Im not sure that some people have understood the point of any of that thread.

A power ring for example is not going to ruin the server because lets face it, its a trash item. Above power ring you still have plenty of other rare rings (i use this example as theres 3 classes fighting over effectively the same dc kit). above powers you have oma spirit rings, boundless etc according to GM posts they added another 300 odd items from 35-45 or something like that in the last patch, of which barely any of dropped.

Lets work on the fact of it dropping power rings now iv started the trail of thought im on. This(JD) in particular spawns 1/3hours so thats 8 spawns in a single day (if its killed on spawn - unlikely given the time to get there) 240/month, means 240rings in 1 month. Given there is 3 classes fighting over this 1 ring (each char can wear 2) thats 40 chars ingame who now have 2 power rings in 1 month (240/3/2=40). Lets be honest its not gonna drop a power ring every spawn sometimes it will drop a titan ring so on and so forth.


Is this amount going to cause an issue? No. simply because that power ring effectively becomes the current "Dring" so 40 people have gained 2dc, not overpowered, not breaking economy yet still giving players kit to hunt for (OSR's Boundless etc).
Remember thats based on 1 item of a certain tier which we would be happy to see drop.

In actual fact it would probably spread more even so another example;

240 possible kills/month = 30Prings, 20titans, 20 violets, 30Kbrace, 20Dbrace, 20 (Spiritwheel?), 30Gbead, 20Dbell, 20Soulneck, (30 random item i.e. jmace/ssw/bow etc)
So in that 1 month, bearing in mind thers 3 classes going for dc) thats 5Sins/War/Arch with new kit, 10tao, 10 wiz (35total). On a server with over 100 players where the majority are 40+, 35chars now have 'new kit'. I could go on but i feel iv made my point.

All those who object, please explain to me coherently how this is 'server destroying' without the usual "poor troll replies", "qq" etc etc.


Also bare in mind that the above would only apply to the top tier bosses i.e. OWL,JD,EM,Yims,EE

There are literally piles of more items, I think people often forget. Above power rings there is OSR, Boundless, purple fox ring, great purple fox ring, 2 more high level rings(that I can't remember the name of) and of course Mir rings, This holds true for almost every slot. We are still soooooo far away from having added top tier gear its hilarious. Since gems and refines were added items are getting smashed like crazy, the cieling from drops is still a very long ways away, People are still working on having a couple if not 1 added stat on power rings, the time it will take before you have people with added top tier items at this rate is a very long time.

We have had no FF or shadow step drop properly (the 3 shadow step books were Easter event bugs) I think 1 rage, 1 piercing shot and 1 curse. We have had no wiz, archer or sin dark amours, no fox amours, no sin or archer HA, only 1 other HA, no level 40 wiz weps, no 43 wiz, tao or warrior weps, no 45 sin, tao or archer helms?

In summary we are a long ways off from a saturated server.

5 bosses. 5x35 = 175. Divide that by 3 (neck + rings + bracers) and you're left with 60 odd.

Are you really advocating that 60 out of 100 active level 40+ players (of which maybe 70 would actually do the bosses) get an extra kit to try and gem every month? Cause that does seem a bit quick, considering people saved up for months for stuff like a SSW or Sabre at one point.
