Feedback to SE regarding WOEpath empys / coin weapons.

[FaeQueenCory]

I can understand to some extent why this is bad, but at the same time, I understand why its actually better this way. It allows the WS to scale anywhere, whatever, for every player. If a player only has access to level 106 gear, well, they can use the WS, and have a 106 weapon, if the person is using a 119 weapon, same deal. If they made a direct upgrade it would have some sort of requirement probably which would make it harder for some people, when the point of the weapons is to make the WS more accessible. If anything, I would say its even better this way for another reason too, rather than making them, say, 113, and all the power that comes with level 113, you can use it with anything, if they did a flat out upgrade you would outgrow it eventually and be weakening yourself or using a weaker weapon just for the sake of the WS, this way, that's avoided.

BIU part: Um... isn't that how it always was?
The coin weapons are cute... they give you access to the EmpyWSs... but there just isn't a comparison between them and a full Empyrean piece.
They always were a heck of a lot easier to make IMO: 50 seals? pshaw! I got >400 of them just from leveling a couple jobs from 75-99 in worm/bird pts. I don't even want to think how many ppl who go 30-99 have... >_>
And seeing as how all empys are like their Relic and Mythic counterparts... +30% full WS dmg.... that's crazy. (especially when you throw in gorgets and belts... dear Lord... that +30% is the only thing I worry about having them back with.)

So I agree too, the coin weapons were never even meant for a second to be stand ins for an Empy....
They were always just neat little toys... much like the latent: relic WS weapons... a cute little plaything... a cookie to tide you over until dinner...

Even if iLvfication was ever considered... I seriously doubt we'd see anything greater than iLv100.
115? 113? 106? ridiculous. They were never even that good before iLvs.
(that "that" is marginally ambiguous... it refers to the previously stated numerals; it is not a ubiquitous "that" that belittles them to worthlessness.)

EDIT:

Yeah but magians are way easier to build, and cost a lot less too.

Are you're serious?
Yeah... maybe the +dmg and +Macc magian staves are easier...
I have an ArkaIII.
Arka. III.
I think there might be 4 other smns who have done that.
Because... Dear Lord....
The summon paths are probably the worst trials ever.
They've become a lot easier (ie more mobs that can be 1shot) thanks to the convocaller and dashavatara sachets... but by no means are the smn path magian trials less than your WoE paths.
If anything... I find the coin weapons a heck of a lot easier to build... Because all you have to do is deal with NM pop times and farming/buying some items.

TBH, I wouldn't have a problem if they had gone across the board and made all 99 magian weapons iLv100.
But don't think for a second that the WoE coin weapons aren't anything more than magian trial weapons that just let you use the empy WS.
