NOT FAIR.
You bring up an interesting point here.

Mindark didn't ruin themselves... they just made hunting a very boring, expensive grind.

I know some folks that have killed without exageration over 50.000 ambulimax and the best item they got was an ESI out of them...

There is a line between "challenge" and "nearly impossible".

Most players like a challenge, but only a few are into the "nearly impossible"... And that is something MA doesn't seem to understand.

Instead of playing the game for the right reasons, some players have gone from playing for enjoyment to playing out of desperation to get something good.

While this may make cash in the short term, it doesn't really motivate a player to stay ingame. Whats the point of playing and competing with old gamers when they have all the advantage in skills, got those magnificent loots, and took the time to dominate economy?

In RL i don't have money issues, i usually buy what i want. But in EU, i feel poor. Really. Everything is so expensive, its a huge turnoff.

Mindark now has over 700K accounts. True. But cities feel more empty then ever. Maybe there are a couple of reasons to this... And one of them IMO is the rewards themselves.

I think they still get such things in loot, but they dont post it, would you post that you found impmk2?
ME NOT.
At that time, uber just meant he was a dedicated player that hunted alot. At those days, his top gear costed as much as your medium gear today.

There are also other loot windows that i didn't put up, from players that weren't that "uber".

They just hunted alot, like some do nowadays, with the difference that then, loots like these would drop.
