One million limit points for a sidegrade? What is the Dev Team's logic behind this?

[Aldersyde]

That's a different issue though. The OP was bellyaching about the number of limit points required, not the strength of the weapon skills.

How do the weapon skills you get in the mid 60s and 70s stack against the low 60s skills?

Exactly what do people want? That's what I don't understand. Posts here are always long on complaints, short on solutions. If the new WS were equal to Empyrean/Relic/Mythic WS, that wouldn't be fair to the holders of those weapons who put in a lot more effort into getting them than it takes to get these new weapon skills.

If they were equal to mid-level weapon skills, the complaints would be the same.

So what do you want from the devs? And has anyone tried asking nicely instead of the usual tactic of throwing mean spirited temper tantrums?

Are you sure you've been reading all the threads talking about the new ws and reading them well? No one is asking for them to be top-tiered ws (well, except where the relic/mythic/empyrean is just balls, like axe), we're asking for some measure of progression when compared to ws that were obtained in 50-60 level.

Lots of posters ask calmly and politely for explanations. The Devs address the posts they want to address whether it's furious indignation or gentle prodding.

What I want from the devs is PROGRESSION, not this sidegrade nonsense which was evident a level cap before the maximum limit. The abilities, adjustments, and weapon skills accompanying this update should have been mind-blowing...not ho-hum bullshit.

I also want a little excitement when it comes to updates. I've been playing this game for 8+ years and update days used to feel like Christmas. I'm just not feeling it this update and I didn't feel it last update either. My files are all downloaded and yet I'm not online yet because I'd rather transcribe historical documents for work rather than deal with the overcrowding on mobs and the limit break bc. It'll be there this weekend...next week...whenever. A year ago I would have been all over logging on lickity-split on update day, now its meh.

That's not the feeling you should want to cultivate in a paying player base.
