of the game that hardly seems a real issue to be whining about anyway. Simply put if you want maximum spoils as it is today you solo and deal with the damage loss and keep the damn knife equipped. If you afraid you'll get owned because you not skilled enough to get the job done with that much of a reduction in damage then ditch the fucking knife. IT REALLY IS THAT DAMN SIMPLE.

Oh and just because you have a few 100 morons nodding "uh huh ok" doesnt make what is being said right. I have always believed in this one quote and it has always held true from my experience:

"WHAT IS POPULAR IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, WHAT IS RIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS POPULAR" you all might be wise to remember that, but somehow I doubt it.
