Ok, I'm going to, again, emphasize something. How, in any way, would any fix to the obvious problem with flame geodes be a negative impact to anyone?

Players who can't devote every waking second of their life to playing will have a realistic option to aim for, as far as good melee weapons. This means PUGs and Endgame Groups benefit from newer members being more likely to have better weapons, even if only slightly.

Goldsmiths benefit from a drop in the price of flame geodes, and an increase in quantity, and the change wouldn't suddenly cause the flame gem recipe to change. You'd still need high level GS to make it reliably. Sure, the sales price of flame gems may sink a bit, but the profit would probably either not change, or increase a bit, depending on your server and how derpy your crafters are.

Those with obscene levels of luck in obtaining flame geodes will continue to have said obscene levels of luck, if not more. It's not like any change is suddenly going to drop them to 1k a piece. The demand for them will still exceed breeze geodes, which sit comfortably around 20k, so even if they become more available, they'll still sell for ~30k+ depending on your server's general economy. Sure, you might make a bit less money farming geodes, but who honestly farms geodes for money, when there are other options that make better profit and result in less headache?

It's not like this is some sort of heavily complicated internal issue with the spaghetti code. There's no way they'd lose more than a couple of hours fixing it, and it's something the vast majority of the playerbase would approve of, or be indifferent towards. The minority against it, while vocal, are a very small minority, whose logic has yet to be made clear.

Again, I ask, why, exactly, are any you against this? How would it negatively impact you in any way? Your logic is simply not being conveyed, and your making yourself seem belligerent purely for the sake of belligerence.



On a side note, the hell is up with all these galkas from siren making themselves into asses in this thread? C'mon guys, you've gotta represent better.
