Might I suggest, in order to soften the blow of having a weapon essentially ruined thanks to the crafting process (including the new changes upcoming), that to go along with it you reduce the cost of buying items at Brunts? Since you’re adamant that we can’t change weapons to suit what we want, at least make getting a new base item, lets say, half as much to buy from Brunts?
I was thinking maybe you could squeeze this in before the 15th of this month, just as a little way of easing the crushing realisation that you sank weeks of grinding into a weapon thats now useless?
