This game has roughly 5 armor sets: Carb for leveling, CC, CSS, CM and OFAB for the endgame. Twinking works fine with implants because the old implant system is good and opens a vast number of items to the audience (3 possible clusters, some for stats, some for manipulation of the required ability and that over 200 quality levels). Alphas and Betas as well as normal symbiants ruin that system with level restrictions. You are giving us a new engine, great, that will lure in some people but will not get many people hooked on a fubar system. Hundreds of weapon models and armor skins are catching dust in the database instead of being reused in new revamped items and tradeskills (with a good mixture of armors, weapons and tools the grand new rebalancing would be obsolete, except for AS and other specials and the perk system). We get a new "New player experience", and a lot of other stuff is promised to us and we were asked for patience and a lot of patience has been used to wait for that features but instead of adding some smaller "enhancements" all we got where new promises and excuses why the big enhancements are delayed... again.
I used to play since Beta 4. I have tried almost every MMO since that but never got on a game as hooked as on AO. I encourage everyone that is not satisfied with AO to quit their subscription instead of posting solutions to this or that problem. I have seen so many different great ideas but they chose to ignore them all. They do not want your input, they do not want your opinion, all they want is your money to spend it on silly games like TSW (originally promoted that it is going to be F2P but FC decided to milk the customers a bit more by releasing it as a full price title with a 3/5 day trial that is going F2P anyways. This alone says a lot about the company.)
