It's a suggestion on a forum, you can either agree or disagree with me, I can't force upon you any truth you are not willing to hear, but I am more than capable just like everyone else to express reason, common sense and have an opinion just about anything. I don't see how you are capable of dictating what I should do or not.
So, I am just about anyone capable of talking, to tell you that characters who operate effectively without appropriate amount of requirements or restrictions bring balance issues, because that is something players will take advantage of. I'd rather see well equipped characters most of the time, just because that includes more risk and reward what ultimately achieves more play value.
Different topic for that required, it was discussed previously and there was general consensus achieved about the subject. Go and be hurt about it somewhere else.
Hostility doesn't really bother me; it's the fact that I'm always being jumped four-players-on-one. With odds like that, there's no reason for me to engage in a fight--it's just not interesting. 
Time to make some friends, wasteland is harsh and unforgiving.
Hence the problem with the game, only people who play often enough and together are the 2 major factions and they are total douchebags.
There are quite a few players in game and not all of them are faction related and not all of them idle some Shady Sands, players play together even in smaller groups. No idea how you made the connection to only factions, seems like you are very biased.
I mean you'd have to be a total no life to devote this much of your time to a game devoid of anything worth doing.
Players work together and achieve things quite easily, not to mention those who are good with all this faction related stuff.
Through their whining they've removed everything of value to individual players and further made the game tailored only to themselves at the expense of the rest of the player base.
Like what? What has the mean, angry faction players taken away from you?
Personally I've given up on this game, I had some hope for the first 2 year but during the last one it's just been steadily going down hill. 3d will never get done and until then theres no point in making big changes, devs have no vision for the game and seem to just be catering to a few whining tcers
Too bad, kthxbye.
It could have been cool if someone had bothered to actually work out a balanced combat system on paper instead of randomly changing values and hoping for the best.
Most of combat related changes are suggested by players. There are some random features, but for the most of the part they don't even touch combat.
Making a game where the faction with the most players has a huge advantage over everyone else when the server population is so low is ridiculous and you know most of the new players will give up long before ever making it into a faction. Wasteland isn't harsh it's just boring now.
The game was called faction mod from the very beginning, massively multiplayer online role-playing game and in such games ... can you believe it? Players supposed to work together.

Buhahahahahahah.
