Confirmation that the devs either don't play the game or are oblivious to the people that do play the game. Have you not read any of the million threads about sampire/wammy builds, have you not looked at the trading forums and noticed what items/properties are selling for high prices, have you not sat at Luna bank or Fel Yew gate and noticed the same items and properties that are on everyone's suits/weps?!?!?!?! These things have been pretty consistent since shame loot came out, most have been the same years before the loot came out.
Or it's just confirmation that we are open to hearing what you'd like. It was pointed out elsewhere in the thread that making weapon artifacts is extraordinarily difficult in a post Imbuing/reforging world, and this is very true.
I also like to believe that not every player is interested in playing a "whammy" for the sake of playing a whammy. From my own main character's personal perspective he would never be interested in doing anything but being a swordsman because that's the persona that I've chosen to create for him over his 14 year history. Different people play different templates and we try to provide something for everyone.
All that being said, everyone's responses have been an extraordinarily helpful exchange and I hope you will be most pleased moving forward.
