Belts being gone and their slots' allocation

[Absurdity]

Respectfully, people like you are holding the game back. It's a ring. Something you really don't see unless you zoom in extremely close. You won't see it unless you're actively looking for it.

What you are doing is holding back the game for something less than probably 1% of the player base care about.

My question would be, why do any of the slots have to go in the first place? Why does the playerbase have to give up things they've had since the start because the dev team didn't future proof their game? It isn't players that are holding this game back, it is the game's own damn engine, the foundation it was built on.


And don't tell me they're removing belts because they're not visible on your character anyway. Sure they aren't visible, but that has been the case for what, 7 years now? They're only going away because it's the only way they can expand our character's inventory, because the engine is barely holding together. It's the same reason why we can't have infinite glamour-dresser slots, adding more always brings this game close to imploding.

I wonder if the crafters/gatherers would flip if they cut half of the off-hand slots to add somewhere else. Uh, PLD uses it too but I mean... how many shields you'd need?
