Going back and rereading the MMORPG.com article from a couple of days ago has raised a couple of questions/concerns in my mind.
In the article they say, "Players can collect wyr, which are like an evolution of City of Villains enhancements, through quests, monster bashing, trading, etc." which sounds cool and all but then they also say this, "there are multiple wyr slots on objects for different levels (rarities) of wyr."
So, let's see, we have these highly sought after enhancements called wyr, they have different rarities and they can be traded. My concern is, are we going to have to worry about the cost of these wyr getting out of hand? Will only the richest of players possess the rarest, most powerful wyr?
Say what you want about World of Warcraft (and believe me, I've said plenty myself) but they had a pretty decent system with the "Bind on Pick-up" and "Bind on Equip" items. I hope that there is a different but similarly effective control like that in HJ that will effect the rarest of wyr. Trading and selling common wyr should be allowed and even encouraged but, if extremely hard to get wyr are able to be sold and traded then I fear that could lead to farming and camping. That in turn would lead to exorbitantly priced wyr in the market which would likely lead to gold sellers and buyers which would lead to a less than ideal economy.
Has anyone heard anymore information on this? Does anyone have any ideas on how to avoid this problem in the first place?
