Supermax

Basically I'm lazy. It's not that I think I'm so good that I don't need IO's. I just literally haven't done more than like 1-2 hours of PvE in about 3 years. Meaning I don't make any money. The market isn't really my thing either...seems you need to start with a lot to make a lot. I spent all the money I had from all my toons to somewhat IO my blaster. He does have some sets, but zero purple or PvP sets.

The other thing is that I play a whole bunch of toons. When I think about IO'ing all of them, that just sounds like a ridiculously time consuming thing....so I just don't bother lol.

As far as drops, I think I've gotten like 3 total good ones. One I slotted, and 2 I sold, which is why I have like 500 million....probably the most I ever had lol.

Agreed. And yeah, I've always tried to be nice to people.

Honestly, even guys like barrier and conflict, who may come off as meanies on here have always been the epitome of niceness any time I ran into them in the game. It probably comes down to who you're dealing with.

In some cases, there really is no reason to be nice, and the people really do deserve every bit of insults they get. That galactor guy for example. ALL he did was talk mad trash, while getting completely owned. Nobody has any reason to be nice to a guy like that. Well, except in his mandatory anger management class.

Haha, I love this. It's a severe insult, but at the same time a request not to insult people. Well played.

Agreed 100%. While it would be nice to get good changes, there is simply no logical reason to expect them. To change the game for the better, the devs would have to have at least a slight understanding of it. They proved they do not, many times now. Yeah, we can be all cordial and nice to them, but in the end, they will still be pure PvE'ers with zero grasp of the PvP game.

And no, you're not going to be able to "explain" it to them. To truly understand it, you have to do one of two things.

1.) Play the game extensively.
2.) Flat out put your complete trust in a member of the community (like mac) and just basically say "ok, tell us exactly what to do to improve the game, and we will do it."

We already know #1 is false. It's plainly obvious that the devs don't PvP and never have.

And I can guarantee with 100% certainty that #2 won't happen. They would have to admit they're a failure of a development team and that a simple player has better game design ability than them. While completely true, there is zero chance of that happening, for obvious reasons.

So THIS is why invuln has always been popular. Btw, fire has blazing aura. It's just as effective at herding your RV opponents into a dumpster.

Uh, no.

Do you still not get it? Inspirations are not allowed in PvP.

Remember that regin nerf like 4 years ago, where they nerfed regin based on the fact that scrappers "could 1 shot +10 level bosses".

For those that weren't around, it turned out that the devs were doing all their testing on a completely broken server, where the game wasn't anything even closely resembling reality, hence scrappers actually being able to 1 shot +10 bosses. That is what they used for testing, and that was the basis for the changes they were making to the game.

The funny part is it took the players telling the devs that's not how the game works. They really didn't know that scrappers weren't supposed to 1 shot +10 bosses. After all the testing they did on that broken server, not one of them said "hmmm...this seems kind of strange than I'm doing 5000 times more damage than I expected." No, really. Not making this up. That actually happened.

That's roughly when I said that this has to be the worst game design team ever. Boy, was that an understatement. They really outdid themselves with I13.
