Yeah because if you spend the time to get mats to make tier 2 gear you totally want to lose it to a couple of sneakers to promote "interaction"
I see someone find a wrong game, really, FOnline have enough whiners and noobs, if you fidn the game too hard for your, just quit out, or find some friends to play, (hurr if you have any, if you talk so big about real life).
How about playing TLAmk2?I heard that leveling and getting stuff is a piece of cake compared to 2238. And it's translated in English to 90%.
I happen to know that you don't play the game at the moment. So in my opinion you don't have the standing to tell others to quit if you're not personally dealing with the ingame hardships they are dealing with.
You really don't get this is wasteland not pussyland, if you can't stand fact you got raped, by some slaves/bluesuits/anything thats not failure of devs, but just of you.Afaik there are no exploits that hurt butt of newbies, but it seems that some features you call by using "exploit" word so that is wrong, just learn that.
TS, if you don't like mariposa, you can always craft your GG stuff at some other places. IMHO Mariposa is and has always been a great location, if you want to take the 4th floor into your private property, get a gang, a couple of slavers and 3-5 pvp apes would easily clear out the floor of that crap. What the people in this thread have been trying to tell you is that it is unreasonable for a loner to be able to get GG stuff without high chances of death, if to get it at all... And still, you have some other options, one of them is even pretty safe (Runners).
PS I wouldn't go calling people "kids with plenty of time to play" unless you know them. Most of these "kids" have jobs, gf's and other crap, and prefer spending some of their free-time playing old-school games and doing weird crap such as raping tents and killing blue-suits.
