So just a bunch of lone wolves fighting for themselves and caring for nobody but themselves. Boring to me at least. I know this is a bit off topic just want to offer my opinion. I would agree on some level about the validity if they hadn’t built over years a steady group of players that would happily purchase all the dlc released even if they didn’t use most of it ( I’m guilty of this) just to keep the game running and more fun to come.
This purchase, however came with the ability to share your purchased items in a limited way (without the dlc you could not repair or craft the item(s) ) and many times this encouraged players to purchase dlc after getting to use the weapon or armor and liking it but, wanted to be able to repair it when their friends may be offline and/or unreachable to do it for them.
Many, many dlcs were purchased this way and it was genius as you got to in a sense preview the item and then you wanted it all the time so you purchase the recipe (dlc) for yourself and many times paid (pun not/intented) it forward to other clan mates later on. I don’t see that happening this go around.
This is one example of many and many more sure to come. I can’t believe finances have got this bad to go this far especially in the face of what has came before and the care that was taken.
This a keystone of the game.
