Joker, aren't you like super-intelligent?
Shouldn't you be able to figure that out by yourself?
I honestly don't see any reason why you can't expect that if you choose to invest your precious loom points into a certain item, and the item gets changed afterwards in a way that you wouldn't repeat your decision, you shouldn't be given the chance to make a new decision.
You can't order meal 12: rumpsteak with beans in a restaurant, and the waiter comes back with salmon and says: "Sorry, the menu card got changed while I was away. Still you have decided for meal 12, so live with your decision."
And who cares for market? It's not an integral part of the game, it's more a small addition. Next to the fact that I don't see where more available loom points would influence the market in a bad way.
As said before, this will never ever be possible again. People would just go for lots of looms, not for quality looms. Because they will speculate on another loom reset.
So yeah, it will, never, ever, happen. Trade it
I don't get this: a loom point is a loom point, and you are (almost) completely free to distirbute it to any item you want. Be it a Flamberg or stones.
Concerning loom points you always have a) the loompoints you get from retiring and b) the loom points you buy with money.
Given that the price differences between items of the same tier but different base value vary not more than the differences between the prices of different players in general, and the to be expected behaviour of the community to raise the prices of "cheap" heirloomed items as soon as you announce an heirloom reset, I still see no problem.
In short: where can I decide between quality and quantity of loom points?
P.S.: Of course I might have overseen or forgotten something. I am really more asking than arguing, but at the moment I still don't get it.
3.: maybe the devs want people to retire and earn them?
Then they shouldn't have introduced marketplace.
This also helps against level 31+ characters and forces retiring if they want to loom cool new gear.
First comment I can accept as reason, but still in the same post you give me the corresponding counter argument:
Sell or trade your current looms for the ones you want.
