ST's fatal mistake..., Don't aid in the spread this mistake Options

[HC82]

As many of you are already aware of, the new West Tower quest introduced a way to add percents to your weapons, any weapon that is(expect Sranks).

20 PD= +5%
1 Photon Sphere= +30%

The amount you can add to a weapon is not capped(100% is natural max). If you have 9 Photon spheres you can add +90% to three different attributes. With the in-game dupe bug that cannot be fixed(it's a natural bug in the game and can be done offline) this allows any gamer to alter ANY weapon they own with 100% to 3 different attributes. Using the in game dupe bug one can exploit this quest and create overpowered weapons, which aren't part of PSOs natural drop list(unless your the type of person who can beat the odds and win the lotto twice in a row).

Anyway, these weapons hurt the teamwork aspect of PSO and class balance. If anyone has played PSO ver1&2 you know the effect these weapons have on the community.

So on behalf of Apocalypse Tribe DO NOT USE these weapons online in ANY Apocalypse Tribe game room. I don't think there is any long standing AT member here who would disagree with keeping these weapon out of an AT game. It drains the fun out of PSO.
Offline is your own business, so do as you please, but online your only hurting whatever dignity PSO has left as an online game.

Man, Sonic Team tries to do something to give some players Percentages on their weapons and the stupid gackers(my new term for hackers thanks to O.o at the arcade) ruin it for everyone. I don't blame ST for this as much as the Gackers but I do think they should have taken the present situation into consideration before they released this quest. According to the first post, dupers can copy these weapons and hand them out. I don't think I'm gonna be taking advantage of the rewards for this quest, I don't have any PDs anyway. ** One More Thing** Why the heck didn't Sega add any restrictions, the Max should have been either 100% to only one stat or 75% max to more than one, that would've been better than what Sega did. Ah, Skip it, Sonic Team should have thought hard about this before they decided to make it possible to make these super weapons.
