Game update: December 20

yeah since after you update you are in a new instance with updated players. All the un updated ones are in another instance

I agree with the nerf but think Anet should of made the item so that it could not be equipped anymore and that way one of the grips could still be salvaged. Just my 2 cents.

In some ways I think the last laugh is on you.....

Keep on being the L33t35t though! Maybe someday you will be that Enron Exec!

The thing is referring to Anet as hackers isnt really reaching. Yes, it's their game. But they also sell the *rights* to use that game to the public. When we purchase the game. We purchase our own personal account. It's passworded. We have our own keycodes. In other words that small portion of the game belongs to each individual that invested in it. If it didn't, we might as well just have communal accounts that anyone has access too. Not sure how anyone else feels, but for myself, I don't want anyone all in my personal property, and I say personal because it belongs to me. So in other words, going into my account, that I own, that I purchased, in a sense is *hacking*, no matter who does the *hacking*.
I did invest 85k (grips are mad expensive anymore ) in one axe, but that was for my runner. I wasn't trying to make gold off anyone, not that kind of player. I only had one, and when you work for something, then someone just comes along and takes it away because it doesn't *fit* into their neat little scheme of things is wrong. I can see nerfing the axe so that it would no longer be a quest reward with 2 grips. But while they were doing their scans or whatever they did to nerf them, they should have checked to see if the person had multiples or just 1 in inventory. Would have been a clue for them as far as who was trying to make a crapload of money off it. Yes, the HOD has the built in mod, not the point though, they nerfed it where the sword couldnt be made anymore, but did nothing about the ones individuals stockpiled on, and that sell for 300k plus. To me that's hypocritical and not really giving a damn about the imbalance of the game. Just someone that arbitrarily makes decisions and doesn't think it through. Bad call in my opinion.

Ugh, besides clause 18 of the Legal, the more important term is 4c...

(c) Rights to Use Accounts. By agreeing to the User Agreement you agree that you do not own either the Master Account or Game Account (collectively, the "Account") you use to access the service, the characters created on the Account and that NC Interactive stores on NC Interactive servers, the items stored on these servers, or any other data from which the servers and accounts are comprised. The Account you create is needed to login to the service as per section 4(b) and the fee that you pay is to access new Chapters.


In summary, YOUR ITEMS DO NOT BELONG TO YOU. Your ACCOUNT does not belong to you. They belong to Anet, you only own the capability to access the account and the items within, and if the items are 'broken', it is Anet's full right and responsibility to do whatever they wish with them. And Clause 18 gives them full moral grounding to do so.

I can understand people getting upset about the thing (I'd go ballistic probably) but you have no argument to begin with.

PS : Yes I know this has probably been said before, just stating my view with proof...
