Yup. Everyone was doing it, so I figured I'd jump on the hate bandwagon while the getting is good, too. You all should've expected this from me, though.
I posted this on
a thread in Suggestions last night,
copypasta'd it into General Discussions , and finally here. Buckle your seat belts, kiddies, because this one is actually well thought and not one of those short, inane "OMG du1 messed up ff" rants!
"In my opinion, the only good thing to come out of DU1 were the new realistic animations and shading.
The EGGERs messed up the FF 'economy' more than it already was by shooting out URs for extremely low prices, changing numerous item rarities, and completely replacing Accessory Vendors. Getting the Accessory you want is now a game of chance with jacked up prices.
Most of the URs I planned on selling are worth much less than what they were before (To the point that trying to sell them would be a waste of time) . APs used to go for millions. Now they're only worth around 100K.
The Croc Pot just plain sucks. Any practical infusions have an extremely low chance of working. I spent around 200K trying to infuse my Dark Avenger set with Cannonbolt Legs, Taijutsu Sneaks, and a Ben 10 Jacket (all Lv.36 URs) .
We were promised a way to increase the chances of your items fusing, but it was apparently scrapped. Or wasn't even passed around. Who knows.
The Vehicles aren't that good, either. They're slower than run Nanos, are all the same speed, and remove your ability to shoot and interact with anything (Though removing your ability to interact isn't really a con, it's annoying to have to hop off your board/bike/cloud just to trade with someone or talk to an NPC. I can somewhat understand removing your ability to attack, but vehicles are pretty much Antidote Nanos that give an additional (but slight) speed boost) just for immunity to FM patches.
Also, how did they even manage to change the Galatic Enforcer Mask's icon into grey pants? I understood the Domino and Galatic Mask icon switcheroo, but this is just ridiculous (And kinda funny) ."
