Yeah, my previous post was concerning levels 31-35, but I wrote 1-4 since that can be aplied on every 10 lvls (first 10 not included).
-----------------------
Now I'm in bizzare sitauation of: grinding slow in previous tier (officialy I am in tier4 BUT, really, still hanging in tier3).
Dissapointing.
Same situation with my other character (tier3 but can't handle any enemy since he cant equip nothing decent).
To be precise, I CANT find to buy ANY lvl 24 staff fot 2 days, since noone waste res on that crap.
Im trying out to compensate this forced handicap with mercs, but they're hard to find and too cheap to equip.
Instead of looking new gear for my char, I dig dirt for buying gear for mercs.
Again dissapointing.
And it also brings less xp.
------------------------
So, as far you dont moderate that rule, or either dont do some serious gear lvl balancing, advance in this game will just get more frustrating.
Everyone knows you just CANT use previous tier gear for higher tier dungeons. Adding more frustrating rules (like this one) doesnt help at all.
So, IF you try to get people more frustrated from being forced to comply to painfull and slow playing - you're doing well.
Having rule for every non-critical stuff - its killing joy for everyone.
--------------------------
In the end, please, just bear in mind. GAMES are made for having FUN. WE (players) participate because of FUN.
Complicating and forcing rules = less fun
Ignoring feedback on rules = no feedback in future.
And the result, when game is finally smothered with every stupid rure people can think of:
NO FUN - NO GAME.
Hope we don't get to that...
