I don't value keeping those items over the relevancy of raids. We need more players. First and foremost. I see it as
for growth or
for keeping your banks, hence comments of greed.
*****I dont really see it as greed when ppl spent time or irl money to get the things that are in contention but I do respect your opinions and understand why you and others have them. I see growth, alot of it, the past few days in so many new names, possible alts but seems to be new ppl from questions and dialog. As far as numbers i dont know. Maybe try to make the raid items gained by raids different things, and let ppl keep their non raid gained items, or trade them for rare stuff that can only be gotten with the old raid items, and give it say a month. Can always take raid items away in a month if we dont see xyz growth maybe. I really am just trying to think of a happier medium. Obviously one side wants the opposite of the others or sees things happening differently if things dont get completely removed.
As far as irons keeping stuff that wont work either I could just trade my raid items to my main and keep on keeping on. Would hate to strip my iron but i would even though it wouldnt emotionally be the gear I got my 200m mage on
There are many more ppl that say they will quit, now will they i dont know, and maybe thats ok if way more other ppl leave and get replaced but alot of these ppl are true die hard BS players so I dont think its a good idea to not listen to their wishes.
I wish Pali would make a poll or an announcement so we would not be in limbo, make a decision, because this unrest is like a festering wound and is making some ppl not play now

(Iron people can keep theirs in my happy little outlook)
