I think its kinda wierd that socket stones cost so much in game. If you have lvl 60 3* equipment you cant afford to put a socket in it. Of course there are people that can afford it. But its kinda strange that PWI wouldnt want more people to beable to put sockets in a weapon or armor. As much as the shards cost to make and buy. At least the ones that are worth a ****. Like shards that add damage. Unless you spend a butt load of coin your not going to get much. Whats adding 20 to damage guna do when you do any where from 700 to 14000 damage? Not alot ,even if u have 3 shards in your weapon. I know that PWi is out to make money, not make the game as good as it could be. But I find the game would be way better if people could afford some of the things that make the game funner. What do you people think?

    Do you even realize how many people become happy if they produce a 2 socket GX? or any 2 socket Legendary weapon. The chances to successfully produce 2 socket weapons of any kind is what? 10%? I certainly wouldn't want everybody to be running around with a weapon that actually took luck to produce for a cheap sum of money. I don't think 1/10 luck should equal like what? 100k? It's just not fair <.<. And please, if you're fighting someone with a +250 (2 grade 11 attack shards) GX barb without a GX with the same shards with the same HP, guess whose charm will die first? Damages stack over time. It's worth even more to fist/claw blademasters, and maybe high interval slingshot archers.

    I think lots and lots of people can afford "things that make the game funner". Take a look around any of the servers and you'll see people with equipment tweaked to the nines, and you know what? They didn't even have to pay a dime of real-life money to do it!

    Basically, what you're really asking is, "Why don't they make everything in the game pathetically easy to get? That way there's no challenge and people who have been playing for two weeks can be just as powerful as people who have played for a year."

    My response is: because that would be really boring and pointless.

    i dont think i ever manufactured a 2 socket weapon ever threw legendary molds or TT mats.

    BUT your talking about adding sockets to a level 60? really at level 60 you'll be level 70 in no times and spending the money on flawless shards (regular price) and socket stones so you can have alittle bit more attack while your hand glows is just not worth the time, effort or money. Levels go by too fast to worry about such expenses at a lower level. Wait and Socket Stone your 90+ stuff. At that point it'll be well worth the money you spent on them.

    I find that alot of what you people say is true. But im not talking about making High lvl sockets easyer to get. Just if you do go threw the lvl 60's so fast it. Why not make it easyer or half way affordable. As it is now you can buy a HH lvl 60 weapon for what it cost to socket a lvl 60 weapon or any item 3* at that lvl. Its seems kinda strange. Thats all. Im not trying to ruin the game for all the higher lvls.

    I just chose not to worry about sockets in the 6x range, because of what you just mentioned...never regretted it or wished for more sockets. b:surrender
