Item Levels

[Kojo]

It's not going to happen they've already put that gear in the wild. It already broke what could've been when they created item scaling. Unless they give layers free unlocks to match the scaling they already have people are going to be extremely upset either way.

Right now the only thing we can hope for is a complete 180 in the decision making process. If there is anyone who supports scaling in marits speak up otherwise the developers will continue done this distructive item based scaling that further degrades the will to play.

It is destructive.

1. Creates a class system that separates the player base.

2. Creates more content to fill the already limited storage.

3. Forces players to utilize only the current expansion for main growth.

4. All gear content becomes fodder each passing update as its obsoleted in favor of replacements.

5. It's not motivating. Growth is one directional you need to get a specific set or sets of gear to scale up.

I used to be able to mix and match sets from all content. I could generally do well with anything that had good stats. Now we're tied into specific gear sets as a requirement. There is no longer a sense of individuality or personal taste. If you want to get stronger oder content isn't even an option and should just be stored to collect DUST.

I'm not motivated to upgrade because in a few months I'll need to start over to upgrade another exotic item just so it can get outdated (OBLITERATED) again. At least with a merit based scaling I know that the work I invest in my character will remain there no matter what gear I wear. If this was the direction the developers took people won't be all restricted to new content.


The biggest issue is the player opinions of players who cancel instead of speaking up.

SE look at your subscription numbers, if the numbers are dropping FAST it's because of the design choices are failing. Please listen and make the game better. Addictive game play will always win over a frustrating world full of boring endless throw away content. If the merit system was the place scaling was sent to then players across the board would benefit in a positive way.

I know it's very unlikely, but I don't think it's impossible and at this point, I don't think it could hurt much.

Also, the fact that you can fall 6-10 levels or more by taking off a weapon you got in a day and putting on one that took months, or years for some, doesn't sit well with me.
