And, to make it clear - the changes comes in effect when VU 9.0.2 is released, which is expected to happen Tuesday, 16th of October.

Feel free to remove the ability to change armor quickly (not that 3.5 seconds is that quick) when you completely remove the tax for donning armor. In fact if you want to add a delay of 1-2 seconds per piece to equip armor feel free to do so (I get that now when switching weapons/FAPs anyway, so why not armor?!).

Whilst we have you here Marco is there any chance of a compromise on the RMB functionality options?

How do you plan on trying to "direct" the looted or crafted foot guards to go to people with those sets, and not just to anyone? For example, if there were 100 shadow sets in EU and 100 foot guard sets were dropped, 100% of the population would still desire these foot guards. This would result in everyone trying to get them and not just the people with the sets. This will make the markup on these very high, unless they are looted and crafted in very large amounts. If this is the case, then armor sets in EU will be very unbalanced. Has this been a consideration, and are there any plans to change the way foot guards are dropping right now?

Ok, I can live with that. Now lets hope the loot does not go down =x

Dear Marco,

You have reduced the equiping cost of Armours, can you please look into the cost of equiping clothes, there is no need to charge such a high cost to simply put on and take off clothes - clothing is a massive part of the social side to this game - MA have made people look interesting some like it some dont - but are we now to see everyone walking around wearing there underpants - wonderful move this......

Can we please have an answer to how you are going to address this Tax on clothes.. Its totally unfare on every player......

Your answers about the clothes tax diddnt answer the questions - you answered talking about the condision on clothes which doesnt address the Tax at all and was nothing to do with the Tax tghat has been added.

Yes, a quick-fix will come in VU 9.0.2, where the middle mouse button functions as change aim-/cursor-mode. In a future TBD VU we will add customization to mouse buttons, as many mice today has a gazillion buttons.

So...You ADDED another part?

WHY? There's SO many thing wrong with that idea.

MAKE THE SHINS AND SHOES ONE UNIT


AND: FROM NOW ON WE WANT TO SEE IN WRITING HOW MUCH EACH CHANGE YOU MAKE IS GOING TO COST US BEFORE YOU IMPLEMENT IT -- DON'T TRY TO DAZZLE US WITH SHINY NEW THINGS AND THEN SNEAK TAXES AND CHARGES IN UNANNOUNCED. YOU THINK WE WON'T NOTICE? YOU THINK WE'RE MORONS? THINK AGAIN.
THIS WHOLE FIASCO JUST SHOWS YOUR ARROGANCE AND THE TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT YOU HAVE FOR YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS.

What about POE footguards? You guys gonna leave some of your biggest investors up to dry?
