In light of recent events, discussions regarding upcoming update I felt I should throw some idea to reduce the drawbacks of this system. Idea in itself is very good, but implementation has effected both people who have been playing honestly and scumbags. I think biggest drawback is inability to differentiate between these two. Cause of it, basic concept of power leveling for money , selling armor for money is killed.
So without changing system, this is solution I came up with, hope you guys suggest any edits in idea or drawbacks :
If you buy or get gear from others, you can use it just for pve. Any sort of pvp let it be rank, duel, budo will be forbidden with such gear.(Unseal coin to use it in pvp)
I know some may feel if you bought it its your right to do what you wish to do with it. But lets face it, Daneos wants to bring this update so you cant stop it.
I am trying to save at least the few who play game for pve, may be it could be this idea lights some ideas in you to deal with pvp as well.
