Tiering in science fiction

[Milesio]

Hi.

Since the tier system start in game, i feel that was very familiar, but not remember until this week.

David Brin, science fiction writer, have a book with title "Practice effect". Story is in another planet or parallel universe where items and clothes are improved when people use it.

This improvement system must be related to second termodinamic law as i read.

Greetings. Milesio.

Ah, the author of "The Postman". I'll have to look at that! Thanks!

in regards to tiering in game, I look at tiering as somone dissassembling the 2 items, finding the parts that are of superior quality in each, then reassembling a primo unit from those... or maybe like the term "balance and blueprint" for you motorheads out there.
