Its not about a single weapon lol. I have toons I forged multiple weapons for just to try to make one better then the last. Did any one of them cost more then an upgrade...I'd be telling a lie if I said yes. I've made 4 different swords over the years just for my guardian. If they averaged 5k apiece...guess what, I pretty much could have just gotten 1 upgrade and been done with it.
Its like Demonic has been saying but your too dense for it to have sunk it. People on Jin have made a bunch of different things over the years...had we known what the end result would have been...we'd have just been better off putting those resources towards 1 epic/upgrade right from the start.
Just another example of something that could have been more fair for compensation. How about refunding Jin players rps/ecash we spent on pres stones and IM options. At least give us back what we blew on what is now garbage gear so we can get the new standard gear...that would only be fair considering THEY LIED about jin being upg/epic free.
