I was remembering a much earlier time when Aylia was the first smob on every smob route because she was one of the only things to load a silver etched shield, not incidental to a obtaining a much better reward somewhere else.I like the idea of smobs loading something other than eq, but I also think the economy needs to be fixed so that eq and money have value. Prac resets for cash are a great start.
I guess I'm a bit torn because while I love that re-eq is simple, it has taken a lot of the satisfaction of obtaining eq out of the game. We all have rents full of gear that is now not worth the money it takes to withdraw.
