So ....

Haven't any of you noticed the very *odd* coincidence that explorable areas / missions that people post long "How to Farm" threads about keep ending up as the very same areas where the drop rates are altered / nerfed ?

Just something for you to think about

My point stands. The difference between the best equipment in the game and equipment that anyone can get without even a minute of farming at all is very small, and if you think that difference is "required", then you're just making excuses for yourself.

Example time. Look at the difference in damage between an Elementalist with 13 in a Magic area (max possible without a rune) and then 16, with hat and superior rune. Lightning Orb damage increases by nearly 20 points, from 88 to 106.

When you're seeing 20% increases in damage in the case of said Elem, and similar leaps in effectiveness in other abilities effectiveness in other professions, yeah, items do have a significant impact.

Your point really doesn't stand, as you have no real understanding of the massive impact runes have, and its runes everyone is after.
