It's time for a change and I think everybody agrees with that!
We're playing same custom patch, same gear for 1 year now.
Maybe bring back 3.3.5a and keep only the Sacred Cleansing nerf and Rogue Cloak of Shadows buff. The rest of 3.3.5b is unnecessarily added.
We need to have some diversity, need to have some gear and meta change.
Go with 277, 284, 226 iLvL trinkets, swap around 277/264 weapons (PvE ones as well) and enjoy a new meta every season. We're sick of playing same 264 things over and over again. Server is no fun at the moment.
Another thing I would like to address is the gearing part.
Farming gear every 3 days is not healthy for us or server.
Let's take for example CS:GO -> that's a skill based game, everyone has the same potential of killing, they're given equal chances. Nobody gets better weapons over farming anything.
Farming gear -> demotivated people
Free gear and being able to compete equally with everyone -> motivated people
A lot of people I know quitted the server or don't want to come back because of having to farm gear for 2 months.
Time to revamp the server and make it more fun for everybody if not with free gear, at least with changing the meta every season so we can have new challenges!
