I mean, I have been on the fence with item insurance here idea. I like the idea, because people wouldnt run and hide all the time afraid to lose the suit, but also defeats the purose of risk vs reward. So Im against it, but not like it hasnt flirted in my mind that it might help. But if we made farties cheaper, and maybe bumped the doom drop rate a bit, there would be more PvP all around. Between real arties and imbue, they could alteast compete without having to play factions.
And if we could get more players over (even the PvMers) we would have more resources for imbue, more arti resources, more leather, more players for the PKs, more PKs out for the players of Justice to hunt. I just think if we asked for some changes, some that were accepted by our population, and could better the shard, even if it makes this not as much of the "Hard Shard" as some are stuck on.
And on the sunchickens comment, the monster push is BS sometimes. I like it, but if I push through an elite ninja hidden in tok, i lose some stam, and it slowly regens. But in the mean time, I could have one stam less then max, and I cant run over a bunny on my mount :/ I know its probably no possible to change easy, but certain things shouldnt stop us. I mean a twig on the ground? Really? If I was on a trail, I could have a 10" log across the trail, and the horse would jump the damn thing....but im leaving the topic.
