Itemization Suggestion

[Rageincarnate]

<p>Red names /wave</p><p>I would be willing to bet that you could probably recruit 50 players that would happily do itemization for you for free and do it fair and correctly, without op'ing a class or breaking the game.</p><p>I have faith but i do know you guys are over worked.  It's obvious. /shrug  (theres no sense in going on here.)</p><p>Give us a shot.   Make a contest or something..  Make them submit sample items that fit current tiers.   Pick 5 winners.   The winners get to work on the loot.  They submit to you guys, you approve.  If one quits open the contest again. </p><p>Heck you could even call it a web based intern program ( something for the old resume) </p><p>You get what you want (less griping -- happier customers), we get what we want.</p><p>my 2 cents.</p>

<p>Your suggestion has merit.</p><p>Unfortunately, Sony will NEVER do something like that.</p>

<p>It works great in other games,just look at how valve's doing it with TF2.</p>

<p>Good idea, even if it was only to fix the low (iow everything but 90) level stuff. Not likely to happen tho... </p>

<p>i dunno .. i still have hope. </p><p>Seriously, we could do this with dev blessing of course.....  I personally would be flattered.  Even if it was level 10 drops.  Because i know i wouldn't find zerker/guardian only items with wisdom and + magic skills.</p><p>Instead of shaking my head, i could do something about it.</p><p>I realize i came off wrong like i "know" better then devs ( not my intent at all).  But that's my opinion and i'm not going to "pretty" it up.</p>

<p>You don't understand the contempt sony has for its players.  We're inferior and unable to 'grasp' the intricacies of their game.</p><p>This superiority complex with them is no different than a system admin and his users.</p><p>There is a reason they don't even want feedback from players until the design is locked and 99% complete.</p>

<p>I've only seen a couple of items so far from GU63, and what I've seen already says that SOE still hasn't learned.  One of the first items you can get is a helmet that's better than the easy-mode DoV raid helmet, minus the red slot adorn, a lackluster focus, and a bit of physical mitigation.  There are no red-slot adorns that can make up for the 39% haste and dps, and 19% spell weapon and dps that are on this overland-quest helmet.  Not to mention increased stamina and wisdom.  When is SOE going to stop making overland quest gear more powerful than raid gear?  *sigh*</p>

<p>I just hope that they can at LEAST come up with a plan for the item progression.  Something like this:</p><p><img src="http://www.eq2411.com/w/images/b/b9/Itemization.png" width="786" height="472" /></p><p>This is just something I threw together quick.  Don't read too much into where I have things lined up since I only spent about 2 seconds throwing it together.  This is just an example to show that there should be a PLAN on how the gear should line up in a progression.</p>
