And whats really funny is how people complain about something that will never directly effect them if they dont want it to. Ok someone with Wisdom might get to keep a weapon.... how is that making the game less fun for you? All it is, is a much needed bonus for titles that are otherwise just for bragging rights.
Everytime Anet makes a significant improvement in the game someone comes along and complains about some minute detail it changes

Well, I personally think manitoba just did a great job outing himself. In his first post, he goes on a "rant" and cheers this as a win for the new players (the new advantage to wisdom title). Then when he finds out he misread and that it just gives you a higher chance you KEEP the weapon and that 100% salvage and mod choice is INDEPENDENT of title, it suddenly becomes a "title advantage is unfair to the new player" rant.
Basically, if the game gives the type of advantage HE wants (> chance keep weapon, no 100% or mod choice), then it's great for new players. If EVERYONE gets a different benefit (100% salvage with mod choice) and yet the bonus stays the same (> chance keep weapon), it becomes unfair to new players.
Transparent at best. This whole "trader use the new player" excuse card is pretty pathetic. The "it gives longer players an unfair advantage over new players" is also the exact opposite they've agrued in the past because the whole thing was a "I put in the time, I deserve a reward, my xxx rare weapon that you can never have without 10,000 hours also and then only if you get lucky to see the drop".
Anyway, this doesn't seem like much of an advantage to me. If I'm salvaging something off a weapon, it's because I want that part, not the weapon. Otherwise I'd just replace the part. It's pretty rare I get an item I want and a perfect mod I'd want on ANOTHER weapon, not that one. To me they took the best road....you get your grind title reward for something that the majority could care less about having happen anyway, while EVERYONE gets the new salvage system that will benefit EVERYONE.
