    What about people who have a job that doesn't allow them to own a Ferrari, but they won enough money from like a game show or actually won the lotto. They go out and buy one just because they can now because of their winnings. It still doesn't mean that they can afford to own one once that money they won goes away. Because let's face it most people who win a huge amount of money don't go and do smart things with said money so that it will last longer at a minimum or actually make them more so that they can actually still afford to have that Ferrari.

    Back to the actual thread. Even though the we have no plans and wishy-washy bs they sometimes give us gets people's knickers in a twist; it at least is a response. I'm sure we all can easily find threads multi paged or not that haven't gotten any response even with various people asking for one. The no responses at times like we're just talking to a wall or the many voices in our head. Or maybe to a cat.

    You mean like someone that wins the Bonanza and complains that they can't afford the Scoria? I don't really see your point. There's things for people to spend a lot of time/money on to get a bit better of an item, and there's quick easy to get items that aren't much worse than those long term goal items. What's the issue, that not everyone has the patience for them?

    That's the part I'm not getting about arguing for easing mythic obtainment. People were justified in complaining when the REM fiasco happened. SE gave everyone extremely easy access to weapons that were 40% or more better then even Mythics. Now? Mythics are still the best in most cases but the gap is MUCH smaller then 40%. Why not have a piece of gear that shows your dedication for the job? Are (most) Mythics still good? Yes. But are they so good that you need them to perform or be allowed in events? No. They're desirable but not necessary.

    I think that's a pretty good balance to strike.

    My point is according to Afania if in RL you have a job that allows you to afford a Ferrari it equates to working harder than someone who's job doesn't allow them to afford one equates to them not working hard enough. So I brought up people who in RL who's normal job wouldn't allow them them to afford one, but win the lotto or like one past Jeopardy champion won like 3mil and he went and bought a Porsche. Because you know he could do that. Again most people don't normally do smart things with their winnings so that they run out of the money they won. So if they quit their job or didn't get a better paying job they won't be able to afford said car later on. Thus their car example is somewhat flawed.
