I asked myself a question today
Did it hurt?
Yes it did....lol
Whilst hunting Prots with my limited LC-60, I asked myself "why am I running this L stuff". Why don't I want an unlimited anymore, and why does my desire for an unlimited drop by the day.
The next question I asked was what really is the long term benefit of basically having no assets, nothing of any real value to sell or gain or lose in value.
And the third question was, if I did own a lot on unlimited "how would I feel".
My final question was; What made EU great and full of avatars 6 years ago.
This is how I answered myself.
I run Limited because MA wanted me too, it's the only way to be 10/10 hit ability (at Level 70's)
I still have the MKII justifier (basic version), I had before L came in, it's been in store not used for years.
Then I asked myself, if we didn't have L, would there be a thriving market, and literally millions of peds flowing into MA for trades.
Would more players have stayed or want to drive their hunting career more "now" if they had assets worth fighting for.
I find myself hunting 'only' for skills, and not personal wealth, and also have little faith in trying to obtain any wealth because I can't see it providing more of a stronger fighting position than the L guns I use.
So here is what I was thinking:
What if there was a server (area) that could only be hunted with non-limited, some super mobs that people who have obtained the skill can hunt and 'justify' the values of their unlimited weapons. Say these mobs drop special items, to make those who can't hunt in that place to think about asset purchase.
Would that drive more people content with L, to desire more?
And this is the biggest issue.....desire. Is L simply enough to retain or does the player psyche want more from this world, or could MA do more to make players want more.
The biggest issue with me with L, is in all honesty is I can take it or leave it. MA removed my need for commitment.
Anyhow I thought worthy of discussion.

I'm not looking for anything, just trying to understand what motivates me, and what could motivate me more.
