Yep. It’s the bulls horn issue.
You either take horn 1, and “perfect” weapons don’t matter nor shouldn’t be chased, in which case fat shark should just increase their drop rates, because there’s literally 0 reason to make them difficult to obtain.
Or you take horn 2, and they do matter and people have every reason to be mad about the time needed to get them, due to mechanical advantages. At worst they have psychological purposes, and we should not be supporting predatory practices to “retain” people. If they didn’t matter, then there would be no mass psychological appeal.
Either way you get stabbed, and there’s no alternative. They can’t both matter for player retention and not matter so as to not irrationally chase them simultaneously.
“Stop chasing 380 items it’s irrational!”
Let’s give everyone 380 weapons more easily.
“No don’t do that! They’re the whole reason people play the game!”
