Would you be happier when half your loot was:
interactive simplifier component 100.08% MU
socket IV component 100.05% MU
paint violet cream 100.2% MU
socket V component 100.24% MU
robot heat sink 100.32% MU
robot weapon sight 100.47% MU
robot hyper charger 100.47% MU
robot weapon grip 100.73%
any compilation of the above ?
Would you have just TTed it to buy more ammo?
Well in that case be happy, now you got shrapnels. Directly converting it into ammo, makes 101%
I don´t get all this complaints!
(loots and markups taken from Entropedia)
Personally i would prefer the junk and have the choice to tt it and buy ammo, probes, a natty hat or whatever. But i also understand why others love the change, depends on play style and turnover. For me i got a kick out of selling junk for higher mark up in lower volume stacks, helps keep the books balanced but.... limits my turnover and storage is often full to brimming with stuff i choose to sell slowly.
For others cycling high ped volume just takes away the hassle of tt-ing it, and gives 101% universal ammo which btw is not tt-able. Others dislike the very fact that uni ammo once converted means that ammo can no longer be tt'd in emergency for auction, hair cut or wanting to mine... or whatever (but shrapnel can ofc but once converted is to late).
As i said i kinda understand different reasons etc for loving/hating the new shrapnel but until the markets adjust to the new drop rates nobody really knows (including Ma i suspect) the outcome. Looking at loot without the ammo/shrapnel on most mobs now with current mark ups looks bad, but market will adjust over next few weeks.
As for me i'm watching and waiting, doing other stuff and burning last of uni ammo i bought from the shop (20h-dna i sold for 50 ped so was done deal). Also i think they said is just the 1st rebalance with more to come.
I would advise people who are unhappy wait it out and see.
