I came into the latest expansion of AO thinking my old gear would be outdated right out the gate. After considering the upgrader system i see why it wouldn't be likely because of new players and the gear gap that would cause. When I reached level 60, I figured 'of course any one piece of astral gear will outdate my myth gear.' Again this was not the case?? So to get effective gear I figured I'd go farm the rep quest in Umoir, because most of the people I inspected had this gear and i just figured 'Of course thiiiisssss gear is better than my current myth so without testing (call me an idiot, I do) i just tossed all my old myth to vendors to help pay for an earring or something along with the entire set I just purchased(also i considered the bag space required for rep gear/astral/former myth gear(also rep gear has multiple stats)). Now, after talking with a palladin friend of mine and discussing stats, I've realized that the Myth gear may have been better as it gives him 180k more hp, and in some cases, 100%+ more damage. Simply. WHY DOESN'T THE NEW GEAR OUT WEIGH THE OLD GEAR IN EVERYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! or if someone could maybe explain why the rep gear is actually better, that would be dandy =)

Well it seems to me that we're going to be in rep/crafted gear for weeks, maybe even months will we have the first tier of just blue gear updated and this is the part that just blows my mind. If the intention was to only have one tier, that being the astral blues, then this makes perfect sense. but knowing AO it will prolly go up another couple tiers, and ironically slowing down the sytem of upgrading will only hurt new players way more in about 2 months from now. The entire upgrading system seems like to much now. I need gold more than anythng, and i usually never go virtually broke in an mmo XD I went to amalgam and got 100 pieces of 'enriched amalgam solution', which sounds awesome but its not. it does 20% better than regular amalgam, but the catch is it takes the 100 pieces+4 amalgam to make one enrihed amalgam!!!!!!! I mean I guess its better on the gold requirements for the Anvil now but 20%......you could be horrible at math to see that 20% compared to 4 other amalgam is crapppppppp. Come on Devs, the stat system is amazing, the gameplay unique, but make the game not require 40 hours aof playtime a week even if you pay n play.

ANNDDDD DEMLOCKKKKKKKK i made an imp to talk to you a while ago and everytime i get on your offline!!!! this is madness!!!! idk if you even remember me lol

oh and Rekenber, crafted gear is the best. Save gold/buy gold and youll have best gear in game with about 40-60k
