I'm calling BS.
If you played with a larger group you would recognize people do ALL of the content that generates the 'real versions' of the Blackthorn's rewards. If you refuse to move out of your own little circle and play with other groups that do this stuff, then that's your own choice. Blackthorn's shouldn't be filled with rewards from every encounter in game because certain people don't want to put in the time and effort to get rewards.
You know I find it sad at as a Moderator of this forum you find me so loathing that you must attempt to assault and belittle me at every opportunity...
You are right I do play with a select group. I do so because I refuse to play with asshats... cheats... and bullies. I don't want to move out of my circle and have to tolerate poor manners and behavior just because someone thinks they know everything there is to know about the game and they insist that you do everything their way...
But enough of that... I didn't ever say I wanted much more than a change to Leorocians Mempo added to Blackthrons... I asked for it in the first place when they first began the concept of Blackthorns dungeon... but the DEVs seem adamant that we wear the hideous thing...
I much prefer adding a new skill to the game to alter items. One that would allow me to alter that hideous Mempo into something far nicer... like maybe the Ankh pendant... same slot, same properties ..... thinking it would say something like "Leorocians Mempo (Altered)" And somewhere if you altered say a pair of studded leather pants it would say "Studded Leather Pants (Altered)" even if it were looking like a leather skirt. THAT is what I would prefer and THAT is what I have asked for from the beginning as I absolutely detest Blackthorns reward system and think it's a cop out for really just giving us the ability to alter things. Seriously if we can alter things into Gargoyle we OUGHT to be able to not only alter them BACK into human/elf but we ought to be able to alter most anything... Tailors, carpenters and armorers did this ALL the time.
Same goes for being able to recycle wood from things rather than just destroying it. I had a friend who's father worked in Salvage... he reused wood ALL the time. I helped many a summer tearing apart buildings and such for lumber, tin and anything else that was scrap and salvageable.
But that's me. Perhaps if you knew me better you wouldn't be so quick to judge me.
Edit: And I don't know when I pissed in your Wheaties but this is getting old.
