It makes no sense to try to attract people by telling them, "Yes we have nice items to use, but unless you play many, many hours you won't be able to find them." There are plenty of other games one can play where loot hunting is actually a fun concept because the drop rates not a hindrance to the playerbase.

Remove the item restriction.

Then why not just make a vendor machine in every guild where they can order shit and then just go out and grind? :P FBB? 100 plats, Midnight plate 100 plats etc, ready to rock! :P

Playerfighting might be more balanced that way.

With the inception of imbuements there exists a way to differentiate between items/power through augmentation.

Why not allow this to be the way in which things differ.

Because some weapons are so insanely unbalanced that its silly :P

Should make NPCs with uber stuff harder to kill, if you cant kill those NPCs... dont use that gear or get a friend

As I said before, that just makes the difference between players even bigger.

And Merserau, you assume that it is only fun if you have great gear and that without it the game is a chore. What I was suggesting was that we lower the standard of what is great gear, a kestrel marked longsword should be considered a great sword while a abbasi a treasure to be valued and seen as winning the lottery. Using the elite items should be rare and feel special.

Quest items should be changed, the gem from the JBS could be given to all the weapons Gorgun wields or have him always wield the JBS and lower its quality.

I do think that some more preparation should be needed for enemies that can have special items, for example, the orc captain in Emerald you should have to build a ladder with some half-rotten wood found there and at least one other person to hold the ladder when you climb up, that same ladder would then break when you climb down making you have to wait/look for new wood. Or at the yeti you need someone to hold a rope for you to be able to leave. This forces even the biggest myths to team to kill these enemies.

A lot of other things could be made as well, Gorgun shouts for help from all the other orcs in the camp etc. Also there should be bigger risk of death even for myths.

Fist of all, I know legends that solo the Yeti, huge myths even easier. The deathrisk is small since most of the mobs holding stuff are sissies, gorgun is a damn wimp, Loran? Wimp, shadowelves? Well the weapon stealing is annoying but still, sissies

I mostly like the idea of "elite" gear being more rare, the amount of really good gear is kinda going out of control, especially when imbues comes into play, making all regular gear feel like Im fighting with wooden sticks.
I guess the long armas kinda help aswell... :roll:

Making things harder to kill will only benefit the myths++ as I see it..
