No more AM issue.

I don't agree with this mentality, obviously, because I'm looking for more relevant diversity for this game. The game is getting bland. My issue is that from an efficiency stand point and a math crunching stand point, this idea makes sense and basically is what the dev's turned the game into already. It's lazy and shows less emphasis on preserving what is good about the game vs changing it so that you can say that the game has been updated recently. 'Look guys! Updates! Aren't you happy? We fiddled with some stuff.' I don't think that all the work that has been done post aby is bad, I just think it really could have been better if they had better direction and possibly listened to their fan base more.

I personally love my merit WSs. Don't get me wrong. I would cry if they took my Requiescat, Ruinator, or Stardiver. I think they are really good WSs. But I do think that other WSs look terrible vs them and there are a lot of reasons for it and a lot of good that could be done to rectify it by preserving old parts of the game.

I'm not generally punitive about my suggestions because I think everyone is hurt by almost any nerf unless they are necessary just because it makes people upset and not want to play anymore. I don't particularly believe in taking something without giving something back in return because it makes people quit. I'm very against Ragnarok/Resolution because I think it is broken+good and marginalizes every other weapon in the game. But I don't think you should just screw everyone over that made a Ragnarok. IMHO they should make mobs that don't get clobbered by Resolution spam. It should still be good, just like a lot of the better WSs right now, but they should really spruce up some of the weaker WS, especially ones that are attached to prestige weapons, so that they can also have uses and have mobs that are much better dealt with by other WSs.

I really doubt people are going to complain about almost any Relic WS being changed because they already added +40% more damage on superior damage weapons and people still only use 2 of them.

Mythic WSs are a grab bag of treasure and trash, but at least no matter what, you can build a Mythic and get AM3 and then Merit WSs things faces off. Only a couple of Mythics are truly exceptional, but the majority are usable. The idea that any of them are not at least good is still viciously offensive for anyone since they cost so much, and honestly I would still only recommend thinking about building mythics if you are particularly die hard about your job. Besides DRG, there are almost always alternatives that are relatively close in potency and significantly cheaper. Since you can quest the WSs for them and they are job specific, you would really think that the dev team would focus more of their time on revitalizing them and giving every job something special or interesting for them to use, since only that job can use that particular WS. It makes it easy to give a job something nice without risking that X job uses it and it's super broken in their hands.

I won't comment on Empy's only because I'm sure we all have a similar opinion on Empy WSs since we are all so very aware of them because of the shear number of users. I'm sure everyone is very aware of how good some are and how lack luster others are.
