What if we get rid of looms?

[Rebelyell]

I was always against that idea but nowadays with current population and state of market is there really reason to keep looms around?
Every old player have more than enough of them, big clans have hundreds of looms in armoury.
Game balance would be way easier, better acces for new players, more variety on battlefield etc.
Personally I can see only benefits of that.

I feel like it is to big thing to ever happen but i wonder how others see that.

Are we also going to abolish gold?
Will all gear be free, to mix and match as we please?
What about experience? No need to level up, anymore. All characters are STF, forever. That's fair, right?

[Voncrow]

In previous patches they made it easy for newer players to gain levels and gold, now they aren't nearly behind as the people who have been storing up over time for years. LPs on the other hand would require a reset or something to put people on even ground. So his idea of just getting rid of them isn't as unreasonable as you're saying Uulmshar, then again I wouldn't support it since I don't think the LP gap isn't that important.

Loom respecs for free once a week would be pretty awesome

If we had no looms a large part of the playerbase would feel unmotivated to play. Best thing to do is continue with front loading the bonuses from looms (diminishing returns like with the new boot looms that give +3, +4 then +5 rather than +1,+3,+5). Weapons need that diminishing returns now too so looms aren't a requirement but still give a slight edge for the achievement/min max type gamers while not putting newbies in a position where they need +3's rather than +1's. So keep looms, make retiring more appealing (more looms from retiring, lower STF level, tweak free resepc) and put in more diminishing returns

BTW i've played since 2011 and have only 7 looms. I need people to retire if I want more

Solution:

1 Free Loom respec a week like the free respec a week we get now or

Implement a system where looms can be bought any time at a fixed price like you can sell your LP but it cant be above 400k

Id be all for changing stats for swag.  but,  if this should happen,  horses would need to be buffed to current +3 status.  I couldnt imagine a world without my +3 courser.  its speed,  that is.

slowly it gets boring in the merc armoury i can get anything i want +3, there are like 350 mws

not enough horses tho.  I have more then the armory actually.  need more whorses

change every Item to +3 stats and get rid of looms. I would be all for it.
maybe we could use looms for pure optics (heirloompack implemented). So you oldmy old friends witch tons of looms would be aknowledged on the battlefield as a veteran but you don't have the advantage of better equipment(combined with more experiance) over the newer players.

Leveling and retiring gives people another reason to keep playing, don't take away reasons to keep playing. I know when I was newer to the game I really wanted my own looms

Isn't that called Native?
