Granted or negated Wishes / Re: Please modify Repair Weapon (and armour) mechanics to reduce barrier
« on: December 17, 2011, 10:39:35 pm »@Tlok: There is a feeling that is coming through your posts that you would like to be able to play PS independently yet are using RP to justify reasons for changing mechanics that are impeding you to do that.Brief digression to ask, quite seriously: why would it be bad to want to play independently, especially when new? Some people are shy, especially when they're new players first getting used to a game. Some people are hesitant to accept charity (I know I personally am often uneasy asking for help, in part because I had an very unpleasant experience as a newbie re: one of those oldbie benefactors). Some people may just want to play loners or very independent people. I'm not sure it's a great idea to cater PS exclusively to shameless extroverts.
Back on the main topic: yeah, I've gotten to the point where I'll either use cheap and disposable weapons or (occasionally) pay some other sucker to do the work for me. I think I ran the numbers once re: how much cheaper that was! Repair weapon/armor being so difficult doesn't even make sense in context, as there are other, cheaper skills that objectively would be no easier or harder to learn to do.
