Ok I guess this is partial flame, partial Idea seeing as
how im banned from ideas-wanted but.. I have always thought
those damn swap sets are the most ridiculous thing in this
game. "whew, we just made it out alive from that dragon, hold
on while I completley undress, and then put on new stuff I had
in my backpack the whole time" wtf kind of adventuring party
does that?

Not to mention, you can INCREDIBLY alter the abilities of your
character in less then a second, with a swap set. Ok, will it
be a pain in the ass to remove swaps for people who already
use them (rely on them) but maybe they can mix up their sets
half damage half hpr, half wis half spr, why do you need a
complete other set!? perhaps limit secondary 'eqsets' to 4-5 eqs

Getting rid of them would also Uptune monsters, Uptune the VALUE
of donating for boons and uptune low-level characters because now
they can "sort of compete" with the abilities of higher ones

it would also fuck up a whole lot of pieces of eq in this game. having swap sets is something that brings more diversity and a wider use of the eq in this game, removing swapping (in one way or another) would seriously fuck ppl and the game up. a lot of eq in the game is designed to be swap-pieces, and some are designed not be swapped. I suggest we leave it that way.

Removing a feature of the game that can be 100% completely duplicated with
commands and/or triggers really isnt going ot accomplish much


Also it is a well known proven fact that suggesting tunes based on realism is
pretty silly.

Actually I guess removing the feature would penalize lazy players, but I would
assume the majority of players who go through the effort to min max their eq
via set swapping would be the same people who would duplicate the
functionality on their own via commands etc

1) maybe there is a reason you have news ban fron ideas-wanted, nobody wants
your ideas
2) Why would we want to make low level players equal to highlevel players? why
play the game and get better and make money if the low level player with 1/3
experience and no money has same ability?
3)this game is generally not based on reality, as in reality when someone
kills you, yes you, you would still be dead...
