I've seen a ton of posts about the new update and the selling of the infinite Ident/salvage kits being bad along with the reforged coin.
I don't get it. Prior to this update I saw tons of people literally say how they'd pay for infinite lots cause it's just a straight QoL not having to worry about the kits breaking.
I hear a bunch of people raising the concern of " it ruins the economy." So what? The economy has been in outright shambles with the amount of bot farming that takes place. The game isn't about the economy, it's about running around with friends or randos, smashing monsters, saving the world, and the biggest thing I think people forget, having fun.
Not everyone can afford the time or in game money to get the consets consistently themselves. They take a lot of work to get yourself. Making them more available only helps players. If you don't want to make the game easier, don't use them. But stop hating on people that enjoy the easier time.
Now the most controversy I've seen surrounding this is Pre-Searing.
I see so many people complaining about Pre being this time capsule that needs to be absolutely preserved. That no changes should happen to it and that making it easier in any way is an insult and that once again, they ruin "The Economy"
People complain about charr kits being made irrelevant. That isn't that case either. Charr kits still are a challenge to get and still remain for anyone who doesn't want to get the new salvage/Ident kits. But now players who either couldn't get one themselves due to lack of time or skill can now enjoy the benefits of runes without having to worry about collecting a ton of play in pre.
And all I can think is, "When did preserving the Capitalistic economy in pre become more important than people being able to have fun? Maybe actually be able to get a title they may have thought was out of reach of their abilities or time?"
What part of other people running around in their own instances; away from other players, pisses people off so much?
"Oh they can get things easier than I had them!"
"Oh, those consets cost a ton/require a ton of work so it invalidates the work I put in!"
"Oh, I'm losing money cause I can't sell as many consets cause people can get them for free!"
So. Fucking. What??
If your enjoyment of the game comes from policing other players, trying to gatekeep high end things, or trying to force things to stay the same for the sake of a profit, you really need to rethink your ideals. If you don't like things being easier, don't use the accessibility items provided.
