I wasn't saying that god items were time release.??I was showing you essentially what teOx said, "that god items LOOK like time release on paper.??In practice they aren't time release."??On your first post you expected all the vet players to wholeheartedly oppose changing/nerfing/removing/etc the god items.??You felt that you've never gotten a real reason behind such beliefs either.??I think it's that once you've gotten enough experience playing this game you begin to see just how difficult god items are to obtain.??When I first heard about the god items I thought meginjard was a bit ridiculous.??It wasn't until I saw one in action that I realized it's not a big deal.??There is a difference in damage from 4 str to 40 str acc but it's not a game breaking difference for one to exist. On top of that it took so much work to make one that it was obviously not going to flood the server. When megs become a common item such as on a HR server they can cause problems. However when any item is flooded onto a server through donation it disrupts the game balance. This is something we can see even on this server with OCA. While it's not mainly obtained through donation it is obtained at a comparable rate as a donation item on a HR server. We have seen the negative effects of this in the economy already.

You said that double meg is what you're truly worried about.??What you don't seem to see yet is that double meg will NEVER happen.??There won't even be two megs on the server much less all in one guild. Don't fret over things which will never happen. And if by some freak chance one guild gets a hold of two megs then don't worry about it. It's not unbeatable.

I appreciate that you are taking our points into consideration and I applaud your concern for the server. The main issue I see here boils down to is megs or isn't megs balanced within the WoE dynamic.??Every practical application of the item I have seen shows it to be very well balanced.
