Not really TBH. How much better is a weapon with, say, +60 in 5 stats compared to +40 in your 3 best stats really? Considering they’ll still be the same in terms of giving level 350 damage, it’s really a small upgrade. Sure you’ll have to pay out the ass or grind a million hours to get a perfect weapon, but compare it to how the system is now; with the new system you can always find an affordable weapon even if you’re a new player and it’ll be good enough to keep up with the high level content, and then you go on to farm progressively better gear. With the current system, meanwhile, you get to max level and then… open a box for three months trying to get practonium and craft a weapon with it, and then you have to somehow acquire 2 practonium and farm a shitload of materials to craft a better weapon, and once you do all that, well, you basically have nothing to do except enhance it and transcend it, maybe farm a whole new one if you get to 0 potential and want to keep enhancing but don’t want to shell out millions for diamond anvils.
TBH I like the new system more.
