RE: WoE Changes Official Poll 2017
I agree with minnt post.
If i can read, in the poll there isnt the option "Keep 1 trans woe, 1 retro woe, both at sunday", so i voted the second personal best option.
In the past i wasnt good enough, experienced enough, to woe properly with the "basic best gears", and there were mvps allowed, so i kept away from woe; now i dont woe because im still noob because i have many exceptional gears that i cant use in woe.
In this game, in RO, PVPers do pvp to brag others about how big their manly equipment is; main goal of woe is conquering castles to get castle's chests and make god items, which will then be used to be stronger in pvp and brag even better about how big our manly equipment is.
Okay that god items are the best items in pvm, but if i cant use them to brag in pvp and woe, i lose motivation to spend time and resources to go woe.
RO is a game of progression, of becoming stronger, of becoming richer, of becoming more experienced.
And i want to progress, i want to strenghten myself, i want to enrich myself.
But now that i could woe better than the myself of the past, i wont woe at all because the progression and the enrichment is too little, to my eyes.
Banning mvp/gods from woe brought us basically all at the same level, and being all balanced individually (assuming player's skills are experienced enough) the discussion will fall down to basically "whichever side has way more soldiers than the other."
And being at the same level isnt fun: is a struggle.
I did train myself to some martial arts and combat styles, and there is absolutely one thing that you want to avoid, and its being balanced with your opponent/enemy:
You dont want balance, you want to be superior to your opponent or you will lose (probably your life if thats on the stake).
WoE is exactly that. its not a game where everyone is balanced, is a game where you have to find a way to be superior to who opposes you, put that to be sheer numbers and/or gears.
Not being able to use my gtb in woe brought me to delete my retro Blacksmith; one f*****g sage and im rendered completely useless. Perma dispelled. The time and the resourced spent to rebuff a blacksmith to return to a condition of "utility" is long enough to receive another Dispel. And this is only one example.
Also instead of the BS i made a Knight for retro, which i never yet used it because i cant find the motivation to waste time and resourced into a dead-end as woe is, which i named "Roger has no fun in woe".
I want to use my mvp/godly stuff in pvp/woe because the original game is built and balanced with them present.
I want to destroy other players who are militarily inferior, and i'll accept to be destroyed when caught offguard or with wrong reactions or gear swappings.
Until this changes, and you kill me for example with a high wizard, i can and i will always say: " Eh but in a real fight i would have swapped on GTB so this fight means nothing, and cut your boasting already."
PS: 1 trans woe, 1 retro woe, and one extra trans woe where mvps and god items are allowed like the original woe /heh xD
PPS: but in the end anyway we all know already that either way we do, the players who quit and have the good stuff will return, amass into a single guild, cut all the competitions, other competitors will be pissed off and "f*** this ship" and stop woeing, with no competition the players returned will quit again, welcome back to starting point.
TL;DR i heard one time a legend or a myth about Pandora's Quest for godly items... lets make them through that ant not anymore from castles and pvp only.
