I know what Cookie Cutter means, the important thing was context. In the context you bring up, I think it's silly to be upset over it. If X gear is the best, I'm going to wear X. If other people wear X too, so what? Good for them, I say. That's always going to happen, no matter what.

What makes you say that "cookie cutting" isn't optimal, though? Why would people wear a set en masse if it was not optimal? Are you referring to the spread of misinformation? If so, I'm against that too! Hell, it's the vast majority of why I post on these forums. You should see the things people come up with.

However, if you were to give everyone all of the knowledge about the game in existence, along with the ability to GM any gear they want out of thin air, people are going to end up wearing the same thing 95% of the time.

because cookie cutter is usually optimal within reason. For example, a good majority of people have totally skipped out on augmenting abj gear due to the retarded random stats, even tho for a good amount of cases these are the optimal choices. you bring up good points on misinformation as well but main point i was stating was this. as cookie cutter is usually reference to "basic" gear that players wear.

I opted out of that crap because I am against random stats as well, and I refuse to give SE a reason to put that shit on more gear. Nobody wants to be cookie cutter, but by placing these merit caps, they are basically saying that you can only be really good at 3 of 20 jobs (depending on the WS), unless you go build a relic or something. That's pretty harsh. Bear in mind that I'm saying this as a person who probably won't run into that limitation as much as many others will. I'm for the good of the player base. I don't want to be doing Nyzul PUG with a bunch of crappy DDs who have no WS (just and example). I also don't wanna have to filter people out based on that.

That thread is near unreadable... do people understand the concept of cutting down quotes to only contain relevant parts and cutting them into pieces when responding to multiple parts?
