Ah whatever. I'm on a crapton of painkillers. There's not a piece of furniture i didn't bump over in my home by now. It's cool. My doctor said i need it. Not fun though, apathy is boring. Still stand by everytthing i wrote though, could have chosen my words more carefully.

Things break= treadmill. Things don't break, powercreep. It's not rocket science.

Like it or not. The original argument was that a damper on power-creep and a functional economy was not "possible", better yet, impossible. The original argument was that you all supported horizontal progression yet all you cared about was MOAR POW aka vertical progression. This is not only...

Thank, you. But cognitive dissonance is something that pisses me off.

You know what, you're right. Forget about what i said. Power curves vs cost curves are no solution to solve the continuous decrease of power. There is no limit where people would start favoring wealth over power. It just don't exist. Turn it all on me, all these debates were only about how...

That they Don't work as a damper for powercreep if implemented right. On a cost VS power curve, they do. It's like tinkering. If it's too expensive, most people won't bother.

I still think i'm right though. Cause: people love feeling overpowered. Effect: people buy more consumables and fuel the economy. IMO, you're wrong Ronyn. Consumer and producer. (Again, on a lot of painkillers, so excuse my for my bodacious-ness.)

No i don't. As far as i can tell he's a pretty rational person. I disagree with him on some cases but we see eye to eye on a lot of them. The parts where we don't, i enjoy picking his arguments apart but i feel, he feels the same way about me. Also, i dislike calling someone a robot. Sociopaths...

No problem man. I like Ronin. I like getting into debates with him. I'm just on a lot of meds and get a little defensive. I mean well. It's a fight or flight response.

I'm sorry, was that sarcasm or would you like me to do the same to you?

Ah good, so it's just not me.

IKR, Brotherhood is my favorite. Ghost in the shell my second. I'm not a stupid person but i had to watch it multiple times. Storyline is pretty impressive.

It's all in the way you sell it. Item degradation can be seen as something positive. Break your toys, people will hate you for it. Promise them the option of an equal exchange or a potential upgrade and they'll love you for it. Equivalent exchange, you guys really should watch more anime.

Definite. But finding an alternative to a craft break cycle is crucial. Look at what happened when thy threw it out of FF. MMOs are ecosystems. garbage in garbage out.

Yeah, pretty much. You never "break down" like you did in 0.7.You'll never go. "AH SHIT, MY GEAR BROKE". It's more like. "Damn, i lost my super powers for a while." That was the thing about 0.7. Your gear broke, you were F.

Perhaps, but do those games have the budget EMBER does? I'm not saying it's the only solution, i'm just saying it's an effective and convenient one.

Sorry for my moodiness and grouchiness. On a lot of painkillers and tranquilizers. I honestly have trouble reading at the time. Still stand by everything i wrote though. A permanent low power-curve progression system, mostly based on other stats than DMG and HP (so speed, cooldowns, general...

All i'm saying Ronyn. Consumables are good for the economy. This is why i see them as both a solution to powercreep and a healthy economy. You're allowed to disagree with that, but i'm not giving up on my position. If the idea is properly implemented, along with diminishing returns. Meaning the...

It may be the stupidest idea out there, but think of them as a mix between consumables and enchanted gems. It sure as sh*t goes down a lot easier than item decay or repair.
