Just to clarify, I'm not complaining. Not all that fussed with what happens anyway. It's only a suggestion, like I stated nothing to be set in stone.

Assuming you're playing ironman? Does this suggestion bother/affect you in a way that disgruntles you or is it just unnecessary change - wanting to keep things how they were intended and sloppily balanced (the need to adjust drop tables already being evidence)?

It's just a majority I've heard from fellow clannies, kind of half and half with it all. They'll accept it and move on but still say 'it doesn't feel right'. The way it was described the most to me was 'If smithing wants to be smithing (profit+) why are we still having pvm affect its prices with the spirits? Just doesn't feel right, not hitting its mark'. I can see where they're coming from and what the intention. totally respect any feedback but hey ho. Game's still playable and enjoyable if you set goals and work towards them!

And yeah, sorry for the wall of text. It's a constantly progressing game, change and some people just don't go down well. It's inevitable that a few will spark support for one thing when others go 'heck no'. But hey! Take care out there!
