I don't know why you guys are all shocked over this. Its why I was a strong supporter of keeping farmed/forged weapons the best weapons. At least then you know you are going to get a fair amount of time out of weapons, as new farmed parts are only added when Korea gives us updates. Plus when you do have to upgrade...it just costs time + a few pres stones...not hundreds of dollars. People begged for pay to win weapons, and now they want to cry about them. Wahhh...I wanted pay to win...but not that much! This is going to be the new norm for gearing...they don't have a large player base all spending a little bit of money to forge up their free farmed parts anymore so the small amount of players left are going to be expected to puke out some big bucks to keep the machine running. Up next...don't be surprised to see upgrade rings 2.0.
