Still alive

it's been awhile, not much has happened due to real life complications and not being able too log in >.> i was going to make a pos about how idiots annoy me, and embarrassing gear choices (que bastok ring at lvl 70) but ill save that for its on section as i come across them. let's see, well i finally started going to sea, and as soon as i get some more gear or finish rng, ill be starting limbus, the new price drop is making attending more realistic to me. my playtime has however almost completely shifted to event only. severely cutting down on hours of afk or doing nothing in town while waiting for someone to ask for help.

no, im now focused on campaigning rng and getting it 75 before i start the long relic road.

my other focus is finding a competent nyzul group so i can finally get askar, which would allow me to play sam again (finally.) my main goal for tp body on sam is the askar korazin, over the haubergeon+1. i assume there are other people like me but the general concensus disagree's with my views. after playing for over a year in the haub+1 it got quite ugly and boring. the agi and eva- also hurt alot since i tend to take hate for no reason quite a bit. so when i see this (semi) new item come along it seems like an answered prayer. it suffers a hit rate decrease but in turn provides more surviveability. besides the fact that i'm one of those people who'd rather look good for slightly less performance than look horrible for great stats.

this is the road ive tried to take as much as posible from day one. so in sea i was alittle taken back when i saw one of the new sam's looking for a haub+1, then showing up in an enkidu's harness... (brand new alternative to the haub.) over the course of the daay i witnessed her use an NQ haub, askar korazin and enkidu's harness, which brought me to question why someone would spend 2.7 million more for slightly better accuracy than they already have? some people have a good way to make money i guess, but when you have every FREE alternative, is it really worth it? apparently so to some.

i know for a fact rarity drives price, but the rediculous price's boggle me when everywhere i turn someone has these expensive items. weapons are a prime example. i'm currently in the market for a hagun and kriegsbiel. both come from small events, both have low drop rates, both are two-three times the price of every other weapon their respective jobs can equip (sam,rng) yet every person who knows what their doing will spend what seems like a life savings to buy these items. its slightly astounding to me, the limits of what people are willing to do for an uncommon, (not rare, uncommon) item in this crazy fantasy world.
