Capital Games TeamCalling pure BS on this one. I do appreciate the explanation though.
Interesting that in the possible option the "Do Nothing" is not an option because and I quote "Players eventually have enough resources to take the entire roster to R9. " Well, interestingly enough, ALL and the one option you want are all guilty of that, once everyone is R9, then what.
First, you are taking the Theorycrafting out of the equation, the DTC become secondary, mods become almost optional and basically once size fits all because tanks will all be the same, attackers all the same, and no variation needed, now we have is TheroryReliccing. Things don't work, go up in relic and problem solved.
Second, since all the option will lead to the "everyone will have an R9 roster - what then because you yourself say this is not good. Well, where are we now? Or better say, what do we do then?
I am not against relic delta, I always thought the increase in stats in relics was super low and the only true reason I have any R9 is because of ships and GL requirements and raid. Not because I need it. The only other reason to increase relic was to avoid RNG, make things more solid but was never a do or die situation. Relic Delta would push to min/max even further. We used to push for R3 when relics were first introduced, R5 nowadays, R7 for more important toons/teams, but now we will have to push for R9 for attackers and tanks and R7-R8 for healers and support. Very boring, but ok if you want to push us that way. It is your game. The problem is even revised numbers are obscene. If you continue down this path and you obviously are, you will have a hard push back and nothing like you have seen before. But it is your prerogative.
Since you do not play your own game, please listen to the players.
And whatever you want to unleash, if you do not have an answer to what to do when all the rosters are R9, we are all, pardon my French, SCREWED (yes, I am French)
