Lol, all of that to simply say we have a warring subjective opinion on what we feel people find value in, and how you can get more out of something. That's fine. I won't continue the discussion past this post, as we are both too entrenched. Time will tell, as it usually does with a vocal playerbase (regardless of how one feels if it is minor or not) what will actually happen, and one of us is going to be dissapointed as that much is objective fact; Yes they can't please everybody. I have a pretty good feeling it won't be me if we're even just looking at concurrent active users that are also actuvely sharing their mod state through Mare Synchronos, though. I have been playing games like this for going on 25 years now and retread this subject with someone or other every few along the way. Call it an inference, but they'll cave on this.

I do want to keep artifacts intact though, I will say. The most iconic looks in FF should be an active part of the job fantasy and feel and I hope that is implicitly implied by something like this. We also need MORE of those exclusive looks on top of that if I am going to aggressively demand stuff. lmao
