Whats the difference between the players who join say 10 months down the line? they're still going to have to grind it out against players who have full gear ... regardless of whether there was a wipe or not. basically everyone who has gear right now is technically the higher tier of grind... they are at end game

the players who are not and then grind to get to "end game" will now have the same advantage... but what about the new players after that... and when those players get to "end game" what about the players after that? so on and so forth.

I dont get the real reasoning as stated above...

I believe the reasoning is: it was possible to reach level 20, and buy equipment instead of grinding, and then grind just for to craft amulets and runes, and now one have to spend resourses on armour and weapon anyway. But I agree, it isn't a real problem.

The issue is that right now, this has made the game very unbalanced and the fact that say a week ago you could simply buy this gear, makes it unfair on those who now have to grind for it. I can't explain any more clearly on the issues, and as for the new players, I have mentioned an idea of removing the 'level bracket' and placing people within games determined on their skill. The big issue here however, is that people have been able to 'P2W' and now have that 'P2W' gear, which others now have to grind and earn. If they weren't 'P2W' items, then they simply would of stayed in the store as cosmetics.

Hopefully this will help you to understand the point I am making.

As stated in the official stream yesterday.

You can still buy the gear, by buying the resources.

You simply go too FORGE -> Press an item you want -> Will automatically calculate how much crystals you need too pay, based on how much resources you have.

It's a start.

I am sure they will have plenty of other balancing stuff soon too come

"balancing" stuff...
