I'm curious to see what you guys think about rare items about now. I think that we've learned a bit from the Assassin's Mask, so I'm going to give my opinion and I'd really like to see what you guys think.
I personally am all in favor of having rare items that only a select few players can have. I think the Assassin's mask was a great think to give to the community. Some people complain that the way it was given was unfair (It was given to those who had the last hit on the Assassin.) Personally, I think that was great because any player had a chance of getting the mask, but those at higher levels who did higher damage had a higher chance.
After the masks were given out, there was argument that those who had the mask had an advantage in PVP. My response is: of course they did, that's one reason the item was good! In my opinion there are 2 ways to fix the problem.
1) Get rid of Rare items. I really think this is a lame approach. Rare items are fun, and it gives players something to compete for.
2) Give out more, varried Rare items. Things like "Cryptos' Bandana" and "Agent Pace's Brooch" and "Anome's Sunglasses" are a few items that could be rewarded to players who did especially well in accomplishing coals of major events. I realize that we don't have the same World Events anymore (which I think should be brought back but I udnerstand the short staff problem) but these items could surely still be distributed evenly among the servers.
I don't know if we can change anything, but I'd like to hear your opinions based on what I've said.
