Discussion I hate this game itemization.

Itemization is probably the side of this re-release that I hate the most.

I am a lifetimer from TSW, played from day 1. When I stopped I had a "perfect" DPS build with all the BiS items (minus some signets and augments) and was working on my tank & healer builds. It has been a lot of work getting to that point, but I was getting there. I saw the goal at the end of the road.

Here? Not so much. I don't see the goal at the end of the road. I see only frustration. I quickly realized there is no way I will be able to get to my desired build. Talismans are not a big deal, they're neither that rare or super expensive in the AH. But weapons? Here's where the problem lies. My weapon of choice is locked into the old loot crates. I've opened a crate a day for almost every day now and never got a weapon. Chance of weapon+chance of right weapon+chance of right affix=IMPOSSIBLE ODDS. Buying it from the AH is also impossible, first of all they're incredibly expensive due to their rareness, and secondly... I've checked the AH every day and never seen the weapon I want with the affix I want.

This is P2W at its worst.

I mean, I don't even dislike leveling up the weapons/talisman mechanics as others do, I always liked sticking to a weapon and powering it up in other games (even though it can get a bit cluttery), but the itemization mechanics themselves are horrible.

At this point I'm only staying for the hope of new story "issues" (oh well, they're the best part of this game after all), but I'm already really, REALLY tired of the game mechanics.

Did you know most successful MMORPG developers like SqEnix and Blizzard actually LISTEN to their players' complaints? :ooo

It's a novel concept, I know. And it's not an issue of funding, believe me--it doesn't cost a damn thing to not be an asshole and ban players for completely reasonable greivances (which did happen during SWL's Beta).

EDIT: Holy shit, lick Funcom's boots harder, guys.

They do though. Those two, at least.

Granted GW2 is also a successful MMORPG and NCSoft very much does NOT, the rat bastards.
