Abooze method discovered..

Players could make an account, get free looms then transfer all the stuff from other characters to the NEW account....
Don't have a good answer to that abooze possibility yet.. Any ideas?

Why not just give 3 loompoints to all playes... new and old..

For the old players... it doesnt really give them any benefit if they have a full armorset loomed already..
For new players it close the loom-gap somewhat.

And a booming market. With lots of transactions..
Ofc some traders will be pissed, as they have hoarded loompoints and looms.
The new loompoints will drive down demand...

Less grinding .. more fun..

I´d rather suggest ONE loompoint for the beginning, item untradeable, item disappears after you retire the first time.

Yay more benefits for multiaccounting 
Nah srsly, insta-lvl 35 or insta-mw is no fun at all.

To get more new players up to speed with the rest of the field who has all the loompoints they need.

The learning curve for a new player has never been been steeper than now.

* Skill levels are higher on average than they used to be, as mostly hardcore/old-timers are active.
* Those same players have all the looms they need.
* Because of the above, most players have 32+ characters.

I suggest 2 loompoints. Then they would have some motivation to get their items masterworked too.

Discuss. Preferably in light of less and less people on the servers..

(Of course the items loomed like this, should not be tradeable either, or it would lead to instant abooze.)

New player: whats this loompoint i have? Well they are free so lets just try this "heirloom button". Hey look at that, the stats went up! lets try it again! It worked again! And again, hmm doesnt work, seems like i need heirloom points for that. What you say? it takes 8 million xp before i can get another one? :O Why did i spend them all on this scythe :@

This seems incredibly pointless :/

Besides, you want new players to try out stuff, not heirloom something and then stick with it.

Let them fight for it,if they have enough guts they will grind it if they are weak they will quit this no matter what you give them.
When i first started playing this i played dtv,and there was few ppl that had some clans and whenever i played with them they would ban me for hour because i was too low lvl and they had more chance to get further alone.
THis happened to me at least 10 times.
Did i GTX mode? No i was so pissed off that i was determinated to get higher lvl,and i played,and played untill i reached high enough lvl.
now i am gen 12 and play every day at least 4 hours this mod.
This mod is alive because of ppl like me,who spend a lot of time in game,others just come and go,but  no life players like me is keeping this mod alive.
Who has no life will stay and play it,and don't need any looms.

Bad idea. And not fair to people who played their 1st gen without any privileges. I understand the story of helping new players, but not in this way.

I've played this game for 2 years, so while I'm not a new player, I've only ever had one loom, a +1 tempered nordic champions sword, and maybe a long hafted spiked mace or something.
While I currently borrow looms from the clan armory, this is so I don't have to buy the weapon itself.
My normal gear has no looms, on occasion I'll use a +2 German poleaxe that my friend lent me, but that's more for the looks (and again so I don't have to buy it)
Now I'm no amazing player, average, maybe slightly above, idk. But I never feel at a massive disadvantage to INFANTRY MELEE players who have looms compared to myself.
Now if I'm playing cav, and someone has a +3 Arabian warhorse, I really hate that (I personally think the turning etc is too fast) or if an archer has +3 bow and +3 bodkins, I'll be pretty annoyed at how fast they can kill me (but it's usually ok as I have a shield and don't go chasing archers)
So really, there's a few items that need their looms rebalancing, in MY OPINION, it's bows and the arabian warhorse (those being op to me) and while I haven't ridden the arabian, I did spend some time as an 18/18 longbow archer with +3 longbow and +2/3 bodkins. It was ridiculous.

EDIT: Just make your first gen MAIN char a lvl 30 straight of that bat, but it takes the eqiuvalent of 1-31 to retire (so normal retire time, just meaning they can't all bitch about the difference in stats which really pisses me off -.-)

i spammed yesterday blackcorsair_rs guy with not loomed short falcon.
I first killed his champion destrier,and then spammed him in melee and he had mw calibanarious armor,mw gloves,mw italian sword,mw KHS,mw some crossbow,mw bolts,mw boots,and mw zitta bascinet.
He is very good player,but my spam was too powerful and i killed him with no looms and unloomed weapon.
He had full set loomed,so if i can kill him,so others can. looms are not skill.
