Yeah ok sorry, sheesh.

Just forget I said anything. If that sort of thing improves the game for you, so it is.

Your suggestion has nothing to do with the economy unless most players want to participate in it, and even then the impact is pretty minimal compared to a ton of other things Intrepid could do.

It would have a lot to do with 'how people see and play the game and choose to interact with it'.

I've noticed that games with less players tend to have worse economies, I'd bet on 'Full Loot PvP' areas, even if mostly ignored, would lead to this game having less players. On the other hand, if you managed to make a bunch of people who normally like Economy games not want to play an MMO with full loot areas because of the type of player it attracts...

I guess there would be less crafters maybe, and that would reduce the gear gluts on the market.

Just two more days until G-Star... whew...

Nope, sorry, as you know, by disagreeing with this premise you have now officially become a CareBear.

I will send you your Membership Card and a free brush later.

Wait, now that I think about it, WE SHOULD DO IT! All the literal psychos that want this kind of content will just go constantly die on some random island in the middle of nowhere, while everyone else can just enjoy they game normally.

I hope you're being sarcastic, but if somehow not, I can tell you that this ain't what actually happens...

Nah, I'm just joking. Attracting wrong people from either extreme ends of the pvx spectrum would be really bad for the game.

Oh, so it was actually one of those faux consequence games where no one actually ever just 'kept losing', then?

What did they do to help the bottom half of the playerbase keep up?

Oh, that's my bad, I was thinking too much in terms of things like data and statistics again and ignored the very obvious possibility that all the people who report being in lower percentiles and such are actually just lying in order to get an advantage over all the hardworking people who have the equitable experiences.

They really are crazy with their 'I want to win too!' and 'Can't I just get a fair chance?' and all that stuff, when they should just work harder than... all the other people saying that, to try to enjoy the game for what it is.

Got too into the data there, I guess. Good catch.

I'd just like to say that I'm really thankful that you're on the forums as such an upstanding and outspoken representative of this demographic.

I have sometimes felt in the past that it might be hard to convince people that there were players out there like you, or that such players would have interest in Ashes or want to contribute on such a level to its potential direction.

But you prove time and time again that you are not going to back down, and will consistently express these concepts without concern for what others may think of you. I can only hope that Intrepid looks at the things you say, and how you say them, and make the right decisions for this game based on that.

Anyways I'd like to highlight the critical part of your post, so everyone remembers the methodology.

"Either make more allies until you can figure out a way to win, or run away ."

Well, except all those kids that got bullied, but those were all probably just...

Well, you know.

The point is that you dust yourself off or wash the toilet-water out of your hair, go make friends with the right people, and handle your situation, right?

Have you ever stopped to think that they were nice and funny to you just because you were "evil" too?
